Lance 228 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 AB is having a pretty good year...he "should" move in to the top 150 all time on the rushing leader list this week. Considering he might pass Gale Sayers this year if he stays healthy....quite an accomplishment. Other locals on the list...the Jones brothers....Thomas Jones is at #23 all time and Julius Jones is at #126. Thomas ended up doing really well...if he had played one more year he would have easily been in the top 20 all time. Was just looking over the list and thought it was interesting where the locals were.

legend11 32 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Huh, thanks for the post Lance. I would have never considered looking at such a list if you didn't bring it to our attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I was looking at Adrian Peterson and checking out how much he's screwed himself on the chase for record...and looked up some locals. It's a pretty interesting list...Steve Young and Randall Cunningham racked up some yards...I thought Gale Sayers would have been higher up than he is for a HOF'er.

Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 In the first quarter of todays game, Bradshaw had his 1,000th career rush in the NFL. Impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 And bradshaw is again outdoing trent richardson. The colts need to try to get bradshaw some more touches. seems like they are trying to save him for when they really need him...he's looking great so far this year...that fumble at the end was a strip, it happens...first one he's had in a few years.

Lance 228 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Bradshaw moved up to #145 on the all time list by the way...needs 115 yards to move in the top 140 and pass Marion Barber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Bradshaw is up to #139 now...needs roughly 170 yards to crack the top 120. Was looking at the list again and it's too bad Thomas Jones couldn't get another season or two in, he could have easily made the top 15.

RCITYHOO 110 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 "Thomas Jones, most under rated NFL player ever?" I like T.J. as well but not quite that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Then who was the most under rated ever? I mean the guy is in the top 25 in rushing yards and was on 5 teams. Kept moving from team to team and producing after he had been written off. I not saying hes a HOF player but imo he was one of, if not the most under rated.

Lance 228 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 under rated, yes...how can he not be "one of" because you never hear anything about him...he just went out and did his job, and got results...was never really a houshold name maybe other than a year or so with the Chiefs where he got some recognition. You look at the thousands of people who have played in the NFL and to be in the top 25 of anything is a pretty good accomplishment. Link to the list...they update it every week by Wed. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rush_yds_career.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Lance, Sayers yardage totals are low, I saw a special on NFL network on him and they said he was a HOF'er because of what he did in such a short time. Deacon Jones said I don't care how many yards he had he was the best I ever saw. They interviewed several folks who played the game where he had 5 or 6 td's against SF and they all said the field was so slick they could hardly stand and Gayle was cutting on a dime and they couldn't even stop to pursue him. Bad knees kept him from having 15,000yds. As Don Shula said, forget the stats, he passed the eye test, without the knee injuries who knows how many yards he would've gotten. He had nearly 5,000yds in essentially 5 years he only played 2 games each of his last 2 years and they played 4 fewer games a year than they do now. He averaged 5yds a carry for his career, only Jamaal Charles 5.5, Jim Brown 5.2, and Barry Sanders 5.0 have ever equaled that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 well of course, Sayers is a Hall of Famer...I was just saying it's pretty cool that AB might actually pass him on the list... (in another 120 or so yards) The whole list is pretty interesting to look at, lots of QB's on there that are higher than you might think....etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I think it's unfortunate that a guy like Gale Sayers is a Hall of Famer based on what he could/should have been and guys like Bo Jackson and Terrell Davis aren't. I'm in no way saying Sayers is not worthy, just that the other two should be as well. Terrell Davis did more in the four season between 1995 and 1998 than other so called greats did in twice that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance 228 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 that Pic of Bradshaw's last game...was it played against Grundy? also...sucks he was injured, he was having a great year. I hope it's not the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcotton 40 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 If im not mistaken, that was when Gretna came there? I know bradshaw and I were class of '04 and he beat me in the regional championship our senior year. so that must have been the state semi game.

I thought 04 is the year we lost to Va High 6-0 at Grundy? I was thinking it was 02 when Grundy beat them at Graham in the snow then lost at Bedford the next week.

I was thinking it was 02 when Grundy beat them at Graham in the snow then lost at Bedford the next week. Graham lost in '02 to Grundy in the R4D3 title game at Mitchell (yep, 2-3 inches of standing snow on the field). Graham lost in '03 to Gretna in the D3 semifinals at Mitchell (Bradshaw's last year). 2004 was the Grundy/Virginia High coup. Grundy was by far the best team in R4D3 that year, and it led to a very, very mediocre Tazewell team getting downright slaughtered in the 2004 D3 semifinals.

Grundy would have gotten slaughtered that year too. Gretna was absolutely loaded. Returned almost everyone from the previous year that beat Graham. If it weren't for the Gmen moving Bradshaw to wideout and him being a one man show, that score would have been embarassing too. Boy that was fun to watch though, Bradshaw showed just how good he really was that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
