the first to have 1000 rushing and receiving
Facts.........
Dean McPherson HE SHOULD BE!!!
Put this man in the HOF. He was Beastmode before Beastmode was even a thing.
Preach brother................
Why Rodger isn’t in the HOF,
baffles me.
I know it isn’t a statistic, but
Craig was all about the team.
He my cousin
They holding that fumble against him vs Giants were 49ers supposed 3Peat
@@michaelallen8112Well, Thurman Thomas is in there, and he lost plenty of, not playoff games, but SBs with his...
Roger Craig changed the RB position
It's a crime that this man isn't in the HOF. First man to go 1,000 in rushing and receiving while being a big part in winning three rings
I don't remember him getting run down from behind either.
Emmitt Smith was always caught in the open field.
@tone 22 Agreed!
@@kidmack1121 Emmitt Smith: 175 career touchdowns second most in NFL history only behind Jerry Rice & 164 career rushing touchdowns most in NFL history says otherwise.
@@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic
He never impressed me, he was absolutely useless after breaking into the backfield, which tells me he needed a lot of help from his blockers to put up those numbers.
Great when the end zone is nearby, but if the house was 30 or 40 yards away, he needed to catch a bus.
I watched a MNF game in 96-98 where the cowboys lost a close game to...someone, and Smith got into a personal contest with an opposing defensive back.
On a short yardage run to pick up a first down, he ignored the marker and chose to try and run over the player he was jaw jacking with.
I wouldn't want a guy like that on my team, and eventually J Jones didn't either.
I just watched a vintage early 80's Bengals game on here, and I think I heard Pete Johnson's season to season numbers being better, but don't quote me.
@@kidmack1121 Pete Johnson was a scrub & wasn't anywhere close to being good like Emmitt Smith. To each its own because I had no use for overrated Barry Sanders he was a one trick feast or famine running back if he wasn't taking a run 50+ yards he was utterly useless he suck ass a blocker, was a hot garbage receiver out of the backfield, & used to get taken out on short yardage & goal line situations also he is the only Hall of Fame running to have such a shitty playoff game as he did in 1994 after winning the rushing title with 1,883 yards only because Emmitt Smith had 2 pulled hamstrings that season but I digress Sanders in the Lions 16-12 1994 NFC WILD CARD GAME loss at Lambeau Field to the Green Bay Packers had a 13 carries for -1 yard but people claim this OVERRATED bum is better than Emmitt Smith because he was fun to watch foh give me Emmitt Smith's championship substance & winning intangibles over Barry Sanders' stylistic measurables & non existent winning intangibles twice on Sunday & 365 & 366 days in a leap year!!!!
How is this man not in the HOF?
JIM.B.ME It's outrageous. Greatest player not in. Arguably the greatest all around rb ever (rushing, blocking, and catching in one package).
Blue Indigo i have a feeling because its because of the fumble
Blue Indigo easy bud...Walter Payton did all those things and threw 8 touchdowns.
chris melendez You don't think I know who Payton was? He had his strengths..and was one of the best runners of all-time. He had longevity...and could take punishment like no other. But he's already in the HOF. This isn't about Payton...this is about a player who had a different set of strengths...and accomplished feats that other traditional backs didn't...not even Payton. By arguing for Craig...we aren't downplaying Payton or anyone else. Guys like Payton, Thomas & Dickerson are already in...and they typically get in easier...because they ran for more yardage. But an unorthodox back has to be recognized. Shouldn't be ignored for not having a traditional playing & running style. Even Dickerson said Craig belongs in the HOF.
Blue Indigo you are right sir,I stand corrected
It is a crying shame that Roger Craig is not in the Hall of Fame. The HOF needs to make this right.
The case for Roger Craig:
* 3x Superbowl Champion (shining & making key contributions in all 3).
* 13k + total yards
* 4x Pro Bowl Selection
* Most Points/TD's scored in a Super Bowl (record at the time)
* First Player in NFL history to gain 1000 yards in the air and 1000 on the ground in the same season. 1000/1000. (An incredible feat).
