Terrell Owens Climbing the TD Charts

[Hostile]

All-time Touchdown Leaders
Active players in Bold.

1. Jerry Rice...208
2. Emmitt Smith...175
3. Marcus Allen...145
4. Marshall Faulk...136
5. Cris Carter...131
6. Jim Brown...126
7. Walter Payton...125
8. Marvin Harrison...122
T9. John Riggins...116
T9. Terrell Owens...116

What does this mean? Well, I seriously doubt he will score 6 TDs more than Marvin Harrison, but with one more he could be alone in 9th place. 11 TDs this year would put him at 127. I figure Harrison will move up to 5th this year, drop Carter to 6th. With a good year Owens could be 7th all time in TDs scored.

BTW, rising up the charts fast is LaDanian Tomlinson who is 12th with 111 (in 6 years). He could pass Owens and push him down if he gets anywhere close to what he did last year. Highly unlikely but expect him to finish more for his career.

Other active players in the top 20 all time are Shaun Alexander with 107 (14th) and Randy Moss with 102 (17th).

I believe T.O. is a Hall of Famer regardless, after this year I believe he'll leave no doubt. Now in regards to being a first ballot member, I seriously doubt that.

I think there is a chance at 1st ballot if he can end his career without any more blow ups and continues to play at a high level.

 

[Bull Frog]

Hopefully he'll tie Cris Carter this year. I expect him to pass Marvin TONIGHT!!!! Oh wait . . .

I doubt it, he's been too much of a firecracker to go in 1st ballot....

 

[RomoIsBack]

if he get 20td he can be in top 5

I haven't really made up my mind if he is a HOFer or not, but if he has 2 more good years and gets into the top 5 or 6, you have to believe he probably is.

True but he still has time in his career to change minds.

 

[RomoIsBack]

A couple of Superbowl rings MIGHT change some people perception but umm that's even a stretech possibly...

No way on this earth.

Even if he caught Marcus Allen he won't hold off Tomlinson.

Yes, if he stays healthy, he will move up very quick. At least it will be LT that will pass Emmitt. And if he does that, then I hope he passes Rice, to knock the 49er off the top.

[Hostile]

Smith had 96 TD in his 1st 6 seasons

You counted only rushing TDs. He had 4 receiving TDs.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Randy Moss has alot more then I realized....but, when you think about it.

 

[HighTechDave]

wow, and thanks Doomsday for the stat.

 

[Doomsday101]

You counted only rushing TDs. He had 4 receiving TDs.

Thanks for the correction. So that puts him at 100 in his 1st 6 season. I knew you were good for something Hostile.
