If you check the stats, CD beats Bettis in nearly every category that isn't bulk career rush yards...and he has a ring. He should be in.
The main problem I have with the HOF is their moving goalposts. For most players, there seems to be a yardage number you have to clear. It seems to be around 14,000 yards for both WR and RB.
That said, they don't hold every player to that standard...and frankly, I think that's a terrible metric to judge greatness. Frank Gore has shattered that number due to his amazing longevity, but does his career really scream HOF?
Is Gore better than Dillon in their primes?

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
