UncleEarl Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Both are borderline, but Ken has the stats to back him up. That's a lot harder for an OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 The Veteran Committee is meeting right now. They will nominate up to three players, and no player ever nominated by them has NOT been selected to the Hall. So, in essence, this is the day Kenny hopefully gets in. I predict these three: Ken Anderson - All he did during his 16-year career was lead the NFL in passer rating four times. Randy Gradishar - A pivotal member of Denver's "Orange Crush" defense during the 1970s and '80s. Sterling Sharpe - Simply a great player. During his era, only the greatest receiver of all time – Jerry Rice – was better. with Al Wistert - the best lineman on a team that reached the championship game three years in a row. He should've been elected to the Hall decades ago - as the man next up if any of these three aren't selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatternMaster Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I think Anderson gets in, I saw Munoz on TV talking him up which was a first for Anderson getting national media coverage. Big Willie will get in but he's going to have to wait a while, but he's in the Ring of Honor, so he has an orange jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 https://howtheyplay.com/team-sports/Top-10-Quarterbacks-Not-in-the-Pro-Football-Hall-of-Fame 1. Ken Anderson NFL Draft: 67th pick in the 3rd round of the 1971 Draft NFL Career: 1971-1986 Accolades: MVP award, first team All-Pro selection, second team All-Pro selection, four-time Pro Bowl selection After being drafted in 1971 by the Cincinnati Bengals, Ken Anderson was named the starting quarterback in his second year. He became the first quarterback to implement Bill Walsh's west coast offense and have success with it. He was praised for being one of the most consistent quarterbacks to come out of the 70s and 80s. Anderson set the bar for completion percentage in the decades he played, as well as being underrated for his play. He finished his career with four Pro Bowl selections. He had two seasons leading the league in passing and was awarded the MVP award in 1981. Why Is Ken Anderson Not in the Hall of Fame? The big glare on his career was the Super Bowl loss to San Francisco in the 1981 season. Although he played well, he never did enough to get past the other teams in the division, like Pittsburgh and Houston. Anderson's stats make him worthy to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His touchdown to interception ratio alone is better than a lot of quarterbacks that are already in Canton. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Boomer is number 7 on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that that smug, crybaby bitch is in the hall when Anderson isn’t pisses me off the most. Especially since they punched the Chargers in the dick, twice, in ‘81. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
