How many more years of elite production does Saquon Barkley need to be a Hall of Famer?

[Turk]

• Super Bowl champion (LIX)
• NFL Offensive Player of the Year (2024)
• NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year (2018)
• First-team All-Pro (2024)
• 3× Pro Bowl (2018, 2022, 2024)
• NFL rushing yards leader (2024)

Rushing yards: 7,216
Rushing average: 4.7
Rushing touchdowns: 48
Receptions: 321
Receiving yards: 2,378
Receiving touchdowns: 14

These are Saquon's current stats and accomplishments. In 7 seasons, he's rushed for 1000+ yards 4 times. He recently turned 28 and it's worth noting his injury history.
How many more seasons of elite production does Saquon need to be a HOF? 4 more years? 5 more years? or is the HOF out of reach for him in your eyes?

He's got a long way to go.

If he has another year like 2024, that's all it'll take. He'll get the Terrell Davis stimulus...

If this is his only year like this and he falls off a cliff, he won't get in...

If he plays about near what he was in his first 6 years, for at least 2 more years, it'll probably be enough...

As we stand, I think he clearly had an All-Time single season, but it's an anomaly of his career. I wouldn't personally put him over Tiki or Marshawn or Shady yet, though this year has brought him stupid close...

 

[Mandizi]

3 to 4 more pro-bowl/all-pro caliber seasons should get in him imo. Prayfully he stays healthy.

 

[Ozymandeas]

At least 3 more years of being very productive. Maybe 2 more years after that of being serviceable.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Don't you generally need three 1st Team All-Pro seasons to get into the Hall? It's gonna be tough doing that at RB where there's only one spot available in each conference. Couple injuries here or there and Jahmyr Gibbs could easily get that All-Pro slot instead of him next season.

My personal standards for The Hall in any sport is higher. Davis has 3 great years. It's not long enough for me for Canton, though I think his MVP is justified...

So when I say Saquon would get the TD stimulus with one more historically great year, that's what I mean. Saquon ain't been this throughout his career. He's had a good career, but nothing even remotely close yo his 2024...

He has one more like this, they'll put him in Canton on some TD shyt...

NO THEY WONT.

IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DONT
UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY PERSON
WHO HAS WON NFL MVP PLUS SB MVP
ARE IN THE HALL.

SAQUON DOESNT FIT THIS CRITERIA

RB HOF debates gonna be spicy because they aren’t gonna get the same total production as the past aside from Henry

THEY DONT NEED THE SAME
TOTAL PRODUCTION
THEY JUST HAVE TO BE THE
BEST AT THEIR POSITION
I.E. ALL PRO SELECTIONS....

PLUS THEY PLAY 17
EVENTUALLY 18 GAMES
WHICH ACTUALLY HELPS
THE PRODUCTION ISSUE

It’s probably going to have to be similar to how gale sayers got in
