People consider Corey Dillon a fringe HoF'er and he played on horrible teams. No one is considering James Brooks for the HoF and he was on really good teams.
The pass catching thing is a red herring. AP and Jim Brown had very similar receiving numbers to Dillon. A HB's first job is to rush the ball and in that department Dillion is heads and shoulders above Brooks. Brooks never even had more than 221 carries in a season, you can't be the best HB ever when you never had more than 300 carries in a season and only went over 200 twice.
I dont take anything Lance says seriously. The guy is a clown show.
That being said, I dont take anything Rapein says seriously on this matter, either. He was barely even alive when Brooks played and was like 10 years old when Dillion played. How can he honestly sit here and compare them when he didnt even see/remember them play.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