* NFL Offensive Player of the Year
* NFC Player of of the Year
* Arguably the greatest multi-purpose back to ever play the game. (Arguably no one better at running, blocking & catching in one package).
* NFL MVP (Back when there were 2 awards. His selection came from other players & coaches in the league. Speaks for itself).
* Could play both backfield positions and was a pro-bowl selection as both running back & full back.
* Had a unique, powerful & graceful stride that made him very difficult to tackle.
* First running back to lead the NFL in receptions for a season (a completely stunning, mind boggling achievement. Absolutely unheard of). In fact, it is believed that he was a full back when he achieved this (from his own statement). This makes it even more crazy.
* Led all running backs in receptions for six straight years: 1984-1989
* 1980's All-decade team.
Other considerations:
Considering a players worthiness for the HOF is not a cookie cutter process. One size doesn't fit all. Circumstances must be taken into account.
1. You have to look at Craig's impact on the running back & full back positions. He helped to revolutionize those positions, and how NFL offenses approach the game. He changed the position. Before Craig...the position was mostly a more boring, smash mouth position.
2. His big game ability. In every Superbowl, he showed up & showed out. He wasn't just a guy on the roster.
3. The impact on his team. He made everyone around him better. He was known for his work ethic & dedication. He was also the spoke in the wheel of that offense that made everything else work. It wasn't John Taylor, or Jerry Rice. It was Roger Craig.
4. He was the first to do a number of different things. That needs to be recognized in Canton.
5. His career was cut short by injuries that slowed him down toward the end of his career. Had he been healthy, he could have played another 2-3 years...and would have eclipsed 10k yards rushing....and 15-16k in total yards.
Other Key Considerations & Context:
Total Yards: 13,100
Only 278 total yards less than O.J. Simpson but more than HOFers Earl Campbell, Larry Csonka, Gayle Sayers, and Lenny Moore.
13,100 total yards are also more total yards than HOF wide receivers: Steve Largent (played 14 years vs. Roger’s 11), Paul Warfield, Lynn Swann (more than double), John Stallworth, Michael Irvin, Calvin Johnson, Art Monk, and Drew Pearson.
Touchdowns: 73
Only two less than O.J. Simpson but more than HOFers Ollie Matson, Gayle Sayers, Larry Csonka.
Craig belongs in the Hall of Fame. His career speaks for itself. Furthermore, several current HOF'ers believe that Craig should be in Canton.
“I believe that Roger is a Hall-of-Famer. Roger was the first to do the double 1,000, his style of running over defensive opponents was unmatched and he was an irreplaceable part of San Francisco's offense in the 1980's.”
- Eric Dickerson
Hopefully the HOF Seniors Committee will give this man his flowers while he is still here.
always remember this guy for his high knees
Craig didn't have two knees, he had two weapons attached to his hips. I loved watching him. The only other runner I recall having such high knee action was Eric Dickerson. For my money though, I thought Craig was a more complete back. Great runner and some of the best hands I've seen on a runningback.
roger craig...favourite running back of all time...him and tom rathman...what a backfield
Both Rathman and Craig played college ball at Nebraska.
The Niners famed Husker backfield
Ahead of his time. The original scat/satellite/dual threat back. Deserves the HOF!
Still one of my favorite RB’s of all time.
It is completely incomprehensible that this man is not in the HOF!
Led the NFL in receptions. Forgot what year...but for a running back on a team with the likes of Jerry Rice, that is unheard of. It's mind boggling. 👀
Loved his style and attitude...
Should be in Hall of Fame!
He was my favorite player growing up. Im obviously biased, I grew up in SJ. He was covered by the media well here. This was a long time ago. However, he was a top running back for about five years. His stats would be better if he wasn't a full back through some of his prime years. He should be a hall of famer. The niners of the 80's and 90's were so dominant. I miss those days. I hope I can see one more dynasty out of the niners. R.Craig #33 HOF
Rodger Craig was a violent runner
He gave all 100% and a finger Respect .......
