MrEpsYtown Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Tasker needs to get in. Also getting annoyed at how easy it is for recievers to get in all of a sudden. Andre had to wait, Art Monk. It's dumb that it is so easy all of a sudden. Edgar Martinez needs to get in too. But we probably don't need to worry too much about the HOF for a while.

folz Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Should be a no brainer: Don Coryell Isaac Bruce Tony Gonzales Second Tier: Ed Reed Tom Flores I'm not 100% sold on any of the other candidates as sure HOFs. How Tasker isn't in there ahead of some of those guys is mind boggling. Wish the voters would give up their bias against special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 How is Atwater not in already!? That's an oversight. Champ Baily deserves it. He played in like 1 million pro bowls and was the dominant CB in his time. Gonzalez will certainly get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest( with all due respect to Mawae) can wait another year. How many are inducted every year by the way? Is there a limit? They vote 6 in each year, which I don't like. That's why some years they all make sense while in other years they dig into the past. I like how how baseball does it and I thought it was great a few years ago when they didn't vote anyone in. Some of the supposed PED users were eligible and the voters didn't put them in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 If these are the quality of the guys getting in, then it's only a matter of time for Tasker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Ed Reed is the lockiest of locks. He wasn't just the best safety in the National Football League for a decade.... he was one of the best players in the NFL for a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 8 hours ago, whatdrought said: I can’t tell if they’re letting lesser players in, or if it’s just because they lose some of the legend status when you grew up watching them... Richard Seymour seems like a stretch to me. One of the podcasts I used to listen to would always talk about The Hall of Very Good rather than the HOF, and there are a lot of players I think belong in there. As you say though, maybe when you see these guys as an adult it takes away some of the mystique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t deserve to last to a third year on the writer’s ballot, a total travesty!! Seems most every year Canton puts in an offensive lineman and someone long retired that was very good for his day or a coach or builder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fame"...as in "famous" The sole criteria is that you made yourself a household name as a player/coach....and then sucked up to the committee. Seymour fits that bill and it helps that he was on the most successful team ever. Tasker's gonna need to start a campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should get in before Champ imho I'll take Champ over Atwater personally any time. Seems Atwater gets hyped for hard hits more than anything which I don't really care about when Champ looked to me just a more finesse player just as efficient, if not more than Atwater, at tackling and otherwise much better in coverage. I guess if Atwater is a lock, which he probably is, he goes in before Champ being older. But if I was choosing 1 to get in..

GunnerBill Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Reed, Gonzalez, Coryell, Boselli, Bruce are five I am certain I would vote for if I was in the room. I think I'd probably lean Faneca over Bailey and Hutchinson for my 6th.... but I'd take an argument either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
