Dragonborn10 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Woodson just named top 100 in his 18th season. 60 career INT's. 8 Pro Bowls I think Reed and Woodson are first ballot HOF inductees. What do you think? On another note how many votes do you think Darren Sharper will get if it is supposed to be only based on his on-field activities???

boyst Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Saw him play in high school at Fremont Ross. He has had skill his entire life. Playing corner he did a back pedal 5 yards off the LOS. Still made it all the way across the field to tackle the RB for a 7 yard loss on an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Woodson is first ballot, while sharper had some good years I never thought of Darren sharper as a star or HOF worthy player Neither did I but he has more career INT's than Woodson and Lott. Only 1 less than Reed. INT's not the entire story of a safeties career but every other player with that many INT's is in the HOF.

Rico Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 He's a deserving 1st-ballot HOF-er primarily for his longevity, being a consistently solid player for so long... but Ed Reed is still more worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Why do we have to make a choice? Ed Reed will obviously be a first ballot hall of famer. Charles Woodson will probably/almost certainly be a first ballot hall of famer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Without a doubt he will be first ballot. 8 time pro-bowler and a 7 team all pro. Played in a Super Bowl with Oakland and won one with Green Bay. Very good player in the pros for a very long time. No doubt he makes it in when he decides to hang it up and becomes eligible.

FluffHead Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Woodson also won defensive player of the year. I may be wrong but it seems like there haven't been a ton of DBs to win that award Edit: only four since 1994: Deion Sanders, Ed Reed, Bob Sanders, Charles Woodson Edited June 2, 2015 by FluffHead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I hear these arguments for it seems like everyone who is brought up is instantly a first ballot HOF. There are only 5 each year plus the senior person and the contributor now. I'm confident Woodson will get in the Hall, but it's timing as to whether a first ballot. I'm not minimizing his contribution, just placing in persepctive as to when he goes in. How many years did it take for Reed? That was all about the log jam for all of those top WR.

BillsFanM.D. Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 To borrow a line from one of the 'would ya' threads.... "Is this even a question?" Woodson is a first ballot slam dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Saw him play in high school at Fremont Ross. He has had skill his entire life. Playing corner he did a back pedal 5 yards off the LOS. Still made it all the way across the field to tackle the RB for a 7 yard loss on an option. I also saw him in high school, simply an unbelievable athlete. I remember the team I saw him against basically gameplanned to not allow a home run and there were several plays he almost ran a straight line from the backfield to out of bounds a yard past the first down marker without being touched.

C.Biscuit97 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Is this even a question? He is one of the most versatile defensive players ever. He is a game changer and still productive at 67. First ballot no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 He is a slam dunk Hall of Famer. I am not quite as convinced on him being first ballot. I would say Ed Reed is a slam dunk first ballot guy. Woodson could well be a first ballot but equally might take him a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrivefourfive Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 When Ed Reed stripped the ball from his own fat lineman in college and then ran for a touchdown, he showed us what a ballhawk he really is. Woodson, you can't do much better. He's a 1st ballot all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 If Woodson goes on the first ballot, I won't be upset or surprised. He deserves it. But, Thurman Thomas wasn't a first ballot HOFer. Woodson is a great player who will get into the HOF but Thomas's example shows sometimes even great players have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
