Spinoff: Who has a better shot at the HOF? P. Holmes or T. Davis

Taco John · 06-05-2006, 11:12 PM

I already know the escape route, and I'm blocking the door... I already know that neither will likely make the HOF. The question is, "which has the best shot at it?"

Priest doesn't have the hardware...yet.

Holmes has the hardware. Holmes has a SB ring.

Tough call all around though. Both SB winners, that started for their team.

I say TD though. 2 SB's, NFL MVP, SB MVP, 2 time Off PoY, most consecutive 100yd rushing games in postseason, 2000yd season. Looks pretty much like a lock to me.

Backup RB's that have a ring are very comparable to ones that rush for 2000 yds in a season and carry their team to a SB.

No way Priest gets in before TD. TD has the rings. To the HOF committee, that's pure gold. I don't see Derrick Thomas in there as a first ballot, and there's not a doubt in my mind it is because of the lack of hardware. Combine DT with a Superbowl ring, and he's in right now.)

Also, the 2,000 yard season is like the holy grail of RBs everywhere. To get that in the NFL is a much greater feat than even breaking the all time TD record... Why this is this way is beyond me.

Who's my personal favorite? Priest, but he doesn't stand a chance in comparison unfortunately.

Moooo

Homles was the starting RB for the Ravens in the 2000 SB.

I'm not saying Priest gets in. I said earlier I think it would be TD.

Holmes does have a very good record. No way in hell he is first ballot, or even 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

-0

Priest ran for 8 yds and had 4 recieving in that SB. Jamal ran for 102 and a TD. Just guesing, but Id say Priest didnt have that large of a role in that game.

Terrell Davis. He was so good that he drug Elway's choking ass to two SB titles. Still don't think he had the longevity to be inducted though. We'll see.

Neither has played long enough. So neither will make it.

**Dunit35** · 06-05-2006, 11:17 PM

If TD played longer and stustained it then I would pick him. He did save John Elways super bowl career.

**Rausch** · 06-05-2006, 11:18 PM

Holmes was the better HB but TD accomplished more.

TD get's in before Holmes...

As sad as it is. I would say that TD is the better RB than Holmes. But also, I'm drunk as shit right now so what do I know right? TD accomplished more and the only thing Holmes has going for him is the TD record that Shaun Alexander broke last season. Even if we were to win the Super Bowl this season Holmes is gonna be a backup RB, meaning that his ring here really isnt gonna be a consideration in the HOF voting. I'm not trying to downplay Holmes on this next subject Im gonna say here, but any decent RB would run great behind our Oline, period, it's just that good of a line (when healthy) that alot of RB's in this league would flourish under it.

That's cool with me.

I'd sob like a sissy if we won a ring this year and Holmes became the new Bettis...
