Does Frank Gore make you nervous for Emmitt's record?

The majority of Hall of Famers usually have a few flashy seasons as well as having a whole bunch of solid, consistent years. Instead of one or the other, the great ones have both. Emmitt was flashy. Having 4 rushing titles is a flashy stat. He was also consistent like Gore. Irvin was definitely flashy and he was also steady.

Curtis Martin averaged 83 yards per game for his career. That is 10th best all-time. That seems flashy to me and he played a lot of games, which shows his non-flashy steadfastness.
Don't agree. Emmit was the polar opposite of flashy, and you're the first one I've ever heard claim that he was.

Irvin was also the polar opposite of flashy. He was a typical grinder, who got open and caught short/mid range passes.

What in the world makes you claim that either of these guys was flashy? I mean, both were the polar opposite of flashy as players. I seriously don't get why you'd say that.
