I love Fred Taylor but exactly why should he be in HOF? He has no First Team All Pros or Super Bowls, he never led the league in any stat at all, except one year he led in yards per game. Not yards, TD, yards per rush, nothing. Imo, you should have a credible case to be the best in your position for at least one year to get into the hall. He was good, but never the best.
Same reason why Frank Gore shouldn’t make it in my opinion, Frank has more of a case because of his longevity playing one of the most physically demanding positions in the game. I can see arguments against him, but I think having the record for most games played as an RB is HOF worthy. Also having exactly 16000 rushing yards is pretty cool

Super Bowls are team victories and the Pro Bowl is voted on by fans, putting all small market teams at a major disadvantage. He lost pro bowl and all pro appearances to Corey Dillon and Eddie George. I don't think anyone, today, thinks Corey Dillon and Eddie George were better than Fred.

Tell me you didn't see him play without telling me you didn't see him play. The rest of your shtick now makes sense. Congrats, you just played yourself.
