If they put Lynch in the HOF then Taylor should make it

Quote:That low YPC is due to a few things.


1)The amount of times he was used as a goal line back, for instance in 2004 in a game he carried the ball 5 times for a total of 1 yard with 0.2 YPC but also scored 3TDs.


2) The style he ran with was obviously not that of a home run threat,he was used to grind down teams and also used to put games away in the 4th quarter.


3)His last few years he was used almost exclusively. as a short yardage back.
So Barry never got goal line carries? Walter? Faulk or LT? That's just an excuse. Other players saw a decline in their YPC too but look at his YPC during his "Prime" years. Well under 4 from 98-00. Then had one season over 4 and then never again.

 

How many running backs would you take over Bettis? Think about it for second. There are a TON of RBs you would take over him. 

 

He got into the HOF because of the team he played for, his personality and his rushing yards which are based off a massive amount of carries.
