I think there's a rule where you got to play 10 yrs to be eligible for Canton.
I know the rule exists in MLB dunno bout NFL

Tough call.
Denver had a legendary o-line and o-line coach with an impressive scheme...the anderson and gary successes seem to diminish him. Also, Elway as a name, seems to diminish him as well. He was well past his prime but they had solid targets like Sharpe, McCaffery and Smith and a good passing game. Not to mention he really only played 4 seasons.
On the other hand that 98 season is easily one of the GOAT seasons as an RB. Aside from the yards and touchdowns, he only had two fumbles in over 400 touches and was clearly the most talented player at the time on that team (and the team prior).
Id have a hard time voting for a guy like Bettis over him essentially because Bettis was durable and lucky to avoid major injury. The same dudes saying Bettis was a better back are probably the same trying to claim Emmitt is up there with Sweetness and Barry. They can use that logic but I don't agree with it at all.
Plus that whole Bettis SB narrative about him being in his home town for his last game for the SB then getting a rigged ring was nauseating to me. He is far from a legend. If he wasn't fat enough to be durable and was on a random franchise, he would have been Rodney Hampton status. He had 9 seasons under his career yards per carry average of 3.9, had like a 3.4 ypc in the playoffs with only 3 good games in his whole career. Got completely shut down more in the playoffs than had good games. Plus he wasn't shyt as a receiver. People remember him most for being fat, being called The Bus and hearing Chris Berman do his rumblin bumblin shyt.
Give me Davis all day over him.

Nah, that's not so. Lynn Swann only played 9 years and he got in.
I loved watching TD.. I think he was a Hall of Fame back. Wish he didn't get injured in 1999
I thought his run was the most dominant run of any back in history. It was just too short.
You'll have guys like Tiki, Fred Taylor, Alexander, Lewis and Dillon all PO'ed if he gets in and they dont. Bettis is not a HOF'er imo either.
