There is no way he is left out of the HOF much longer.

He was 1st team NFL all decade for the 2000s at RB. He and LT. Basically the second best RB of his generation.

Not sure what more you need as proof he belongs in than that.

He'd have been the best if not for the ACL injury. He was better than LT in 1999 and 2000.

Of course he was, LT wasn't even in the league in 1999 and 2000.

I meant that the Edge of 1999 and 2000 was better than prime LT.

Compelling argument, but I disagree. Edge had another gear in those first two years that made him elite. The ACL tear robbed him of that, but his all around skillset was so good that he was still a highly productive RB even without it. He produced at a level comparable to Marshall Faulk in those first two seasons. The explosive pre-ACL tear Edge who averaged 125+ all purpose yards per game would've had a better career than LT. That he was able to turn himself into a consistent Top 5 RB without that explosion speaks to his immense talent level and is the reason he belongs in Canton.
