I have a TERRY Metcalf story (Eric's father): I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American and male. My friend Tom coached a 16-17 year old boys team. Terry Metcalf was a referee, along with a kindergarten teacher. Ben, who was a hot-headed a-hole, played for Tom's team. I went to watch some of their games. On a fast break, Ben got thrown into the wall, no foul was called. Terry blew the whistle and said, "My time. Are you ok?" Ben said "F--k you." Terry said, "Technical! Ejected! Have a seat!" Ben said, "F--k you." Terry said, "Out of the gym!" Later in the game (Tom's team was all Caucasian, and the opponent happened to be mostly Asian), Terry told the team captain of Tom's team, "I don't want to hear any more complaints from your team!" The captain asked Terry, "Is that a racist remark?" Terry said, "Technical!" Tom got very pissed off about that.
@@MikeBNumba6 Hard disagree. They objectively should. Especially Dunn since he was also a great pass catcher, and he was a key part of a Super Bowl team.
@@mitchcolburn1216 we won't agree on this and that's fine. I believe the Hall of fame should be a very exclusive club. Like when I think of Warrick Dunn is he even remotely close on the level of say Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, OJ, Jim Brown or LT? No. And the same goes for the other guys mentioned earlier. Put Warrick Dunn in the Bucs HoF. Tiki Barber in the Giants HoF. Same for Watters and the others. But not the NFL hall of fame
Watters retired as a top 10 all time rusher and he’s still top 25 all time. Finished his career with over 10k yards. More than Marshawn Lynch, Tiki Barber and Eddie George. He definitely deserves to be in the HoF.

@@brianevans9671 lol 😂 he is my idol!!! But he crushed it when I met him outside our local News station! He comes out with the press and some other people and I politely introduce myself and asked if he would autograph a picture I had of him? He said yes but if he could beat him in a quick race? He then started talking shit to me in front of them and he was like I bet you I could beat you in my $ 2,000 dollar something something Italian shoes 👞 ?
Dude he so close... If he wasnt going in as a running back I think he would be. The 7 1K seasons hurt him, but on the other hand he had over 1K yards 9X... Its so close
As a redskin fan with cowboy friends, that 1994 NFC championship game was one I will never forget….the way the cowboys battled back from a 21-0 deficit with an injury depleted roster vs that all time 49ers team with Deion made me a cowboy fan for just that one game. And yes it hurts me to admit that if jimmy was there for 1994 and 1995, there would have been a 4 peat…..
Yeah, Randall threw Ricky a hospital pass. He goes for it, probably puts him out for a few weeks if not longer. Imagine that, the Eagles big free agent signing ends up on IR making an effort play. There's a reason Ray Rhodes pulled Randall for Rodney Peete a couple of weeks later, that 49er style short passing offense was just not for him.
People just don’t understand how great of a running back Ricky Watters was. Just watch Super Bowl 29 highlights see him running over and through Junior Seau and the Chargers defense.
1 game resumé? Great? Nahh. if he was "great" what was Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Earl Campbell, Bo Jackson? However - in your defense, you may not have been around to remember these great backs.
@@learn2xpand862 Dont care. What "big game" did Earl Campbell, Bo Jax, Eric Dickerson play in? Watters doesnt even crack the top 15. Good RB no doubt, but far from great.
Ricky "Running" Watters deserves a gold jacket. If the 49ers could of resign him back after Superbowl win 49ers probably would win 1 or 2 more Superbowl wins with Young, Rice, and T.O coming into the picture . Watters can do it all Running and Receiving Back. Also made it to the Playoffs with 3 Different Teams. Certainly a great Running Back to watch during the 90's.
Indeed. 1k with all 3 different teams as well. I think He’s Thee only RB in History to break 1k Rushing with 3 different teams GORE may have done it since but I don’t think so 🤔
Ricky “Running” Waters was One of the Finest Well Rounded Running Backs I’ve ever seen ..Always a Top Shelf Entertainer in a League of Entertainment… Trust Me I seen a lot of Pro Football in my lifetime .. For Ricky it wasn’t just about getting empty Yards & Stats it was the way He got those Yards … He could really put a Team’s Offense on His Back ..

