We're probably going to start seeing a dearth of RBs in the Hof. The shelf life of them seems to be too small these days. They come in the league at 23. Don't really get started going until their 25 and outta there at 30.

The standards for a RB will have to change.
the one thing about the Pro Football HOF is that there is no set standard. They really do look at greatness in that era.

For that reason, I think the true standouts will still make the HOF.


For me, I think Charles needs one more season of just good play. Breh is really the prototype of the modern RB.

Marshawn and AP are locks, imo.

I want Gore to be one, but dont think it happens unless he has one more beastly season.

Shady needs like 3 more seasons to get there.

Lynch and Gore. Charles and everybody else still have a lot to do before we can seriously start having that conversation. I hate the fact that Forte is essentially wasting away up in Chicago because that man is a monster, and he never gets the respect he deserves.

People talking about Marshawn Lynch and I'm like what? He doesn't even have 10K yards yet

Uncertain grounds
with a lot of RBBCs...RB's are going to need to be better in the pass catching game to get in compared to years past. I dont think Lynch or Gore are first ballot HOFers..they will likely get in though. Foster, Charles, Bell, Lynch, Gore, Forte, McCoy, Jackson and (lowkey) Sproles have the best chances IMO. Sproles might be able to sneak in for catching and special teams contributions but that could be a reach.

How much will the child abuse suspension and fallout have on AD? Same with Lynch and his relationship with the media.

On ability and production:
AD (lock)
Lynch (basically a dominant postseason away)
Gore (depends on how long he sticks around and what kind of numbers he can accrue...always been overlooked)
Charles, McCoy, Bell, Lacy all just have to stay healthy and consistent for a few more years
