Man Walter Payton man. People forget how good he was. Set the mark at rushing, receiving from backfield, best blocking HB you’ll see, and literally was backup punter and third string QB, and actually played those positions in spots. And did it all on a team that was terrible for most of his...

i’m not really qualified to evaluate OL, except by the grandma test. i always viewed faneca like curtis martin. hall of pretty dang good for a long while?

love the discussion. foreman would be high on my offense list. otis was a better curtis martin in his era but don’t know if the veterans committee has much rationale. don’t see waters either. craig yes, on impact. on d, imo woodson and lynch are no brainers. lake imo is a good bit below...

Davis being there is a joke. It really ruins the place because it's so unsupportable and shines such glare on other omissions. But this is a good discussion, because I now am coming to the view that the single biggest omission going is Sterling Sharpe. Curious for suggestions as to who else...

Davis is the guy who really outta be voted out because he ruins all the arguments. Guy had three good seasons. On an offense set up for the RB. he makes it impossible to defend some of the exclusions. but sharpe imo merits it on greatness. craig on significance. made me laugh when i...

I respect the heck out of roger craig. he was a close call. imo he shoulda gotten it on significance because of the team outcomes. the steelers got guys in that way. and, again, a Hall that admits T Davis and not R Craig is not doing it right. At all. But I do want to point out, Payton was...

Help me out with the context here. Sharpe's career was so much better than T. Davis's. Sharpe played longer before injury, did more. Was more elite. Heck, Sterling > Shannon in TDs, injuries aside. Don't see why he's not a glaring omission at this point. Monk and Lofton were 1x all pro...

Anyone would have benefitted from playing behind probably the best OL ever. Gore included. Imagine any of the greats behind that line. Sanders would probably benefit the most because he lost yards in the backfield more often than most top backs, and that would radically shrink behind the...

Don't let the 800 million posts fool you. I'm new to the Interwebz.

I honestly think he may have been the second best WR ever behind Rice. His peak performance was really spectacular and that was a different era. He was certainly top 4 in my view.

Que?

Frank Gore vs. Curtis Martin: Gore has more yards rushing and a higher yard per carry average. They have the same number of TDs.

Grew up a Bears fan also. To be honest, Sharpe and Rice were way better than Brown. Tim Brown played 17 years and was 1st team all pro once. Sterling Sharpe played 7 seasons and got it 3x.

I respect Emmit. He wasn't the best RB I ever saw, but he was **** good, and **** reliable. There are guys who were flashier, and I'll always put my $ on Walter as the goat, but you cannot go wrong with Emmit Smith. /cool story bro

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, dude.

You know what's funny. Sterling Sharpe had more TDs in his 7 years than Shannon Sharpe had in 14. Shannon was **** good but Sterling Sharpe was genuinely one of the few best WR ever and had he not got hurt, would be rightthere with Rice, Moss, Owens. It's a frickin crime that Terrell Davis is...

Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe, you aint gots to go that far.

Also - terrell davis got the jacket for 3 years. It's amazing, really. What a weird decision by the HOF.

Gore is going to be a first ballot HOF. There's no argument against him. If he's the shining example of a guy who played very effin good for 16 years, then booyah, 16,000 yards and 100 TDs gets you to the HOF. And Gore has a LOT more TDs than Sharpe, so Shannon should really STFU. Gore had...

Also, Ray Lewis is highest ranked defensive player ever and just shy of highest ranked non-QB ever (Jerry Rice edges him out).
