I totally agree, and the guy got better with age. Hell why did he retire he was killing it? Yep his combined yards were outstanding now add his average per carry a gaudy 4.7.

Th HOF? No he is still not in but should be. He did get better with age but he bailed on the Giants and retired the season before the beat the Pats the first time
