Naw, running his stars into the ground was all he was good at! Just look at LT.

Do you mean Terrell Davis?

God. 98 was a bad year for Davis, even though he got monster playing time and great stats.

Davis literally got run into the ground because Elway finally got a running game worth a damn, and actually made Elway a threat down the field.

In the 98 season, Davis had almost 400 carries for a little over 2000 yards. Then dropped off the face of the planet because of an injury.

Could have been in the Hall of Fame, but is going to fall short due to how Denver treated him in the 98 season.

Terrell Davis is already in the hall of fame

Then my bad, I'm mistaken. I used to follow football back in that Era, as a teenager, and Terrell Davis was my RB, but haven't really followed much since 02 as I grew out of highschool. I couldn't tell you who got inducted in the last 20 years. Figured that he would have fallen just sort of GOAT status. Glad, I'm completely wrong.

Haha no you were spot on for everything else, just not his HOF status.

How could that one be on Shanahan when he never coached him?

u/Mr_sMoKe_A_lOt Apr 23 '21

Yea, if you scroll up you'll see what's goin on here

u/Roadhouse_Swayze Apr 23 '21

u/Mr_sMoKe_A_lOt Apr 23 '21

i think that's an overrated narrative in general. the shelf life of an NFL career is pretty short. if you're having a good run, milk every ounce out of it (to an extent). a good RB who is having a career year should absolutely take advantage of every carry they can. bc their not going to be in their prime years very long regardless.

He, lt carried those bad charger teams on his back for tears before their superbowl window opened, and when it did, he couldn't do much.
