Stenbar Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Most years I can agree with most HOF inductions but the past four or five years I have felt that some good but not great players have been chosen and voted into the HOF. I was always under the feeling that to be in the HOF you should not only be good but a dominant player at there position. It just seems to me that Players like CHris Carter Tim Brown Curtis Martin Dont even belong in the conversation. So with that in mind who is the One HAll of Famer you just scratch your head and say How the Hell did he get in? Mine is Andre Tippett.... Who is yours?

Dan Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Michael Irvin. No friggin doubt. How got in so quickly is a complete testament to how political the inductions are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Lynn Swann His career stats are a joke. 336 receptions for only 5462 yrds. 51 TD is impressive as are the 4 SB's, yet he only made the Pro Bowl three times Stallworth and Monk are borderline HOF's as well. I think Andre Reed should be in if they let these guys in even given the greater frequency of passing in Reed's era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, Swann was well before my time but it was entirely different league. Plus, his best games can in the biggest ones. Wes Welker will probably be top 10 catches when he's done but couldn't touch Swann's impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Harry Carson, who should have NEVER been selected over Thurman Thomas, if at all!!! If he can get in, then they had better put Cornelius Bennett in. It was by far the worst HOF selection I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Grid Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Steve Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Steve Young. Steve Young. IMO, was arguably the best quarterback of all-time. If I HAD to pick one guy, he would be it. He did everything great. Threw long, short, for accuracy,could run long or short, speed and power, could scramble, throw on the run, and was a winner. There wasn't anything he couldn't do, and was excellent at all of them. Easily the best all around quarterback, one could argue that someone like Montana won more championships, but Young won the SB, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Michael Irvin. When asked tonight who he thought should be in out of all the recievers he said Reed. He gave nice props to AR. Just thought I'd bring that up. Steve Young. IMO, was arguably the best quarterback of all-time. If I HAD to pick one guy, he would be it. He did everything great.

No way that Deion Sanders is a Hall of Famer and Andre Reid is not. Sanders had nowhere near a hall of fame career, while Reid clearly did. The whole thing is a joke.
