HOF: Corey Dillon - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**UtidaBrar** · 12-23-2010, 10:17 PM

The Priest Holmes poll got me wanting to bring up potential HOFers every once in a while and put it to a vote.

11,241 yards rushing, 4.3 yards/attempt
1,913 yards receiving, 7.8 yards/catch
13,154 yards from scrimmage
82 rushing touchdowns
7 receiving touchdowns

Playoff highlight: ~300 yards rushing, 2 TDs in the 2004 playoffs, en route to a Superbowl victory.

4 time pro-bowler
7 seasons with over 1,000 yards
5 seasons with 10+ TDs scored

28 fumbles in 2,862 touches

So, is Corey Dillon a HOFer?

**estheticianI** · 12-23-2010, 10:19 PM

no.

**deackatera** · 12-23-2010, 10:20 PM

I'll add, Dillon is:

18th all-time in rushing attempts
17th all-time in rushing yards
16th all-time in rushing TDs
23rd all-time in rushing yards per game
30th all-time in rushing + receiving TDs
34th all-time in yards from scrimmage
20th all-time in total touches

**Nutpoode** · 12-23-2010, 10:22 PM

no.

Would you agree Curtis Martin is a definite HOFer?

**br`lorance** · 12-23-2010, 10:22 PM

no.

but, if they'll let michael irvin in they'll let anybody in.

**euylvaygdq** · 12-23-2010, 10:23 PM

Would you agree Curtis Martin is a definite HOFer?

probably. but he was the workhorse on some pretty good teams.

**bebeacc** · 12-23-2010, 10:24 PM

Lynn Swann. Once they lowered the bar for WR to the point where he got in, Irvin wasn't a big deal. Not at all.

**Seerseraxlils** · 12-23-2010, 10:26 PM

I'd say most of his stats are of the "best player on a bad team" category. And I don't consider that HOF quality material.

**littlePen** · 12-23-2010, 10:28 PM

probably. but he was the workhorse on some pretty good teams.

Dillon's numbers are only a few thousand yards off of Martin's numbers. I tend to think of Martin as a definite HOFer so I think Dillon at least warrants some consideration.

But I agree -- Dillon falls short, especially when you consider guys like Fred Taylor have already surpassed Dillon and active RBs (Portis, Thomas Jones) will probably surpass Dillon. I don't think Portis or Jones belong at this point.

**XarokLasa** · 12-23-2010, 10:44 PM

good player, not great.

**VeniHemealm** · 12-23-2010, 10:54 PM

Nope

**seawolferr** · 12-24-2010, 07:58 AM

After a few beers, my answer remains the same.

**hiedeemom** · 12-24-2010, 08:25 AM

Yes.

**nitivearchit** · 12-24-2010, 08:27 AM

Yes.

Seriously?

**Scukonahuy** · 12-25-2010, 09:54 PM

Nope.

**BrifsGefel** · 05-02-2011, 04:02 AM

Not worthy.
