NewEra Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Poor Steve. Great career. Too bad he has to stress out about this every year to inevitably never get that yellow jacket. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 With Devin Hester a near lock, I gotta think it’s a tough year for Tasker to try and get 2 ST guys through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I don't think there's a lock anywhere on the list. Tasker might actually have a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicharito Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Besides Vince Wilfork and Steve smith I don’t see anyone else as a legitimate lock. But yes poor tasker he should’ve been in years ago. You talk about a guy that made special teams players an asset it’s him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 That sucks. So Hester, Andre Johnson, and Demarcus Ware are the only 1st-year eligibles along with a bunch of also-rans? They should just skip this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, just my opinion, but the special meaning of the HOF has been watered down. Ronde Barber?? The HOF should only induct 1 or 2 a year. These lists, in recent years, lack significance and are unimpressive to me. A long career should not equate to a HOF career. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Costa Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Too bad , it would be good for the overall view of the game if a guy like him actually made the HOF. He was the best gunner ever. That should count for something. People would realize games are won & lost on ST weekly. If great teams like the Bills had during the SB run needed a guy like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I couldn’t vote yes for a single one of them. Boselli is the only one who was truly elite, but he didn’t play long enough…. I guess Hester was pretty great too at what he did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Made big plays on every teams. The Bills do not go to 4 straight Superbowls without Tasker. He made too many game altering plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barber is easily a hall of famer. Amazing player and one of the most important parts of one of the top 1-3 defenses in history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re talking about the hall of fame…yellow jacket. While he’s def the best punt returner ever, I don’t think he’s even close to the best KO returner ever. If Tasker never gets in, either should Hester imo. Tasker has been known as the best ST player ever for the last 25+ years. Hester is the best punt returner ever…..but not the best KO returner ever. Maybe it’s me being a homer, but I think it would be ******* if Hester gets in first. But the nfl is all about TDs and Hester has lots 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) There are great players on this list, but there is not one player that I think "hall of fame" when thinking of the very best. Boselli, Ware, Hester, Andre Johnson, Jared Allen and Patrick Willis (for short periods of time) were among the best at their positions, so these would be the players I would most consider. Still, I don't think any of these players were significantly more important individually to their position or team's success than Tasker.

klos63 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I usually don't get to caught up in Hall of Fame selections, but it's ridiculous that arguably the greatest, most valuable special teams player ever is not in the HOF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, a long career should not equate to a HOF career. But wait until Frank Gore gets eligible. He was never close to being the best back in the NFL for any season, but he kept on chugging along, and now is among the career leaders. The lazy voters will look at stats, not capability or impact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
