[QUOTE="AutoPoster 3000, post: 1192398, member: 17214"] HOF voters don't really care about all-purpose yards. If they did, Tiki Barber and Warrick Dunn would be serious HOF candidates. They're not. A HOF finalist is more in vein of a Terrell Davis: more career TDs than Forte, more pro bowls, two rings, SB MVP, NFL NVP, 3 season rushing titles, 2000 yard rushing season ... and he did all that in basically four healthy years. Unfortunately, being the league's most productive safety valve dump-off target for a decade doesn't get you the hardware for your trophy case to move the needle in the HOF competition. Also, Forte is not adding huge numbers from this point forward. He has a window to go somewhere and be a very important role player/part of a committee, but that gets him maybe 10-12 touches a game. The league is rapidly moving away from workhorse, 3-down backs, especially ones north of 30. It remains to be seen if even Adrian Peterson can pull that off, and he's the most dominate RB of this generation by a wide margin. [/QUOTE]
