1stgm1993 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 10 senior members get in for class of 20 this year but takser doesn't count for that as he as been only out 22-23 years and must be retired for 25 years. I really hope he gets in this year. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001080760/article/hall-of-fame-reveals-25-semifinalists-for-class-of-2020?icampaign=nflweb-push-webnotification " The Hall of Fame Board recently passed a resolution that suspended the Hall of Fame's Selection Committee Bylaws for the Class of 2020 election cycle only. The measure is intended to honor the NFL's Centennial Celebration through a special Centennial Class that will be comprised of 20 members in 2020. The group will include five Modern-Era players to come from the list announced today in addition to 10 Seniors (a player who has been retired for more than 25 seasons), three Contributors (an individual other than a player or coach) and two Coaches. The Modern-Era players list will be reduced to 15 Finalists that will be announced on Jan. 2, 2020. The finalists will then be presented to the full 48-member Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee during its annual meeting on Selection Saturday," on Feb. 1, 2020, the day before Super Bowl LIV. The Selection Committee will elect five Modern-Era players for the Class of 2020. The determination of the Seniors, Contributors and Coaches will be made by a special 25-person Centennial "Blue-Ribbon" Panel who will review the backlog of deserving Seniors, Coaches and Contributors. The Blue-Ribbon Panel is comprised of Hall of Fame Selectors, Pro Football Hall of Famers, media members, football historians and industry experts. The Pro Football Hall of Fameâs Class of 2020 will be introduced during NFL Honors, a two-hour prime-time awards special to air nationally on the eve of Super Bowl LIV at 9 p.m. (ET and PT) on FOX. The Centennial Class of 2020 will be formally enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame during the annual Enshrinement Week Powered by Johnson Controls from Aug. 6-9, 2020 and the Centennial Celebration in Canton on Sept. 16-19, 2020. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could make the case for all of them. The ones that definitely stick out as musts are: Boselli & Polamalu.... but again, they all seem deserving.

class_of_2012 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Steve Tasker!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I think with Lynch as a GM, and who the committee is made up of, he will be selected, and likely deserves it. Not to mention he has turned around a struggling franchise is short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one with a WOW factor when thinking about their playing days. Solid players all around for sure. I guess Polamalu would be the leader of the pack? Would love to see Tasker get in with this class too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see Tasker get in with this class too. Lots of solid players but nobody i would say HAS to get in...probably Polamalu is the best of the bunch i would agree... If I had to vote for 5 I'd probably go with Polamalu Boselli(he neutralized Bruce Smith in his prime one on one with no help several times....enough said) Bruce Willis(while he had a short career he dominated) Atwater Edited November 26, 2019 by matter2003 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The most deserving Bills IMHO who didn't make the cut were Kent Hull, C-Biscuit, Talley. I did notice that Takeo, London, and Spielman all made the first cut but not the next 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time the league recognizes how great he was at a a non celebrated role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 It is shocking that Atwater is not already in the HOF. The man was a true superstar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Extremely easy to write the history of the gams without using any of those names. If anything, Tasker may be the most worthy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 what happened, all the eligible immortals are already voted in? well.... you won't be worrying about RBs any more, which used to matter in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to start opening the gates for some of these ST guys. Not many of them, but if there are kickers and punters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Polamalu is a legit star. He gets in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I did a double take when I saw his name. Patrick Willis and Edgerrin James are interesting names for me, considering their career lengths. But if Terrell Davis got in, then they should too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
