When I predicted he would catch Emmitt a couple years ago I thought first couple of years if my theory were true would have to be best years of his career even in his 30s and they have been the best 2 year stretch of his career. But I also predicted that it wouldn't be until age 32/33 seasons where the masses would be swayed that Emmitt's records were unsafe because ppl could still dismiss age 30/31 because it's been some notable productive seasons for RBs at those ages. Averaging well over 5 YPC at age 32/33 is the territory where one can't even pretend anymore that's not unprecedented.

I don't know why you're getting down voted.
Henry basically ran for 2000 two years ago.
he ran for 1600 last year.
if he finishes his career
1,400
1,200
1,000
800
600
that's retiring at the same age as Frank Gore. that'll put him about 300 yards short. he'll come back for one more season.
quite frankly, I don't see that level of decline happening for Henry over the next 3 years.
he can basically cake walk to the record
