Gale Sayers is in the HOF and that is a precedent for outstanding players who everybody knows would have continued to be outstanding if not for an injury.

That would be Elway.
Gayle Sayers doesn't set the precedent. He is the exception to the rule. Sayers put together five top 5 seasons (TD had 3), and doubled as an elite kick returner in those years. I agree a lot of that was because of the mystique of his talent, but even with that he has an edge over TD. That's not a knock on TD's talent, by the way.
