Marvin or Tim Brown for the Hall?

[oldunclemark]

Marvin Harrison would appear to have an outside chance of being in the Hall of Fame Class of 2015

,,..but they wont take 2 recievsr. will they?

Marvin or Touchdown Timmy Brown?

[bestQBever]

Marvin for sure, more catches, more touchdowns, and most of all a super bowl championship.

[theanarchist]

IDK, maybe they'll take 2. Honestly I saw both play. Marvin more than Time of course but I would say that in trying to be objective as best I can that Marvin was the better player. JMO

[oldunclemark]

Is Kurt Warner in? Jerome Bettis? Terrell Davis?

[crazycolt1]

That's a tough question. As a Colt fan I want Marvin but Tim has been passed over way over too many times. I always though that Tim was one of the top receivers in history but was stuck with the Raiders and that hurt his numbers big time. Had he had a high caliber QB he would have been off the charts. Tim was a 9 time pro bowler and the first receiver ever to win a Heisman. He has been passed over 6 times. That is sad in my book. I don't quite understand why receivers have a hard time getting into the HOF?

Tim Brown is not in the Hall of Fame? I so shocked. He belongs there, no question about it. 

[NFLfan]

Is Kurt Warner in? Jerome Bettis? Terrell Davis?

Of those 3, I think Warner has the best chance.

Who I would like to see make it:

Dungy, Lynch, Warner, Harrison, and Mick Tingelhoff (long-time Viking center)

Charles Haley (long overdue, IMO)

Seau & Pace are shoo ins. Polian and Wolf should be too.

Mick Tinglehoff's induction would continue a string of players who played most of their careers with the Vikings and have been inducted into the HOF in the last 8 or so years (Randall McDaniel, John Randle, Chris Doleman, Gary Zimmerman, and Cris Carter). Randy Moss should be coming soon. Too bad we have no SBs to show for it.

[SteelDragon]

Marvin by a wide margin

I totally agree. I know most Colt fans feel Harrison should go as he should but not before Brown. Hopefully both get in this year.

Good post. I forgot to mention Tim Brown in my earlier post. When I first began following football in the 90s, Tim Brown was one of my favorite players. He was a great receiver. He was also a very good punt and kick returner. Yes, he deserves HOF induction. It will come.

Tingelhoff was one heck of a center.  That is an excellent choice!!

 

To topic:  I take Tim Brown first...Marvin second.  Tim was indeed a touchdown machine in college and Pros.

[OffensivelyPC]

Tough call.  Hard to say what Tim Brown would have accomplsiehd if he played with Peyton, but as it turned out, gotta go with Marvin. 

[Blue Horseshoe]

I think they take Brown this year and Harrison next year.

Not really a statement on either man's career as they are really pretty equal so just take them in order of retirement.

[BOTT]

Harrison and I think it's a lock he goes in. Harrison and Brown both should have gone in before Andre Reed

[oldunclemark]

NFL man...I guess the problem is they limit how many can go in in any year..

...they take 5 players..and 2 'contributors' like Polian? is that right?

Tony Dungy and Jimmy Johnson...will have a tough time getting in

[The Old Crow]

When is Mike Curtis getting in ?

[ricker182]

They really need to grow some sense and put both in this year.  

It's ridiculous they both aren't in already.

[BloodyChamp]

Another thing about Brown is that he was still pretty good until the very end even after he'd lost a step.

[Fx Stryker]

The WR waiting line.

Tim Brown waited his turn, it's now his time. Marvin's turn is next year. Just how the clogged WR train works.

[Cynjin]

My biased opinion is that Marvin was the better receiver and should go in first. I never understood the wait your turn attitude with the voters, if your choice is between two or three players that played the same position put the one in that was the best.

[dgambill]

I agree Brown should go. Not only a great wr but a great special teamer too. Did not have the luck to play with a HOF QB his whole career either. He was basically the MAN in OAK with no help for a long time. Great player. Not saying he is better than Marvin (thats a good debate) but he deserves to go first.

Can you judge a guys hall of fame credentials based of who he played with?

Just asking?

[Gramz]

Here are my 5 picks for this year.

 

Marvin Harrison

Junior Seau

Terrell Davis

Kurt Warner

Orlando Pace

Marvin Harrison

Junior Seau

Terrell Davis

Kurt Warner

Orlando Pace

I like your picks except Terrell Davis. I don't know but I never saw him as being great. He was great in the SB but when I think of Terrell Davis, I don't think of a Hall of Fame player... Now watch him get voted in this year.

I think Charles Haley and Tim Brown are more deserving, but that is just my opinion. I think Polian and/or Ron Wolf should make it.

[oldunclemark]

To all...if Terrell Davis didn't have a long enough career to be a Hall of Famer...as some have said

..how did Kurt Warner?

[oldunclemark]

word leaks early that Jerome Bettis is in the Hall of Fame..

that is a surprise and it means that someone who is expected to make it,.,..wont

I havn't heard any "leaks" yet Mark.  Where are you getting your info?

[RockThatBlue]

Ron Wolf and Bettis are in

[oldunclemark]

ESPN is running it across the bottom of the screen on college basketball

[oldunclemark]

Ron Wolf and Bettis are in

Ron Wolf..in means Bill Polian probably wont be, right?

[MTC]

Marvin will get in eventually, I'm not mad. 

[oldunclemark]

Tim, not Marvin

no Terrell davis/.no Kurt Warner

[JerodMayo51]

It would be a tragedy if Marvin Harrison didn't make it in as a first ballot guy, he was an exceptional WR his entire career and made a lot of big time plays

[jvan1973]

Marvin gets in next year, no question

[jvan1973]

Marvin was on the ballot last year

[oldunclemark]

Marvin gets in next year, no question

His numbers are so strong......he's got to make it

[Gramz]

Bummed if Marvin didn't make it.     Who is voting for these guys?

[NFLfan]

Ron Wolf..in means Bill Polian probably wont be, right?

Polian is in.

[oldunclemark]

good news....

[Narcosys]

So how does that work. The guy that's farther behind in stats gets picked and the harrison didn't?