You might be thinking of Ronnie Lott
Dope video. People forget how dangerous that man was. damn shame he's not a hall of famer....but Terrel Davis is? Somethings wrong...
WTF? Terrell Davis wouldn't make a pimple on this man' ass!
lou Nicks terrell was just that dominant in the 4 year strech. He had 2k season, 2 sbs super bowl mvp, 3 allpro honors, league mvp, 2x offensive player of the year and 6400 rushing yards. And the greatest postseason back ever, unlike craig who fumbled a three peat away. But i still believe that craig should be hof, but no need to disrespect td
Fair enough. Watch these 2 men' highlight reels independently, and then ask, "Which man made more yards on his own? Not with the help of an Extraordinary Rushing line. Roger Craig had more spirit, high knees, "All day motor". What an all-around-back. However, Terrell was a good back no doubt about it. With a line like Denver had then, a lot of backs would've faired pretty well.
JokerrRuth and td made alot of yards after contact. Besides, opponents most of the time focused their gameplan on stopping td. Sure broncos had elway rod smith and the company, but montana rice and taylor were better.
Td was amazing. Not many could have taken his place in that team and pull of 2k or anything remotely close to it. Sure, td and guys like emmitt had great lines, but both of them had extraordinary vision and balance.
70s raiders had 4 hofs on their line, i cant even name a rb from those teams.
I will never agree with you on the statement that td is just "good". And i already said that craig deserves to be hofer. And niners had a great line too, their whole team were great.
those legs! the best compliments you can ever have come from your adversary, im a falcons fan and was the whole time he played and while the niners were in our division. he would just absolutely churn another player up sometimes.
Back to back super bowls with 2 different head coaches
Top 5 receiving RB's Imo
1) Marshall Faulk
2) Roger Craig
3) Ladainian Tomlinson
4) Marcus Allen
5) Thurman Thomas
Not too many guys did what these guys could do. They were equally effective running or catching. But the best to do it was Marshall. He could've played receiver and still been an All pro...
Marshell Faulk SHOULD be hands down the best running back of all time.. he could do anything.. a play could break down, and he would take it to the other side of the field.. crazy vision..
lou Nicks Honorable mentions would be the late great Walter Payton (arguably the most complete running back in NFL history just not as dynamic or flashy like the running backs on your list similar to his clone Emmitt Smith) the Kansas Comet Gayle Sayers, Terry Metcalf & his son Eric Metcalf who was an all-purpose running back & dynamic kick returner with the Cleveland Browns earlier in his career & then became a 1,000 yard wide receiver in the explosive 1995-96 Atlanta Falcons run & shoot offense of head coach June Jones which featured a 4,000 yard passer (Jeff George), a 1,000 yard rusher (the late great Craig "Ironhead" Hayward) & 3 1,000 yard wide receivers (Terrance Mathis, Bert Emmanuel, & the aforementioned Eric Metcalf still to this day I believe just one of 4 offenses in NFL history to have such a statistical trifecta of that kind.),Paul Hornung, Keith Lincoln of the Sid Gillman AFL San Diego Chargers, Chuck Foreman, Bobby Mitchell, Lenny Moore, & Charlie Taylor (Mitchell, Moore, & Taylor all began their respective Hall of Fame careers a running backs & all switched to full time wide receivers midway through their careers Taylor actually won NFL rookie of the year as a running back during the 1964-65 season with 800+ yards rushing & 700+ yards receiving & when he retired following the 1977-78 season he was the NFL's all-time leader in receptions with 649.), Lydell Mitchell, the late great Chuck Muncie, Wilbert Montgomery, James Brooks, Ricky Watters, Charlie Garner, Joe Washington, Tony Nathan, Gary Anderson, Lionel "Little Train" James, Larry Centers, Tony Galbreath, Priest Holmes, Edgerin James, Terry Kirby, & Keith Byars just to name a few others but I love your list probably would switch Thurman Thomas & Ladanian Tomilison though.
lou Nicks 1 flaw with your list..Brian Westbrook needs to be in there somewhere
Also, Frank Gore belongs in the top 10.
