It doesn't discredit Priest.
Priest had the line advantage, TD had the skill position and QB advantage. In the end they were both very, very good players who had 3 HOF caliber seasons because of some elite talent around them. Priest was more productive on a per-game basis, Davis won more games because he played on better teams. Simple. As. That. Priest, of course, had 1,000 yards on a completely different team, too. ![]()

Also, it should be pointed out that Priest was having one of the great all time seasons in 2004 before he hurt his knee.
He was on pace for 1800 yards rushing and 30 TD. Davis and Priest were very comparable in terms of level of ability.

TD had like 3 good runs and his knees fell off. Next argument.

Priest was well on his way to a 4th 2000 yard season in 2004 too. If he got that I think he might actually have had a better chance to get in. That would've been as many as Faulk and Eric Dickerson... and I think is the record. There aren't many guys who've had 2000+ yards in a season 3 times.
You are correct though... Priest had the 10th best season from scrimmage in history, and did it in 14 games. He literally could've had 75 total yards in each of the last two games and had the 2nd best season of all time from scrimmage. It would've been the best season ever at the time. But still he only ended up about 200 yards behind Chris Johnson's eventual record. |

There are so many misguided perceptions in this thread about those donkey teams. I'll try to correct them as soon as I get an opportunity.

TD was the best running back in the league in a time where Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith were still playing. He was also the best playoff running back in NFL history.
Who cares if he didn't play very long. He was one of the 5 best to ever do it.

So, he's better than Smith or Sanders?

7600 career yards and he's one of the top 5 RBs.
