So is Chris Johnson a HOFer?
Good question... certainly was building a resume his first 6 years. And he surprised when he stepped into his more recent AZ opportunity. If he gets another shot and cashes it...
What does it take in this modern, passing era for a RB to make the Hall? Who are the no-brainers of today not named AP?

The guy was a very good back. Great? You can debate that one until your balls fall off. I am looking forward to football. I really couldn't care less aboud this HOF shit. Some players belong, some are iffy, some don't belong. C'mon guys, you know this shit is largely political and a lot of times a matter of "who you know" or a matter of does the story behind the guy enhance the NFL patting themselves on the back.
I will say this, and as much as it irritates the purist fan, A SB ring, SB MVP, SB accolades will, without fail propel a player far above better players who never got those accolades and trophies.
Music is the same way. Clapton, a great songwriter, performer and singer, is at best, a modest and very average guitar player. Yet, I guarantee you a bunch of people (mostly with no musical training) are going to jump in and say what a great guitarist he is. But he isn't. His shit is simple. Doesn't matter, he had a boost from the very beginning because of who he played with and when he played. Again, HOF performer, songwriter? No debate.
Guitar wizard? Fuck, man, he can't play. Steve Lukather? Now THAT is a bad, bad motherfucker. Can play better than Clapton using his nutsack.........but it doesn't matter. Some jackoffs believe the hype.
Terrell Davis? If he played the guitar he would be Clapton or BB King.
Django, Atkins, Tedesco, Knoppfler, Jerry Reed, Hellecasters, Vai, Satriani, Van Halen, Joe Pass, Pizzarelli, Travis....NOW you are talking guitar.
What do you think about the Late Alvin Lee of "Ten Years After"??

He was a nice player. Very nice player.Under-heralded. He played some tasteful things.
Regarding Clapton. I never said he sucked, he just isn't that good. Overall, very talented. He couldn't make a living as a studio guitar player. That's the point. He would shit his pants as a studio player.

Talking guitar players, I saw Brian Setzer last night. Freakin dude brings it... Had no idea how good he is!?!?!?!?!?
Like your list... I'd add Hendrix.

Setzer is indeed good. Very versitile. Always liked the guy.

I grew up coping the Chester and Lester stuff. Two great players. Les was a bit too abstractly jazz oriented for my taste.

Terrelle Davis is a HOF running back because he is being inducted today into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
So, I guess that answers that question.
Its like being pregnant. You either are or you aren't. Davis is.....by definition.

Id say there are not any "no brainers"...outside of AP.....and I think the passing era has a LOT to do with that. Simply not the opportunities there used to be for a back to carry a team and rack up huge #'s.....
Some potential HOFers playing now?.....Lynch, Elliot, Bell & Gore,

First football, then guitar. That SB crap is why all them thar Steelers are in the HOF. I freaking guarantee you if Clay Matthews had played in Shitsburgh- he'd have been in- long ago.
And regarding guitar you forgot my left handed Idol Tom. Jimi H. Sloppy? Sure. Incredible reach, lightning fast, master of electronic shit. No one even attempted to cover his stuff in public until Stevie Ray Vaughn came along.
Then you never heard of Frank Marino.. who covered Hendrix long before Stevie Ray did.
Mahogany Rush - Strange Universe one of my all time favorites.Then you never heard of Frank Marino.. who covered Hendrix long before Stevie Ray did.

busting the shit outta of that SG

Actually until his first knee injury he averaged 1900 yds per year and is the Broncos all-time leading rusher. Pro bowl 3 of those 4 seasons. Injuries kept him from being one of the best ever in what amounted to a 4 year career. Not bad for a 6th rounder.

Right.....dude took the league by storm....If Gayle Sayers gets in, then TD should get in too.....
So...is Chris Johnson HOF material? Same difference other than the ring but minus the o line.
Davis is 3rd....all-time.....in yards per game played......3rd.....
Jim Brown = 104 ypg
Barry Sanders = 99.8 ypg
Terrell Davis = 97.5 ypg.......
Thats the best of the best, while on the field......
Chris Johnson isnt 4th...or 10th....or 20th ftm......75 ypg......= not the same....

For a two or or three year period he was the Most Valuable running back I have ever seen.

Agree 100%......6500 yds in his first 4 years.....with each year getting better.....thats a whole career for some good backs....
Someone here said he had "a" good year?.....really?....."a" good year?
yr 1) 1117
yr 2) 1538
yr 3) 1750
yr 4) 2008
looks like 4 good years to me....
Anyone that is only 1 step behind Barry Sanders and Jim Brown gets my HOF vote for sure.....

Clapton plays a very good guitar and named Prince as the Greatest guitar player he has ever seen.

Yep on Davis and I'm also putting in my vote for Stevie Ray who operated out of Asstin, Tx. 2015 R&R HOF inductee.

The one and only.

There's guys on YouTube right now that nobody has ever heard of that make the guitar greats of yesteryear look like rank Amateurs. Just like there were guys in their own time that no one ever heard of that blew them out of the water. That's why I never bother with the "goat of guitar" discussions.
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. -

If there is "the ONE".. I'd put Allan Holdsworth at the top of the list.. The way he uses the whole tone scale is on another level of genius on the highest order.
