Bill from NYC Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Faulk has to be a first ballot HOFer. Absolutely agree, and Richard Dent deserves a bit more respect imo. He certainly was one of the top 5 defensive ends I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Why? Don't give me stats. Tell me why he was the greatest running back of all time and should be in the same category as Jim Brown. He was the offensive player of the year 3x. Three years of being the best offensive player in the NFL makes him one of the best to play the game. Quick, fast, elusive, he was the most complete of the complete backs untill LT. Dominant player. He was like Thurman Thomas 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyToTasker Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Andre Reed made the finalists cut....Has a chance.

VirginiaMike Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Looks like Reed won't make it to the Hall this year. He will finish behind Cris Carter and likely Shannon Sharpe. Even though Sharpe is listed at TE, I douby more then 2 pass catchers make the Hall. Too bad, I think Adree will follow the route of Art Monk.

Peace Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Why? Don't give me stats. Tell me why he was the greatest running back of all time and should be in the same category as Jim Brown. Who is this straw man who said Faulk is the greatest RB of all time? And why wouldn't I give you stats? 4 times over 2000 yds from scrimmage. 7 seasons over 1000 rushing including his final season. 10th all time rushing. 135 TDs. One ring. Best RB of his playing era. The guy is first ballot HOF. It's not even going to be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was Thurman's biggest fan and will admit this truth with ease. Edited January 10, 2011 by machinegun12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
