That might not be advisable.

If you're going to call out some RB who ought not be wearing a gold jacket, I'd compare him more to guys like Curtis Martin, Frank Gore - stats for sure, but never the kind of guy where you had to watch them to see what they were doing from week to week, or even so dominant that you had to gameplan against them or the game was all but lost. Martin's in, and Gore certainly will be in consideration, and that will be Fred's best argument.

Allen on the other hand has a TON of accolades that Fred can't touch - SB MVP, NFL MVP, 3rd all time in rush TD, rushing titles, 16 straight seasons with a TD - that's stuff of legend. He was dominant in his day. Fred absolutely should get a nod. But saying "If Marcus is in, so should Fred" is probably not going to be the convincing argument that wins his case.
