It's the Hall of FAME, not the Hall of EXCELLENCE.

Right. They stopped making it the very best players but now it's every really good player who put up big statistics. What ever happened with your co-worker?

Bettis was a "compiler", he was never cosidered one of the top 3 backs in the league at anytime during his career.Plus he was not a threat at all in the passing game.
He will probably get in though due to the fact that he has always been good at promoting himself and the media seems to like the jolly fat guy.

i agree that he will make the hall but you saying he is 3rd all time in history with rushing attempts, how is that such a positive? Thats like saying in the nba, Allen Iverson shot 30 shots a game for his career, has a million shot attempts lol. Not always a good thing.....

He was pretty durable, ill give him that but having the 3rd most rushing attempts will lead to a lot of total yards.. Being a durable back shouldnt always make for a hall of fame career. He was very good but great? i dunno. Tough call there.

KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU PLAY A LONG TIME, YOUR ATTEMPTS WILL PILE UP...
Actually, I was wrong with Bettis being 3rd in attempts all-time. He was 4th.
Emmit Smith-4,409
Walter Payton-3,838
Curtis Martin-3,518
Jerome Bettis-3,479
Ladanian Tomlinson-3,174
Barry Sanders-3,062
Edgerrin James-3,028

I know I'm a homer, but Bettis deserves to be in and saying otherwise I think is absurd. If you've seen him run people over like they were high school kids you know what I mean. He was one of the best big backs of all time, and his numbers prove that.

No offense, but that's ridiculous.
