    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.

    I think Gayle Sayers is the football Koufax
    Or Sanders. Ten years, retires at the top, possibly the greatest to ever play rb.

    His legacy may be determined by what the Hawks are able (or not able) to do without him in the next couple of years.

    These two runs are as dominant as anything Koufax ever did, so to call the comparison fucking stupid is fucking stupid

    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.

    He fits in well with that next group of guys that were almost good enough, but not quite hofs.
