Warrick Dunn possible hall of famer???

[Cowell]

I think he might have meant 9 total in a season.

As I said before Warrick Dunn really hasn't been a guy that makes the highlight reel all to often. He doesen't make a big splash like a lot of other players. And I was switching between the San Diego game and the Atlanta game and LT is either really close or has the 10,000 yard mark already. Look how fast LT made that mark and look how much time it took Warrick Dunn to get it. Dunn only has 5 1,000 yard seasons out of 10 years in the NFL.

He is a consistent player and a game breaker at one time with TB.
Not a HOF'er yet, but if he can play a few more years, why not.

Also, If you are one of the people that believe guys like michael irvin shouldnt be in the HOF because of his off the field problems, then Dunn is a first ballot hall of famer for what he has done. He is an better person than he is a football player.

Retire today, and no he's not a HOFer. However, if he can put in 4-5 more years, he could quite well be a HOFer.

However, he pretty much got screwed Touchdown wise in both places he's been. In Tampa, they gave the ball to Mike Alstott in goal line situations. And while he's scored more for the Falcons, he's had to content with Michael Vick, TJ Duckett and Jerious Norwood for TDs.

He's approaching 14,000 total yards in 10+ seasons. He's a workhorse when the teams he plays on let him carry the ball. It'll all depend on how he's used from here on out.

SO if he gets 12000 yards for his career, is a hall of famer?

Actually he had 9 tds in a season 3 times, 2000, 2002, and 2004.

i meant as in a single season...u love being difficult dont you :cheeky-sm

he has never had more than 9 touchdowns in a single season

Dunn is a baller and he has been doing it with other people sharing the workload (Alstott in Tampa and Vick and company in Atlanta). He averages 4.1 per a rush and has 46 TDs...not exactly impressive numbers.

People have often compared him to Berry Sanders but he is no Berry Sanders. To Dunns credit he does have more receptions, receiving yards and receptions for TDs than Sanders. Plus he has reached 10K with 15 carries per game where as Sanders consistently got 20 carries per game.

In conclusion he is not HOF material IMO because that award is reserved for the top 10 percentile of players and he most certainly isn't in that bracket. Top 20 percentile? Perhaps.

Hall of Fame person, yes.. Hall of Fame player, no..

Sometimes yes.

That is true, but 9 tds in a season 3 times is nothing to sneeze at.

I would laugh at those people. Sanders is arguably the best ever, Dunn is no where even close. I won't bother bringing out stats cause it's like comparing Brett Favre to Jason Campbell.
