I hope he does. The more Canes the better. Campbell certainly has had a great NFL career. I can't imagine what a terror Ted would have been in today's game. Rush DE didn't really existed back in his day; he was custom made for it. Fast, tall, massive wingspan and immense arm and hand strength.
Not sure what to say about that. Scheme impacts a lot of things, including stats. Stats impact awards and HOF voting. It is what it is. Saying he would have had better stats in another scheme doesn’t really help. Baseball’s worse - what stadium you play in has a big impact on stats. For both pitchers and hitters. I agree with your view, fwiw.
It’s not just an argument. It’s literally what he was in the pros.
Yeah you're right. I meant your can argue that since he was LB in pros he doesn't count as first DE and not be wrong. But I watched Ted from HS on and have soft spot for him. As Playmaker said about him, he was a Cane before there were Canes -- I always took that to mean that Stork was frigging wild and crazy mother.
He was prolly the goat cane. No argument there. DE at Miami. But if we’re talking Canton, he was an OLB.
Jessie Armstead was 4x first team all pro and 5x pro bowl. And won a SB. That is closer to HOF worthy than CC, who was 1x first team all pro and 2x second team.
Nice to be able debate position of our player in the HOF. Shula drafted him to Colts before going to the Dolphins with the intent to make him a OLB. Ted was your basic tweeter back then. Little small to have the heavy running game of the day in NFL and little to slow to cover backs. Back in the day, Ted had the singular privilege of being the only player Jimmy the Greek gave one point to whatever team he was on. He claimed that Ted blocked a kick, cause a fumble, or made a pick in every game(might have included punt too but I can't remember for sure). Sadly, Joe Robbie passed on a chance to sign Ted later in his career. Joe said he was over the hill. Al Davis disagreed and set couple 1st picks to Packers for him. Ted played 9 more years.
