you're letting your homerism blind you from reality. Faulk was always going to be a first ballet induction. Craig will make it eventually, just not over a guy like Faulk.

Roger Craig is the Chris Carter of RB's when it comes to the HOF.

I thought it was the hall of fame?? You mean to tell me the person who made the cellphone is better than Alexander gram bell?? I dont think don't. INNOVATORS ARE NOT BETTER THAN INVENTORS.

Just remember: Chuck Foreman was a guy before Craig's time; so maybe that's why he didn't get as strong a consideration. Charles Haley is someone where you can make a case for, or against being cast into the hall of fame. He may have had five superbowls, but I wouldn't say he had that much of an impact, as say Reggie White.

How many Superbowl victories does Reggie have?

I guess they don't want too many 49ers in the Hall of Fame.

Faulk wouldn't have done s**t in the 80's or early 90's.

We're biased. He was good. But not as good as Frank Gore. He had the luxury of playing with many, many HOF guys. Can't say by himself he was HOF worthy.

Craig won two, I repeat TWO superbowls before rice and all them showed up.

I may be wrong on that but he won a SB before we got the "STUDS" on O.

there is no way to say that for sure. For all we know you put Faulk on the 49ers during the same years Craig was and he could have played better. Either way Faulk had a better overall career than Craig.

How about our offensive lineman... only once in Franks career has he been able to run behind a Good line. Roger Craig was a great back but I think both Faulk and Frank are better. Faulk definitely is a first ballot HOFer

Does anyone else think it's because the fumble?

Sad but it's still the 1st thing that comes to mind when I think of Craig...
