    Koufax is a HOF
    Yes, I know
    I agree, and like, your Koufax comp. Why, then, is Beast not a HOF?
    Koufax was a 7 time all-star, 4 time WS champ, a league MVP, and a 3 time Cy Young award winner back when there was only 1 Cy Young winner for all of MLB. In those 3 years, he led all of MLB in wins, strikeouts and ERA.

    Lynch has been a 5 time pro bowler, 1st team All-Pro once, 2nd team All-Pro once and 1 time NFL champ. Never has he led the NFL in rushing yards in a season.

    Comparing the 2 is FS. Lynch was one hell of a RB. Koufax was flat out dominant.
    These two runs are as dominant as anything Koufax ever did, so to call the comparison fucking stupid is fucking stupid

    Put athletes in the HOF based on a couple of runs? You are smarter than that.

    It's pretty clear your love for the hawks has taken over any sense of pragmatism. 1 time in his career was he voted as one of the best 2 RBs in the NFL, with 1 SB title. And in the year he was voted all-pro, he was 3rd in the NFL in rushing. Koufax was the best pitcher in the MLB for 3 years (no voting required), and won 4 WS. He led the MLB in ERA 5 years in a row.

    Now if Lynch led the NFL in rushing or YPC 5 years in a row, I'd agree with you. But he didn't. Not even close.

    Apples and oranges.

    Look at the 12's 12'vin on this thread.

    Considering that the Hawks offense was at an all-time efficiency w/o him THIS YEAR should give you the answer now. Very good back. As powerful as there was. But not enough consistency and was a pain in the ass off of the field.

    I think Gayle Sayers is the football Koufax
    Or Sanders. Ten years, retires at the top, possibly the greatest to ever play rb.
    Yeah but Sanders retired somewhat voluntarily (like Lynch). Koufax retired because of his health, which is more comparable to Sayers to me. Koufax is the youngest ever inductee into the baseball HOF, Sayers is the youngest ever inductee into the NFL HOF. But I definitely agree Sanders > Sayers. Either way, Lynch isn't at that level. Sanders, Sayers and Koufax were all surefire hall of famers. Lynch is a guy who may or may not get in.

    MIke Cameron hit 4 HR's in a game and sent the 5th one to the warning track. I missed his bust on my last trip to Cooperstown.

    I like to call Redskins fans 12's, that's what I like to do.

    Lynch was probably too underwhelming in Buffalo to make the Hall of Fame. He was decent, but didn't stand out. It wasn't until 2011 that his career really started taking off.

    Sorry for the BleacherReport article/video, but his teammates on the Seahawks expect him to have a change of heart. I think he will play again too.

    It's almost too bad, his retirement tweet was the greatest retirement ever. I want to see him play again, but still.
