it would be more accurate to compare those players' best four year stretches against terrell davis, honestly. also, that blocking scheme made guys far more than they really were--olandis gary and mike anderson say 'hey.'

Even if that is true, TD would probably have an even better shot at the HOF if he played 5 more years where he averaged 800-1000 yards a season. The HOF doesn't have to be about longterm accumulation of stats. TD was one of the best to ever do it from the moment he stepped onto the field.
If I asked you after Super Bowl 32 if you thought TD would be a HOF'er you would say yes, and you would probably say he would make it in on the first ballot. The dudes body gave up on him.
Four years of absolute dominance with even better playoff and Super Bowl performances should make TD a lock.
