No need to doubt. If he crosses 10000 yards I would say he's about a lock.

1 pro bowl, no ring, only broken 10 tds twice in his career, 64 td's (he should get plenty more though) i just dont see HOF status, a good running back? yes, a GREAT leader? yes no doubt. a HoF'er..... i just dont see itQuote:

You asked for a question and you got an answer. I'm sorry you thought your question was unanswerable. If TJ retires tomorrow, he's not a HOFer. If he gets to 10,000 yards theres a pretty good possibility he breaks alot of those stats that you just listed for Riggins too.
i didnt think it was unanswerable, i knew for a fact riggins didnt have it but dear god the things he did during his time were unbelievable. riggins also has almost 13500 yards, i dont see jones getting 1000 yards in 4 more seasons. its not that he CANT do it, its that no team he has been with or will be with will let him do it.Quote:

He is in a losing battle. Thing about it is though, his whole situation in his career is what has kept up his longevity, not playing much early on has saved his body unlike most RB's
Although only LT has been a more productive back combined in the past 4 years. Curtis Martin has been in the same boat IMO, but he will get there next year too.
