JP51 Posted September 23 Posted September 23 (edited) 15 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Hopefull this is a fun topic for early in the week. There are so many amazing players in the NFL now. Generational talents in many cases. These are the players that I think will be first ballot HOF in no particular order. Decent mix of offense and defense. Zach Martin retired this year so he is not on the list but he is first ballot HOF for sure. I feel like I am missing other OL and DBs. Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes Aaron Rodgers Derrick Henry Mike Evans Lamar Jackson Bobbie Wagner Fred Warner Trent Williams Travis Kelce Chris Jones Myles Garrett TJ Watt Cameron Heyward Joel Bitonio Too soon to tell but have a really good chance Penei Sewell Ja'marr Chase Justin Jefferson Patrick Surtain Several young QBs that have a lot to prove yet Probably need to wait until year 2 of eligibility Matthew Stafford Lane Johnson DeAndre Hopkins I think D Hop gets in right away Edited September 23 by JP51 1 Quote

Glory doesn’t pay for paternity suits, child support, lawyers, legal fees. Not that he can’t afford it. Though, I could see him going the Antonio Brown post career route. Quote

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted September 23 Posted September 23 He's really damaged his reputation the last few years, but what about Russell Wilson? 10x pro bowl, 1x 2nd team all-pro, 1 SB ring. Every single eligible player with 10+ pro bowls is in the HOF. 1 Quote

And yes, Adams, Hopkins, Hill, and DIggs were top 4 WRs in the league at the same time each with different skill sets. I do think longevity stats matter though especially for WR. Hill has been a top receiver in the league for a long time, so it’s not like he’s a flash in the pan, and of course, his career is hardly over. At his peak, Hill was better than Adams, Hopkins or Diggs at their peaks. He was literally uncoverable, and he almost never dropped a pass. He also has some impressive kick and punt return credentials from early in his career. He is a sure-fire hall of fame player. (I couldn’t care less which ballot he gets in on. That’s not really a thing.) Quote
GASabresIUFan Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Jalen Ramsey (please don't shoot the messenger). 3 time 1st team all-pro and won a Super Bowl. Like him or hate him, the peak for his career was excellent. Maybe not a 1st ballot guy, but certainly in the HOF conversation. 1 Quote

And deserves to as well. 16 hours ago, GoBills808 said: danielle hunter maybe cam jordan has a shot Cam Jordan I think will get in but he feels like one of those guys that is a multiple semi finalist before he makes it. Like I can see it being his 5th or 6th time on the shortlist before he is in. I'd be surprised if Hunter makes it based on what he has done to this point. But if he went on another few seasons piling up stats then the weight of numbers might give him a case. Quote

Every single eligible player with 10+ pro bowls is in the HOF. (we need an “I, love you, you’re a great person, but would like to counter your point , instead of the I HATE YOU! red X) Russell Wilson Jr. III was gifted one of the greatest defenses in history to allow his cute little curly haired ass to tuck it and Boston Dynamics stride to a slide, or touch heaven with sky balls of all yardages. Nah, not before Jim McMahon, for so many reasons. Quote
Chicken Boo Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Matt Stafford has a longer wait than most think. I can't think of a time where he was considered top 3 at the QB position. 3 hours ago, chongli said: Not necessarily first-ballot, but: Oh, and notice Jets: "None", Patriots: "None", lol.

Mostly good list. Disagree with three. Lamb, Kamara, and McCaffrey are not making the HOF. 1 Quote

The emphasis going forward, Derrick Henry aside, is a dual threat running back. Something he’s the best, if not the best at. He’s got a good chance imo. Quote

Sherman has hated him since the interception on the goal line. That’s nothing new. I think Russ is kinda interesting though, because it does feel like his case gets weaker as the years go on. Its sorta like if Jalen Hurts had some great individual seasons but didn’t win much, then got old and fell apart. Edited September 28 by FireChans Quote
