Is Eddie George a Hall of Fame RB?

Dude,

My point was that stats aren't everything. Thomas had phenomenal stats but he went missing in the big games when his team needed him the most.

Eddie came straight out of the box & did exactly what it said on the label. He ran hard from day one & never quit. A very large part of our 90's run was down to Eddie George in the locker room as well as what he did on the field.

We should never have let Lorenzo Neal go,that hurt Eddie's production a lot. Remember the 03 Divisional game against the Ravens,Eddie carried the load,separated shoulder to boot. What he meant to the Titans is worth more than his stats show.

Thurman Thomas was a choker under pressure & I'd take Eddie George over him any day. The HOF should be about more than stats alone.

 

Childress..

You make a case for thomas not being there but eddie wasn't hall material. Eddie played great in many big games but most of his career he still was just a 4 yard a carry back and never a great pass receiver. A near hall guy but that's it.

I also don't buy the lorenzo neal point. If neal is that valuable then he should be the hall player not eddie. a hall of fame back doesn't require one particular fullback to make or break him. In 2000 even with neal, eddie had just 3.7 ypc. Eddie just wasn't quite good enough for long enough.

 

Eddie was a great back regardless of his YPC. He carried our offense for years despite playing against defenses with 8 and 9 men in the box trying to stop him specifically.

It was just after his toe surgery that he stank.

 

I know your right I 'd just like him to be there.

Now tell me that Ray Childress doesn't deserve to be there.)

 

I like eddie..
i've always admired his leadership, and the 128 consective starts which he gave us, but i really wouldn't consider Eddie George's stats HOF worthy..
If he had Corey dillon's yards, it would be a different story..

 

I really hate to say it, because Eddie was my all-time favorite football player (Titans or otherwise), but no I don't think that Eddie is a hall of fame running back.

 

Let me ask this question, is Ricky Watters a HOF running back?
He had more TDs, more yards and had over 4000 recieving yards (EG had 2200).
(Eddie had 68 total TDs for his career, Watters had 91)
Watters also had 3 TDs in a SB win for SF and holds the record for most TDs in a post season game (5). Watters also averaged over 100 total yards in every game he played.

Watters deserves it much more than Eddie IMO.

 

no

 

Great analysis there, bro.
