The case for Chuck Foreman being entered into the pro Football Hall of Fame is strong. 5 times an All Pro in his 7 year career.
Rushed for over 1000 yds 3 times and this was over 14 game season ( 16 now) when gaining 1000 yards was a rarity...and most importantly he was the 1st BIG TIME All Purpose RB racking up 3100 yds over his career even leading the NFL in receptions with 73 for 691 yds in 1975.
I've always thought that Fran Tarkenton built a HOF career off of Chuck's results. During his career he was consistently the Vikings most dangerous offensive weapon. He led the Vikings to 3 Super Bowls, but like Jim Kelly at Buffalo they never won the big one.
His overall value is best summed up in his Total yards rushing and receiving as he racked up 1143 yds, 1363 yds, 1761 yds, 1722 yds, 1420 yds, and 1145 Total Yards in 5 consecutive years over a 14 game season.
Chuck has long deserved to be in the Hall of Fame as the 1st All Purpose RB and a 5 time Pro Bowler during his 7 year career ....BUT to date that hasn't occurred WTF!!...and it's a travesty

Music really Sucks
Fresh hope for Chuck Foreman's Hall of Fame chances?
Chuck Foreman is diplomatic. He hands out the requisite compliments and avoids selfishly pounding his chest on social media.www.fredericknewspost.com
77. Chuck Foreman
Chuck Foreman was called the “Spin Doctor”, but it was not due to his ability to spin his words. It was due to the way that he could spin his body around would-be tacklers. When people think of the Minnesota Vikings of the 1970s, they recall the Purple People Eaters and the scrambling of Fran...www.notinhalloffame.com

The music is great. It's got a good beat and easy to dance to. I give it a 92.

Stupid comment....calls all-time great Chuck Foreman "this guy." Should be permanently band for stupidity and disrespecting a Hurricane legend. Stats mean very little.

Otis was top 5 rushing when he retired and won a Super Bowl. Look at the nfl all time leader stats when Otis retired.

Yeah... I'm not arguing 1 or the other... Otis played on **** bag teams most of his career... Edge played with other hall of famers... They both should be in, no question..

OJ's Giant teams were better than Edge
Only because of injuries...One is Ranked 13 in Rushing...the other 30th....And I was blessed to see them both play at UM and the Pros....Also keep in mind...Edge played on a much more Pass Happy Offense with Manning...Wayne and Harrison...

I looked at that wrong... Otis played 180+... Games started was 125... Again, I'm not arguing 1 or the other... They both should be in and Otis should have been 5-10 years after retirement... Otis played for the Cardinals.. They ***n sucked... Name his help on offense... Edge 3k carries averaged 4.0... Otis had 2500 carries averaged 4.0...

OJ played for the Giants from age 30-35... Those Giants teams were better on defense than Edge's Colts teams.. Don't even try to compare the offenses...

Still top ten. Show me where a guy who was top 10 when he retired that doesn’t deserve the hall. TD made that hall and he’s stats are no where Otis.
