Are you saying that if Sayers had the same impact now as he did then, meaning he was as dominant against current talent as he was back then, he wouldn't be inducted because only 68 games? I don't believe he would but I'm more than available to be wrong. I thought well how bout Earl Campbell??.. yea he had an 8 year career but only 5 of those where 1K yrd plus years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see if the bar really has been raised in 2025 when Eli Manning will be eligible. Personally i don't think he is a HOF caliber QB but thanks to his last name Spags D shutting down Brady and that offense in 2007 and not a strong HOF class i think he will get in. But will Eli get in first ballot? Not so sure but he is a Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priest had some really good years. But the year he lead the league in rushing (1555) ranks below his contemporaries.

azchief21 5,278 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 When you think of Mahomes contemporaries.......Allen, Jackson, Herbert, etc. Mahomes blows them away. I'll repeat 2 SB appearances, a SB win, 5000 & 50, 4 consecutive AFCCGs, League MVP, SB MVP. 1st to 20,000 yds, blah, blah blah. These are stats AND big wins. Then there are left handed passes, no look passes, WASP, the run against TEN, the :13 win vs BUFF, 24 point deficit vs HOU and on and on. He's done shit no other QB can or has done.Teams are drafting to try to neutralize him. Loses one of the best WRs in the league and wins to OP of the week twice already. But let's wait a couple of seasons until we can be certain he's HOF. GTF Outta heah you ungrateful bastards. DieHard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,207 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 This whole thread is pointless IMHO. Mahomes isn't going anywhere for a number of years. If he got a career ending injury, he would be in like Sayers. Otherwise, he will rack up wins and yardage to put him among the elite. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,219 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Mahomes will start passing HOF QBs in total career passing yards this year.

azchief21 5,278 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 From Field Yates on Twitter: Following last night’s win, the Chiefs are now 12-9 (.571) with Patrick Mahomes as their starting QB when they have faced a 10+ point deficit since the start of 2018. During that same stretch, all other QBs are 156-873 (.152) when trailing by 10+ points. No lead is safe vs. KC. oldtimer and DieHard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've shied away from this subject, but have thought about it. Didn't really want to think about something happening to Mahomes were this question would even come up. I'm still amazed that he's actually a Chief. After all these seasons, we not only got an elite QB, but one on a whole other level. This dude actually got me back into football. He most-likely won't surpass Brady in SB wins (not sure anyone will) but it's exciting going into every season knowing we have a chance. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL has too much parity now and Andy won't cheat his way to wins like BB. The more I think about this the more I am a yes that Pat is HOF QB already. What he's done so far is just incomparable to other players. I'm not sure there is a parallel in sports. qnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
