Edge has this bad rap that he's just a system back and was only along for the ride aboard the Peyton Manning Experience, when people forget that many times he was the one carrying that offense. How the Colts ran him into the ground from jump street is the reason for his early knee injury that robbed him of his home run ability. Without his ability to take it to the house, he adjusted his game and still performed at a dominant level for six years.
He's one of the best modern backs of all-time and it's sad that he doesn't get proper due he deserves because of perception and circumstance. In the end, his HOF status hinges on Curtis Martin.
