Every RB is in the HOF so far that is retired and has over 12000 rushing yards. Edge is no worse that any of those already in and at his peak was better than many of them.
Edge was also a great all around back, catching, blocking, running. early in Manning's career Edge running the stretch play with Manning having the option, still being mobile, to go play action out of that was one of the primary things that made the Colts offense so hard to stop.
As mentioned, on the all decade team.
People tend to forget he actually did make a SB, just not with the Colts. On the Cardinals. At the tail end of his career, actually put up decent, though not great, rushing numbers in that playoff run
