    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.

    Zombo

    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.

    Here is the list of guys that ran for 2000 yards in the NFL and helped their team win a Super Bowl:

    Terrell Davis.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Since I went to see him live again last night- What's your opinion of Lindsey Buckingham? MHO- under rated. (not in anyone's top 10, but very good) Fer sure, The Mac had some of the best songwriting talent short of the Beatles and maybe the Stones.

    You got that right- forgot where I saw a guy do a speed demon demo on YouTube. And me and Ghoolie have been down the road discussing this youngster when she was 16. If you like, skip to the 2 minute mark and watch a perfect cover of Van Halen's Eruption.

    As Tom pointed out- it doesn't matter if you can play anything, the guys raking in the big bucks are the great songwriters. John Fogarty is a so-so guitar player- but man, can he write songs. 🙂

    Another nice player. He was melodic and his junk always embellished songs. I wouldn't call him a technically masterfull player, but his sense of composition and arrangement was very very good. Elliot Easton was another very good musical guitarist.

    Yes, he is. He was inducted Saturday (I assuming you mean Terrelle Davis). You are either pregnant or you're not. He is pregnant.

    (whether you believe it is warranted is another matter.....but in the opinion of those who count...it was warranted)

    ... I saw a guy do a speed demon demo on YouTube.

    Year ago I stumbled into a Houston club by happenstance and caught The Amazing Royal Crowns, a punk-rockabilly band. Not my thing, but they had a guitarist who was the fastest I'd ever seen... and he was clean to boot. Dude was called "The Colonel". Per google his name is Johnny Maguire. Curious whether any of you aficionados have heard of him...

    One I'm listening to now is Austin's most recent bluesman... Gary Clark, Jr.

    Lets face it...TD was a good player but not a great player. Ya he played on some good teams and had an amazing season but he doesn't deserve the gold jacket.

    After years of having other HOFers advocate for his induction he finally gets in. He does nothing but cut down players and teams so..pay backs a bitch.

    Even with a good team around you, you don't get to 2000 yards in a season being a good but not great player.

    Writing great songs is one thing and being a guitar master is another. Some people think "like a rolling Stone" is the greatest rock song. Certainly rolling Stone magazine named it as such and Dylan made his career on great songs...but they're intermediate guitar parts at best. Same with "American pie" and countless other great songs. Guitar virtuosity is not necessarily always appreciated. For instance I find Steve vai mostly unlistenable.

    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.

    If one of you mods aren't busy tonight maybe you can make a new thread and move them all there? 😕

    That would be nice.