How dare you not put Walter Payton at #1 let alone not even in your list!?
1. Wlater Payton
2. Marcus Allen
3. Thurman Thomas
4. Marshall Faulk
5. LaDanian Tomlinson
6. Roger Craig
Underrated. Probably never see another rb like this. Bell from Steelers had a chance.
Best San Francisco rb in history playing on the best team in history. Don’t care what anyone says about patriots. Those old Montana/ Craig teams are the best imo.
what i remember of his is his wide eyes and high knee strides and always pumpin them legs ... he was inspiring and im not a 49er fan at all
A HIGH STEPPING RUNNING BACK!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
Those High Knees! Wow!
Roger was the 1988 NFL MVP as the Sports Writers Voted him. It wasn't Boomer Esiason. Roger had more yards from scrimmage than Esiason had PASSING in the Super Bowl. Let that sink in....
great route runner with great hands
HE WAS A COMPLETE SAVAGE!!!
Why is this man STILL not in the HOF? Please put him in. The offense cycled around him at one point.
He's a PPR fantasy's wet dream!
I was watching some of your other uploads earlier. It's awesome stuff. where do you get all this footage?
Matt Johnson the guy is sitting on a goldmine
I have most of this footage on vhs tapes..........
What would it take to get some of those tapes?
#blackdiamondpresscomix:*19*_ No.33 Roger Craig! USE to Hurt Me So Badd w/HIS Heroics(as kid0) especially when they Destroyed i.Broncos n da Super Bowl,.....man. Um.UM. dat Roger Craig WAS Great. Along w/all da Other 49er's.

Should be in HoF!!!!
He’s my family
No doubt should and ought to be HOf
Craig's kneecaps have entered the chat
Will you do modern day era players highlights?
well........ honestly i stop recording highlights around 2009-2010.............but modern players like who?
Jsn Walker Like maybe a megatron or Peyton manning? Players that are still in the league right now?
I'm a see what I can do homie.........I want to make so many it's just all about having the time.......Some videos actually take 3 or 4 days to make........
Jsn Walker I can wait lol. I've become a fan. I don't know another channel like yours. I appreciate what you're doing. Much respect.
Why? The old men played in a tougher league, at a tougher time, with less cry-baby rules. This is when football was real, and men were still men. You know, back before the government gave all of the power to women and forced the NFL to wear a pink headband.
1:54
11:11
The volume is all over the place in this vid. Annoying.
Nowadays you're not a good rb if you can't catch out of the backfield
Marshell Faulk just did everything better
He did it for longer I wouldn't say better. Craig led the league in receptions one year he was the core of that offense on those back to back superbowl teams just like faulk. He beat out jerry rice in receptions twice I believe. Think about that
@@anthonyharp7696 Faulk beat out Isaac Bruce & Torry Holt in receptions a couple of seasons from 1999-03 2 future Hall of Fame wide receivers & arguably a top 3 or 5 wide receiver tandem in NFL history.
@Darius Hall I didn't knock Craig & actually Lenny Moore, Bobby Mitchell, Chuck Foreman, Preston Pearson, Lydell Mitchell, Terry Metcalf, Joe Washington Tony Nathan, Tony Dorsett, Joe Cribbs, James Brooks, & Marcus Allen were ALL dual-threat/all-purpose running backs long before Roger Craig entered the NFL as a rookie in 1983 so he didn't start or invent anything new at that position he expanded upon what those other running backs I mentioned did & took it to a higher level.
YudazOwn this is the bottom comment for a reason
@Darius Hall So fucking what that just means Craig was on the right team at the right time. System made player who isn't in the Hall of Fame.
