Last year TD was not even a semifinalist. This year though, he is. Other Broncos are Zimmerman and Gradishar.

That's really sad. Three great years............all he did was have a great year and two very good years.

Did anyone catch him on NFL Network last night, they asked him about Kolby Smith of the Chiefs getting 150 yds on the Raiders...
"Ah, it's just the system, man"
Think he gets a little tired hearing that? Such a bummer to see his career so short. He deserves to be in the hall.

Your not talking about TD. Right? He was way beyond one great and two very good. I don't have the specifics in front of me, but he was setting, or equaling the best backs to come before him in things like:
Most 100 yard games in firs 1, 2, 3 years
Most yards in first two, three years
Etc.
As I said, I don't have them in front of me, but there were a number of "To start a career" type records that he was either breaking, or on par with the best backs of all time.

Yeah, they should toss Gale Sayers, since TD outgained him in a similar number of career games. What a bum. They'll let just about ANYBODY in the HOF, huh?

He lead the AFC in rushing from '96-'98 and he's the only runningback to have career average 100 yard rushing in the playoffs.
RIP Little Buddy
I forgot about how he dominated in the playoffs. I think it is fair to say that there have been few, if any, RBs that produced as much as he did during those three pre-injury years. However, being great, but not having longevity, has typically been a HOF disqualifier.
Are you not entertained?

Did you mean, "Better to be thought a fool then to have opened your mouth and removed all doubt" ?

That is the way I always heard it.
Asked at what point would it be in the best interest of the team to trade Cutler, McDaniels answered: "Never." Nice to see your a man of your word Josh
Are you not entertained?
Either way, you get the point....

and in the playoffs never below 91 yards and 7 straight 100 yard games.
I may be biased but he is HOF worthy and someone less dominating over a long period like Jerome Bettis will get in and TD will struggle. Kinda sad

I think Bettis will deserve to go in, but without doubt so does TD.

Did anyone else notice that they upped the number of guys who can get in from 6 to 7? I have high hopes that this will help deal with the backlog of players who should be in already. That would mean several more Broncos in the future. Can't wait to see if it works out that way.
