10,448 yards career plus more than 5,000 yards receiving. Certainly on the low-end of Hall of Fame backs.
However, he walks from the game at 31, after a 1,600 yard plus season and three straight over 1,500 yards. At the top of his game, which is when he walked, Barber is clearly a top-3 back, and until Tomlinson's outburst this year, Barber had a legitimate claim on being the best in the NFL last year (yes, he was better than Alexander last year).
Plus, in a time when being a crybaby, thug or jerk is fashionable, Tiki is a class act.
I say open the Hall for one of the great backs of his generation.