IMO Ricky should’ve been a “No Brainer” First Ballot Hall of Famer but due to The Country , The Politics while being UnApologetically Who You are as a Man here in America Unfortunately will only lead to Ricky being made an Example of .. Which makes The Hall of Fame Voting Committee look like Highly Suspect Organization of Biased Scumbags!!!…💯✊🏾
He was one of my favorite running backs since I saw him at Notre Dame. As a kid it was obvious he and Rocket should have been touching the ball the vast majority of times. Then being from the Bay I was so happy when the Niners drafted him. He’s definitely underrated!
Work horse 🐎 Ricky i neva fumble the ball warters this given me flashbacks growing up watching football playing john madden with my cousin damn those we're some fun times
I heard about Ricky Watters when I first started watching NFL football in the late 90s. But I didn’t know he was this good. Definitely needs to be in the Hall of Fame
The Eagles used to have training camp in Bethlehem Pa where I grew up. It is impossible to describe how popular he was with Eagles fans during his brief, 3 year run. Ironically the only player I've seen get more love was T.O, who was an Eagle for only 2 years
Seen him play a couple times in person, as a kid , watters was a monster on the field , receiving, running, plus kick returns, punt returns he was that good
Holtz never used Watters correctly at Notre Dame. He was used as a change of pace back instead of the work horse RB. Everybody used to say, "Why don't they use this Watters guy more?" Holtz just loved his 240 lb backs too much. When I saw him in week one on the 49ers against the Giants, I knew that was a great fit for him as he was a great receiving back. He ran for finesse and power, one of the best of all-time.
Watters, Williams, Bettis, Martin, Taylor, James,Sanders,Holmes, Alstott, Smith… all amazing power/finesse backs of the 90s-00s. It was fun watching them run and trying to emulate them in pickup games. 😂
@@Chuck_EL yeah I tried to be like Allstott and split my head open several times. When you are young and bulletproof you don’t realize how long injuries stay with you.😫
Iconic highstep, but you need to have clear cut all time great numbers to get into the HOF with his attitude. They blackballed TO for 2 years when his numbers should've been 1st ballot. Ricky retired way behind Barry's numbers and they played about a decade each.
I kind had this idea of his being this cocky, arrogant guy, but then saw a couple of interviews post retirement and it was really obvious that Ricky is this genuine person - a good person, so that changed my mind totally on him
I’m 40 and grew up in Philly. I have 3 things. 1. Ricky Waters was great, aside from the fumbles. 2. He should have let up on that play. 3. Philadelphia will never accept not leaving it all on the line.
Love these videos. Some suggestions: Clinton Portis, Neil Lomax, Ken O'Brien, Santana moss,, Irving fryar, Rodney Peete, Steve Buerlein, Jay Schroader, chad pennington, joey galloway, herman moore
Those infamous 4 words by Ricky didn’t keep him out of the Hall of Fame IMO. Although Ricky was one of the most versatile running backs of his era, I think all things considered, he was more Hall of “very good” than no doubt Hall of Famer.
He really was awesome. He is one of those legends who is just under the HOF mark. Would love to see him in the hall but can see why he just misses getting voted in.
I used to love Ricky Waters He was So Dope with The Niners That 95 SUPERB owl Team with Deion was SOOOPP DOPE! They had Richard Dent & Ricky Jackson they signed that season as well to go with all the studs they already had like Ken Norton Jr long neck Merton Hanks Brent Jones 8🐐0 Young Rathman Waters was My Dude But don’t get it twisted Barry is My All Time Favorite Player Deion was right there until he signed with the cowgirls
Watters was a great rb and considering he missed nearly his entire first and last year in the league and retiring when he still had gas left in the tank, he easily would have racked up over 12,000 or 13,000 rushing yards. Ricky Watters and Curtis Martin are two alltime great running backs who are forgetting/ underrated players from the same era.
in hindsight it worked out, but taking a guy with character concerns, an undefined college role and dips in production as he aged in the second round was WILD.
Yea i love my 49ers but we have made mistakes by letting certain players go Ricky Waiters was underrated beast 💯. Especially when we got T.O. man Waiters, Rice, Young in 96 we could did something?

“Did four WORDS keep him out of the hall of fame” that’s disgusting and the reason other hall of famers should choose who makes it, not some writers that could never do even 1% of what these men do on the field
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American (yes, this matters, in THIS story) and male. A Ricky Watters story that I DIDN'T like: In 2001, we traded for Matt Hasselbeck, who I KNEW would pan out! During training camp, Matt was quarterbacking, and Ricky Watters yelled to Matt, "Give 'The Truth' the ball!! Give 'The Truth' the ball!!" Matt Didn't know who "The Truth" was. The POINT is, I DON'T like that kind of arrogance. How about "Time to get tough. Give me the ball." I would have like that a LOT better, than this whole "The Truth" and THIRD person BS.
In the Catholics versus convicts 30 for 30 on ESPN Tony Rice talks about that long pass in the Miami game to Watters, but only says “I threw the perfect pass and he caught it”… Doesn’t mention Watters name
You can do one with the Lopez Twins when they were in high school they were teammates of quincy poindexter 3 nba players same team san Joaquin memorial high school Fresno ca. Do ur homework
I'd like to point out the fact that the NFL Hall of Fame process is extremely flawed... Take Derrick Thomas for instance, if ever there was a person deserving of first ballot status, it was him... He was on four ballots before finally making the cut, which was basically like going and pissing on his headstone for each eligible ballot he was on
Ricky Watters definitely would’ve helped the Niners win more Super Bowls if he would’ve stayed and he had a really good chance to become the second 1000 yards rushing & 1000 yards receiving after Roger Craig. His ego wouldn’t allow that unfortunately 🤦🏽♂️
Ricky Watters was the TRUTH! I swear, on Madden 95, run a HB Sweep or Toss with him and it was almost an automatic TD run!
Them 49ers teams won 12-13 games per season for nearly the whole 1990 decade
Ricky Watters and Eric Metcalf the 2 most underrated all around backs ever
Agree
Metcalf was Dope AF
I couldn’t believe when He went to ATL & became an All Pro WR
No more RB @ all
Metcalf was a good player, but you're talking two different levels, Waters should be in the HOF.
I have a TERRY Metcalf story (Eric's father): I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American and male. My friend Tom coached a 16-17 year old boys team. Terry Metcalf was a referee, along with a kindergarten teacher. Ben, who was a hot-headed a-hole, played for Tom's team. I went to watch some of their games.

Later in the game (Tom's team was all Caucasian, and the opponent happened to be mostly Asian), Terry told the team captain of Tom's team, "I don't want to hear any more complaints from your team!" The captain asked Terry, "Is that a racist remark?" Terry said, "Technical!" Tom got very pissed off about that.
Matt forte also , an can never forget Darren sproles
Ricky Watters was definitely one of these many of us wanted. Thanks.

I'd like to point out the fact that the NFL Hall of Fame process is extremely flawed... Take Derrick Thomas for instance, if ever there was a person deserving of first ballot status, it was him...
