Sweats Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 That dude does not belong in the HOF, but as posters have stated before, it's now the HOD (the Hall of Decent) and no longer reserved for the very best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I’m not saying he should or should not be in the HOF, but he was a DT, so sacks are not the be all, end all for their evaluations. I’m sure if I want to do the homework, which I won’t, other DT’s in the HOF probably had similar sack stats, but it is the other aspects of their play that matters. Anyway, I am truly not advocating, nor not advocating he should be in the Hall. You guys might be right in terms of his media play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Nobody really knows. He was a very good player but definitely not a HOF worthy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coffin Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Deion Sanders is right about the NFL HOF. They let too many people in. It doesn't feel exclusive. You got guys like Jerry Rice venerated in the same location of guys like Art Monk and Lynn Swann. It's kind of a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 If you actually watched Howie Long you would say he is a Hall of Famer. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBills1998 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) No he is not Hall of Famer. Really good And productive player for his time but not HOF worthy at all. Jake Scott and Dick Anderson from the 70s Miami Dolphin teams deserve to be in the HOF before someone like Long Edited February 3, 2020 by BuffaloBills1998 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on 2BD can you see a bunch of young guys using stats from another era and definitevly hear them state that HOFer clearly doesn't belong. SMH Edited February 3, 2020 by D. L.

What a disingenuous answer. Tasker is a local guy, that has done some national games. His national media presence has never been even close to Long's...but you know that. Long is the center seat on the FOX broadcast for ***** sake. Why do you need to resort to such lame comparisons? Blocked.
