Davante ended last year on an extremely high note for a rookie. Rodgers was throwing it his way as if he trusted him like Jordy and Cobb. Looking to see a huge step forward this year.

And once again, this may be the best offense the Packers have had with Rodgers. Week 2 against Seattle in Lambeau should be fun. Our offense should = Seattle's defense. Last 2 games were unacceptable.

Name me five HoF-eligible RBs who haven't gotten in that deserve it more than Jerome Bettis.
Who says any of those guys need to?  I put him right back there with the list given.  Probably none of them deserve to be hall of famers.

At least guys like Shaun Alexander and Priest Holmes had times of true dominance.
And that includes some garbage time later seasons where Pitt thought Duce Staley and Willie Parker were the change in direction they wanted at RB (though Willie had a few good years)

Those garbage time seasons are what allowed him to get the career rushing stats that got him in, though.  So you can't have it both ways in that case.

Shaun Alexander didn't dominate a damn thing.
On December 11, 2005, in Seattle's NFC West-clinching victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Alexander had his 9th 100–yard rushing game of the year, breaking Chris Warren's franchise record of eight 100–yard games. In the process he also set a more significant NFL record, running for 100 yards against divisional opponents in nine straight games, a record previously held by Walter Payton.

I was referring to his (apparently all important) YPC. He should've gotten more carries (and thus had even more total yards). Pitt was trying to find the next guy when Bus was still effective
