Roger Craig was at his peak from 1985 to 1989. That is not long.
The 3rd reason is Roger did not reach 10,000 yards in Rushing and only had 3 seasons over 1,000 yards rushing. His rushing numbers were that do that fact Craig shared the carries with Tyler, Cribbs, and Rathman while he was with the 49ers.
While Roger Craig's stats don't pass the test of time in rushing the ball, he should be in the Hall of Fame based on his impact on the game and how import his role was on the 49ers.

Roger Craig was a great all purpose 1980's running back like Marcus Allen was. Roger not being in the Hall of Fame is caused by 3 reasons in terms of the voters.
The first is the fact Rodger Craig is not the same class as 1980's running backs go. He is a considered a step down to Walter Payton, Eric Dickerson, and Tony Dorsett. He is in the next group of 80's running backs that includes Marcus Allen.
The 2nd thing is Roger did not have a long period of time being dominate.

Bri'onte Dunn is the future Roger Craig!

I sat next to this guy on a plane from Chicago to SF a few years ago. I didn't know who he was at all until people came up to me after the flight and were going hysterical, saying "that was roger craig!!!" He was a really nice guy though, really easy to talk to. He mentioned that he used to play football for the 49er's but we hardly even talked about football, we mostly talked about his son and running and where we both were at in life. so he's a great guy off the field.

HOFmer now.......yup!!
-
guys like marshall faulk follow in THIS guy's footsteps...first man with a 1000 yds rushing AND receiving in ONE FUCKING YEAR!?!?

I am an Eagles fan, but I remember being enamored by Roger Craig when I started watching football as a kid. He was the first all-purpose back, and really showed what an West Coast RB was all about. Plus you can't forget the high-knees. I think he is probably the most underrated football players ever. He deserves the HOF.
