10 years by normal Hall of Fame standards would be a relatively "short career" especially considering all that happened during Barry's retirement. Barry retired during what many considered his prime and he could have passed Walter for the rushing record if he had stayed around.
Walter also had a lot swirling during his retirement. 12 years isn't short but it's not exactly long considering some players in the NFL play.
Also on the AFL point...nice job Joe12. Warren Moon's CFL stats were brought into play when he was voted into the Hall so Kurt's AFL stats must be considered as well.

The average career of an NFL player is 3 1/2 seasons according to the NFLPA
where are you getting your information on HOF players careers because many HOF had careers less than 10 years

An average NFL career is different then a HOF career...
also, I'm using the Pro Football Hall of Fame website and seeing as how I don't have time to go through every single hall of fame player for career length I'll use running backs as my example. Payton did have a long career so I was wrong on that but...
In the Modern Era of Running Backs only 7 didn't go at least ten seasons (Leroy Kelly, Gale Sayers, Doak Walker, Charley Trippi, Earl Campbel, Paul Hornung and of course Jim Brown) Several went past ten (Larry Csonka, Marcus Allen, Walter Payton, John Henry Johnson, Lenny Moore, Hugh Mcelhenny, Thurman Thomas, O.J. Simpson, Joe Perry, Franco Harris, Tony Dorsett, Ollie Matson, John Riggins, etc.)
Barry would be in the middle I guess but seeing as how most hall of fame running backs went past ten years I stand by my comment that he had a relatively short career. Especially with the circumstances surrounding his reitrement.
