Tiki Quietly.....

Recommended Posts

.....went over 2,100 yards from scrimmage this year. TDs were obviously way down, but three straight 2,000 yard seasons is really impressive. :thumbsup:

......cemented his place as a hall of famer....

 

 

 

 

or at least a strong candidate....

 

 

he played in NJ...was media friendly and had big games when the team needed one....

 

 

 

(which is why the tiki over 95 yd rushing bet was such a gift)......

"Quietly"?

 

 

He's been one of the most talked about guys in football this season.

...gave one last jab to fantasy owners across the world. He knew that most leagues ended in week 16, so he waited until week 17 to have one of those games that made him a first round pick

Exactly....he can go fock himself. The guy did nothing all year in terms of TDs and now he decides to show up when no FF'ers care anymore

 

:thumbsdown:

4 times in career over 2,000 yds from scrimmage.......

Ties Marshall Faulk for most of all time.

Both are hall of famers, but well see, time will tell

While he will most likely have a playoff game, not many backs have a three TD 200+ yard game in their last reg. season game before retirement...whether he gets into the HoF or not, he's going out at the top of his game. :dunno:

My fantasy superbowl is week 17, and he is on my team. I survived his shortcomings all year (just barely) by picking up players off of the waiver wire. Hopefully his 34 points that he gave me will be enough to give me the win! Not sold just yet though.

Great regular season finish for a great back, and man. He did cause his FF owners many nightmares this season though. That should be blamed on the offensive decisions the team made.

Shoe-in for the HOF? I like Tiki Barber a lot but I'm not sure these are HOF-worthy numbers. Tiki doesn't have a ring and he didn't put up huge TD numbers. If he stuck around for another 2-3 solid years I'd certainly consider him a HOFer but right now I think he's on the bubble.

Tiki Barber IS a hall of famer because:

 

10th All-Time Yards from Scrimmage

Career 4.7 Yards per attempt - only Barry and Jim Brown have higher.

Tiki had 5 200 yard games, only OJ has more.

 

and most importantly:

 

Tiki Barber has racked up just under 14,000 yards in the past 7 seasons. That's the greatest 7 year stretch EVER.

he is NOT a hall of famer.

 

:dunno:

 

Keep telling yourself that. In five years, when he's enshrined, I'll allow you to come back and apologize.

Thurman Thomas has better credentials. Until Thurman gets in, I don't see how Tiki can.

 

"Quietly"?

He's been one of the most talked about guys in football this season.

 

FF-wise, it's been a bit of a down year compared to the last two. Some thus may not have realized just how good his yardage totals were......

Joe Perry (4.8) and Gale Sayers (5.0)

 

Tiki churned out alot of yards, but there really is nothing special about his career to this point. If you let him in, then you have let a whole bunch of others in just based on yardage.
