KA14_HOF Posted November 20 Report Posted November 20 Vinatieri may be a 1st-ballot inductee. I'd put him in for his 45-yard game-tying FG vs the Raiders in 3 feet of snow in the "Tuck Rule" game alone. (greatest FG in NFL history, IMO, just a whisker ahead of Tom Dempsey's 63-yarder in 1970) I can see Yanda and Gates too. Willie absolutely should get in, but he's as likely to get the respect he deserves as Rodney Dangerfield was. Was there any word on the list for the Senior Players? (i.e. Ken Anderson) 1 Quote

Le Tigre Posted November 21 Report Posted November 21 The older I get…the older I feel. Especially when most of the “senior” players I watched play. Well, not “Tank” Younger. Would be a well-deserved honor for a man who played FB/HB/LB in most games at a high level. 1 1 Quote

I have Jaared Allen James Harrison Rodney Harrison Eli Manning Vinnitari Plunkett Craig Plunkett...odd case. 2 time SB winner goes a long way but his career was mired in mediocrity. I don't think a kicker goes in this year either.. Manning and Rodney Harrison seem logical and worthy. Im thinking Lester Hayes has a good chance as well. Gimme Antonio Gates to round out the top 4 for induction. 1 Quote

I couldn't stand that fuck. He shouldn't be a shoo-in. He was a superbowl MVP but so were a bunch of other guys nobody has heard from since. He has decent career totals but was a compiler and nobody was afraid of him or gameplanned around him. Not HOF material. 1 Quote
