OFFICIAL NFL Discussion Thread: 2015-16 Season - Congrats to the Denver Broncos and their fans! SB 5

[mister friendly]

I've said this before, if Kurt Warner is a HOFer, Terrell Davis is a HOFer.

Short and brilliant careers.

•season

61 games
6413 rushing yards (105 yards average per game)
1 td average per game (56 rushing, 5 receiving)

•playoffs

rushed for 2008 yards in 98. he sat out 8 full quarters in the season when the broncos had a good lead in a game. in a sense, he rushed for 2008 yards in 14 games. if shanahan played him for those 8 quarters, the rushing record for a season could have been broken.
2008+125.5+125.5 = 2259 rushing yards (based on davis's average rushing yards per game in 9
rushing record - 2105 by dickerson

•first 4 years rushing in nfl history

eric dickerson - 6968 yards, 4.8 ypc
earl campbell - 6457 yards, 4.6 ypc
terrell davis - 6413 yards, 4.8 ypc

no member in the hof has more rushing touchdowns than terrell davis (56) in their first 4 years in the nfl


get TD in the hof

Those playoff #'s

No lie this was my exact same reaction.

I knew TD beasted in the playoffs but cotdamn.

TD was a BEAST though. Still love his play in the SB when e couldn't see. Shanahan

 

[jjs07]

Charles Woodson replacing Keyshawn at ESPN?

Wouldn't Ryan Clark make more sense?

 

[rolaholic]

Shaun > TD

Naa ,can't imagine TD behind those Seahawks OLines though :x :x

 

[polosanddunks]

All this time I thought TDavis was in the HOF. Wow

 

[dmxfury]

Longevity should be celebrated but so should dominance. You can't tell the story of the NFL without those TD and Broncos years

 

[law3001]

Shaun > TD

I can't cosign this

 

[dmxfury]

I respect 55 always sticking up for Shaun. We all have our favorites (see me with tight ends lists and Heath)

 

[lightweight champion]

Does TD also lose leverage because of Shanahan? After TD was gone it seemed like Shanny was still cranking out 1,000 yard backs. Mike Anderson, Olandis Gary, Tatum Bell, and Rueben Droughn all ran for that milestone after Boss Hog. It seemed like these guys were picked up off the street and moonwalked to 1,000 yards.

 

[stillin729]

Those backs were serviceable but TD dominated

 

[651akathepaul]

TD is not a HOF'er to me.

I'll tell you what...Let's put him in there, but under the stipulation that his entire offensive line is included with him.

Clinton Portis too.

 

[whywesteppin]

it's crazy that in 8 playoff games TD accomplished more than what most RBs would in a whole season. or if he kept that pace he would have 2280 years in 16 games. :x

 

[sb]

Haven't forgotten about this game.

Franc - see you in Ohio

Shaun > TD

lulz

this.

lulz. because mark schlereth, tom nalen, brian habbib, dan niel, tony jones, harry swayne and matt lepsis are already in the hof. zimmerman made the hof but was only in denver for 2 of TDs seasons. and those other backs that rushed for 1k were serviceable backs. denver didnt go anywhere with them but missing the playoffs or getting washed in the first round of the playoffs.

side note, TDs 2k season > APs 2k season.

@dwatkinsNBC5: Trouble finds Manziel again. Early this morning FW Police were called to get information about a dispute between he and his GF. No arrests.

Bandziel should just come home to Jerrah already...

 

[stillin729]

if I was an NFL team there would be no point to sign Manziel, he's a douche bum and won't ever amount to anything and he seems to be ok with that

 

[buc em]

the real question is if dude be hitting the fireball and chugging beers like the BROSKI

This level of bro is once in a lifetime by a pro athlete of that caliber

Kelce can gain some ground depending on how his dating show goes. He's certainly showing All-Pro bro potential though

 

[whywesteppin]

it's all-bro potential. get it right.

 

[651akathepaul]

side note, TDs 2k season > APs 2k season.

Whatever makes you feel better, man.

 

[rolaholic]

Yea AP literally carried a squad that had NO business sniffing the playoffs into the postseason on his back

 

[stillin729]

what are you trying to say about Christian Ponder?

 

[DadNboujee]

if I was an NFL team there would be no point to sign Manziel, he's a douche bum and won't ever amount to anything and he seems to be ok with that

Smh and all JaWalrus Ruffles did was get paid & sip some lean

 

[DadNboujee]

# of years played will play a big factor in getting into the HOF. That's why Patrick Willis will never get in.

@JJWATT: Also appreciate all the "nurses" offering to help rehab my groin surgeries. Didn't realize there were so many qualified pros out there! Haha
