TC’s reluctance to give him the rock in the red zone may hold him back. 
Talent wise he’s as deserving as running backs can be. 

Jimmy , I’d have to review the numbers a bit.

If you look at Jimmy's numbers for all WR pre-2006 and he basically has the same "flaws" as Fred. Too few TD's. Didn't lead the league in yards/TD in any one year, and too few Pro-bowls/All-Pros. Only additional issue is the off-field stuff.

The thing that annoys me so much is how often analysts and voters use the line "how this player affect the history of football" or "can we tell the story of football without him" because that is so ridiculous.
