Alvin Kamara

If Kamara’s career has come to a close, has he done enough to be a pro football hall of famer?

Just from a numbers perspective that seems unlikely. While a good runner his career average is just over 800 yards a season. He's been correctly lauded as a receiver and bringing YFS into play helps by adding another 550 a year which brings his yards up to 68th place overall. Just to compare RB's with a good deal more that are not in the HOF are Tiki Barber, Steven Jackson, LeSean McCoy, Ricky Waters, etc.

He rattled off 5 straight PB's to start his career which is quite impressive. I just don't know if a RB with 7250y rushing in his career is headed for the Hall.

No. Having barely 7000 rushing yards ain't gonna cut it, even for a gadget runningback.

6 TD game was legendary though. Never will forget it.

Great all purpose backl. But never having even 1 season of 1k rushing yards season hurts him. His 12k AP yards rank him 87th all time, which is really good, but probably not HOF worthy.

He's not even close.

What if you do RBs by combined yards? I’d imagine he’s up there

YFS = Yards from scrimmage. There’s your “combined” number.

Thank you. Missed that.

I actually cited the 68th being yards from scrimmage, not just rushing. I went back an looked and that's good for 34th among RB and trailing a number of non HOF players.

Edit- see where that's been addressed

Thank you. I hate it but it’s probably right to keep him out. Love the guy but he wasn’t LT or AP level

 

[TC 83]

Doesn’t he have a few more seasons? I think he wants out of NO and I don’t blame him.

He’ll be 31 and he doesn’t seem like he has very much gas left in the tank.‘I’d be shocked if he’s still playing at a high level for much longer.

He just needs a change of scenery. Can do wonders for a RB.
