GunnerBill Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Tasker will make it through the senior list at some point. That was always more likely his route than the more traditional one. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) There's a few worthy names there. Lester Hayes should have made it the traditional way. Roger Craig was a precursor to Thurman. Carl Banks and Clay Matthews I would think stand a chance as well. Kenny Anderson may be the most underrated QB of his era.

Gregg Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Look how long it took Klecko to finally get in. Steve will probably get in at some point, but I doubt this year given some of these names on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, any player's playoff record is a secondary factor. Too much else impacts those results. All the Bills from the great 90s teams got in despite losing 4 SBs, as did Tasker. Yet they all deserve to be there. So does Ken Anderson, clearly. Otis Taylor does too but he must have been caught up in the WR mess, where almost no WRs got in for years while RB after RB did. And now he's dead, before he had the chance to put on the yellow jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that’s a good question. Typically 5 in the newer category, 1 prior HC or Contributer like Polian or Ron Wolf, and 2 Seniors. I’m almost positive those are the numbers except the exception year when they let in 20. It will be unlikely he gets in his first year, but hopefully gains momentum over the next couple of years. Of non kickers, he was one of the most impactful STers in the history of the NFL. Someone else asked what can we as fans do? Well one venue you can get an audience to one of the voters is calling in on the right shows on NFLR. Vic is on Saturdays on Press Coverage, and I can’t remember, but think Pat Kirwan may also be a voter. Vic though is the one to plead Taskers case and is highly respected in the sports media. There are two committees. One for active and contributor, and a different committee for the seniors. They spend months debating their candidates, but since the voters are relatively static so if they hear Tasker’s case more than once, he has a chance.

Since1981 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I’d be annoyed by now. Imagine having the world and PR…being told again and again “hahahaa, nanana. We won’t vote you on (an island, team, club, job, fraternity)” I’m sure his life is completely full and fulfilling without this crap anymore.

There are too many average guys in the HOF. Tasker changed the game. Few in the HOF did. Yeah, why did they come up with this format that 7 guys go in every year? Is this to draw a big crowd to the HOF Festivities? In a couple recent years, the Baseball HOF elected nobody. That makes more sense. If nobody is worthy and doesn’t get the required votes, nobody gets elected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some I have never heard of, some I know only by reputation, the odd one or two I have seen old game footage of. But Steve Tasker is acknowledged as the best special teams player of all time, certainly the best of his generation. At some point the seniors committee will consider that deserves recognition in the way they did with Ray Guy. Matthew Slater will make it in as well, but like Tasker he will probably go through years of not making the cut the traditional route and have to wait for the seniors committee. I think the committee knows that it basically has to take full responsiblility for Special Teamers because they are always going to find it difficult to make it the other route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I take the homer out of me, Tasker is not in the top 3. I am not sure how this list works. Do the pick three of the 31 and then next year add to the list. Or do they pick 3 of the 31 and the other 28 are just out of further consideration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't this year or never. Eventually they will put Tasker in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
