He's good, but he has only 6600 yards in 84 games. He needs another 10,000 yards to get into the conversation. One good hit on the knee and he'll be done as an elite back, so it's unlikely he avoids it for long enough.

 6 or 7 years?  What he has done in his short career has surpassed every RB but Jim Brown.  And in the last 41 games, he has BEEN BETTER than Jim Brown's best 41 game stretch.  As a grey beard, I do not think you know what you are saying or seeing.  Henry is on a historic run.  Every player is one injury away from the end.  We do not judge what may happen.  Judge what he is doing in a historical context.  Right now Henry and Brown are the ONLY RB ever to do what they are doing.  Brown played on great Cleveland teams.  Henry's Tacks are average and his OL sucks.
You know you're dealing with a belief system when you get an emotional response.
