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

i think more and more voters are valuing peak/prime so i dont think amassing a lot more yards necessary. sure it would help but one more great year i personally would put him in and i think he has a better case than priest/tiki at that point, two great years would make him a lock. he already has a 2000 yard season, another top 2 finish in rushing, and two scrimmage yard titles. one more great season and his peak/prime resume is better than every back not in the hall except henry/peterson and better than some in the hall.

:mjlol: "ONLY NEEDS"

YOU KNOW HOW HARD
IT IS TO GET ONE 1500 YRD
SEASON LET ALONE 3?

SAQUON HAS LITERALLY
ONLY DONE IT ONE TIME
:devil:

Exactly. Marshall Faulk doesnt even have a 1500 yard season. Several HOF RBs only have one, Bettis, Martin, Marcus Allen. Other notables like Jamal Lewis, Ricky Williams, Corey Dillon only have one 1500 yard season. I think the great, HOFer Tony Dorsett only has one 1500 yard season, too. I think Ricky Watters and Thruman Thomas(HOF)both missed out on a 1500 yard rushing season, also.

Do you know how many running backs there are who had 1 or 2 incredible years?


Shaun Alexander, Ahman Green, Jamal Lewis, Ricky Williams, Tiki Barber, DeMarco Murray, Barry Foster, Larry Johnson, Chris Johnson, Jamal Anderson, ...

We can go on and on

we're not talking about 1 or 2 though. he already has 2 elite years and a 3rd pro bowl appearance. one more separates him from everyone listed. not from a career yardage standpoint, but from a peak standpoint.

He can do 6 750. The point was 4500 yards

And like I said he’s played with a terrible oline his whole career. Now he’s with a good one and did 2k immediately

JAMAL LEWIS HAS
4 1300 YARD SEASONS
INCLUDING A 2K SEASON.

SAQUON HAS 3

TIKI BARBER HAS 4
INCLUDING THREE 1500 YARD SEASONS

SAQUON HAS ONE 1500+ YARD SEASON

YOURE WRONG

IF HE DOES SIX 750 YRD SEASONS
HES A SCRUB AND WONT MAKE
THE HALL REGARDLESS

PLENTY OF PLAYERS
HAVE HAD CRAZY SEASONS
AND GONE BACK TO REALITY
AFTERWARDS.

EXPECTING THIS TYPE OF
PRODUCTION AGAIN IS CRAZY

MARTIN HAS SEVEN 1200 YRD SEASONS.

SAQUON HAS 3 SO FAR
SO HE HAS TO BE ELITE
FOR 4 MORE SEASONS
TO CATCH HIM

:devil:
:evil:
depends on what the measurement for elite is. martin has 1 rushing title and 2 other seasons where he finished top 2 in rushing. saquon is only one elite season away from matching that.

Will still reach the HoF games in total yards

And I don’t know if I’m chatting with an AI but he can do 2k again, then 1k then 1k, then 500

Same result, in total yards.
I don’t have time too lay out every possible scenario in which he can reach the HoF guys in rushing yards :snoop:

barber and lewis top 2 in rushing yards once, barkley twice already. lewis 1x pro bowl, barber 3x pro bowl, barkley 3x pro bowl. one more elite season and he clearly has a better peak resume than both if he doesnt already.

MARTIN IS IN DUE TO CONSISTENCY.
AS I SAID SEVEN 1200 YARD SEASONS
PUTS HIM IN RARE COMPANY WITH
PAYTON, BROWN, TOMLINSON, PETERSON, dikkERSON,
EMMITT AND BARRY.

YALL KEEP LISTING GUYS
THAT HAVE DONE EXTRAORDINARY THINGS
THAT SAQUON HAS YET TO DO.
