StHustle Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 No, no, no. Not as a OBL host or broadcaster or any of those things he seems to receive a fair share of criticism on...but as one of the (if not THE) best special teamers in NFL history. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27310440/hall-fame-induct-20-class-2020 In 2020, ten "senior" NFL retirees will be inducted into the Hall so it looks to be the be shot he'll ever have. I think most here would say he deserves it, however, does being part of such a large class somewhat diminsh the accomplishment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradobillsfan Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Sal doesn't think he's eligible @SalSports The HOF might select 10 senior members in 2020 as part of their special Centennial Class. I've always felt that may be Steve Tasker's best chance to make it, via Senior route. Eligibility is having been retired 25 years. In 2020, Tasker will have been retired 24 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so his broadcasting leaves quite a bit to be desired, but Steve Tasker certainly deserves his place in the hall. Tasker's special teams play in the 1990's helped revolutionize the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I’ll settle for Butch Byrd then. If they won’t put him on the Wall of Fame, they can put him in the Hall of Fame. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hull should go before Tasker, IMO. But no doubt Tasker belongs as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 If the idea that special teams is one third of the game and often an important influence on outcomes is more than just lip service, then yeah, Tasker should get in. He heavily influences outcomes from several different special teams positions; from rushing kickers and punters to being a gunner making big stops, to returns. NOBODY before or since has played so many different ST roles at such a high level. He should already be enshrined in Canton. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threedollabills Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I hope that the Taskmaster gener-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-ral gets in before death. He truly was an absolute killer on STs and likely quite experienced with STD's as well (sexually transmitted diseases, if left untreated, can also result in mental illness so maybe STEVE-O's "condition" may not just be related to on-the-field football only). Must say though that I'm getting used to him on MSG/WGR btw; it's kinda fun to watch/hear the way interviewees try to figure out what he is actually asking. GO BILLS! GO TASKMASTER GENERAL STEVE-O!!! Buffalo fans the world over are totally down with your non-psychotic version of CTE my dude. #keepstammeringweloveit:) Edited August 3, 2019 by Threedollabills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand him not getting in if Ray Guy never got in. But with Guy in if Tasker doesn’t at least eventually get in that would be disgraceful.

BringBackFergy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 If Tasker gets in then the NFL Hall or Fame is nothing more than the “Who’s Who of College Students”. If you have a pulse and pay $39.95, you get in. Shoot, next inductee might as well be Todd Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Billieve Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I think if you're the GOAT of pretty much any roll you should get in, even holder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
