Dillon was never considered the best by a significant amount or even top 3 during any given season. The same could be said for most of the RBs around that mark besides OJ and the 1 All-pro season from Jamal Lewis. He also already has more TDs than Earl...(rimshot!). It's pretty crazy LeSean McCoy is 22nd all-time. I never would have figured that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without tracking it, I'd say for every big screen play, there's 2 or 3 that go nowhere but that stuff is really all dependent on the OL and WR's blocking right to set it up. He was 9th in receiving yards last year and has continued on this season being sure handed and a weapon in the passing game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never would have figured that in which direction? It was him and AP for easily the most dominant players at their position over the course of that decade.

rns90 Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Depends what the number you think he needs to get in. 10000 is probably pretty achievable, after that it gets murky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I didn't think he accumulated that many yards rushing, but his durability is noteworthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the HOF backs have 12 K rushing and at least 2 1500 yard plus seasons. DH has a shot if he can get a couple of more good seasons but as PK noted it's not the lock Titans fans think it is and I'd add the RB devaluation won't help come 10 years from now when he's being considered.

It's Henry versus the crowd, and he has enough accolades and reputation that I think hitting 11k does the trick. You don't speak of football since the last 6 games of 18 through last year without mentioning Henry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he pops a few screens for huge gains every so often. He's not running routes out there like some of the 3 down backs. His success rate receiving is 42% so far....but in fairness it's early.

I think if he can hit 10K yards after this year (he's at 8478 now) he's got a good shot of just hanging around and getting the other 2,000 yards spread over years. We have no idea how he will age and how the RB cliff will be for him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Forget most of the HOF backs... all of them played in a different era and stats aren't comparable. The idea that XYZ accumulated stat is necessary, as opposed to being a lion of the times is silly to me. Henry is iconic for multiple reasons (2k, stiff arms and even just stature if I'm honest). That'll probably be enough regardless of stats, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that he's become a factor teams have to regard in the passing game, which wasn't really the case before last year. He's also a better hands catcher than given credit for. He obviously isn't running a full route tree, but he's a weapon that needs to be accounted for in the passing game, which has been an evolution for how we use him.

But when people look at this era, DH is way down the list in terms of getting mentioned by the actual people that will be voting him in. Now maybe a huge play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
