so 3.9 yards per rush makes you a HOF these days?

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Probably has the most immaculate hair line in NFL history

 

[PTBG]

Shyt was a joke, but I guess sucking up to the media & being a Steeler will get you in automatically. If Hines fukking Ward gets inducted, and its probably gonna happen.

 

[Carlos Huerta]

definitely doesn't belong. Not even a top 5 back in any season he ever played.

 

[Rosecrans]

Once again, you can tell who watched him play and who's just a stat/attention whore on here :crackheadfoh:

 

[MikelArteta]

why the hate for bettis

 

[Yogi]

Damn, I would have bet that he averaged more yards per carry. 3.9 shouldn't get you in the hall of fame.

 

[*Hulks Up*]

being a Pittsburgh Steeler dont hurt either

on the real, the Bus is a HOFer. Ran for alot of yards, currently sixth all time. Wasnt elected for his first several years of eligibility if you care to have different distinctions amongst HOFers, but in the end he belongs.

This is why it's so important to actually watch games instead of going to googled stats. No, Bettis wasn't flashy or had godly stats but he absolutely dominated 2nd of games with his running. When it was needed most and it only took 5 years for the HOF voters to recognize it. That 3.9 stat is the only thing people can criticize Bettis about yet he and Hines Ward defined a decade of late 90's early 00's football. Power backs aren't even that widely used anymore and they sure wouldn't have a career aslong as Bettis had let alone get in the top 10 in rushing, spots reserved for traditional running backs only. The Bus and those Steeler teams were amazing to watch I'm glad there are still voters that rely on the games instead of the stats.

 

[King Jove]

The bus used to terrorize me all the time on madden 06

You just couldn't stop that man on 3rd and short

I watched him with the lambs, u probably thought he was a steeler for life

 

[Texas2step]

Yall are aware that running backs do more than just run the ball right

he was a compiler. There was nothing amazing about those teams. They weren't dominant or anything close to it.

 

[MikelArteta]

Damn, I would have bet that he averaged more yards per carry. 3.9 shouldn't get you in the hall of fame.

marcus allen is at 4.1
curtis martin is at 4

nikkaz acting like 3.9 is so horrible considering the type of back jerome was

jerome would have been at 4 as well but his last season dude was just used as a goal line or 3rd and short type back

 

[King Poetic]

I can't hate... if joe namath can have only 173 td to 223 int and make the hall of fame, the bus for Damn sure get in

 

[Rich Spirit]

Yeah, he don't belong.

Shawn Alexander should be in too right?

 

[South Paw]

Shawn Alexander should be in too right?

nah. If he had a few more good years, he'd be there though.

But Shaun was dominant when he was in his prime. Bettis never hit that level.
