Being a very nice guy payed off for Dungy

 

Winning a super bowl as a player and a coach didn't hurt either.

 

Oh yeah, and let's not forget how he revolutionized the NFL with his version of Chuck Knoll's defense. 

 

I am also sure that how he resurrected a dead franchise in Tampa Bay helped his case. Dead doesn't really begin to explain just how terrible that franchise was.

 

First African American head coach to win a super bowl.

 

You know when you add all of this stuff up, it's kind of why the the hall of fame was implemented, right? People who stood out, and made a real difference on the game.

So Marvin couldn't even carve time into his schedule to be there with the rest of the new class of hall of famers

 

Im not going to pass judgment. It's the easy quick decision to make, but we have no idea why he wasn't there. So many possibilities.

 

If later we find that he just blew it off then yeah that's strange. But really, Marvin is a strange cat anyway.

Yes, I was disappointed  and surprised that he wasn't there, but we have no idea what the reason is.

 

Nontheless... Congratulations Marvin on this very deserving award.

haha  I guess  people can be negative about anything if they put their mind to it. :mindblow: 

 

We have two people from our SB winning organization going into the HOF in the same year and yet some here find reasons to argue about it.   :scratch:

 

I am very happy for both Tony and Marvin who are both so deserving of this honor.

Well the NFL thanks you for your opinion, but it disagrees.

Actually, the same dipstick writers who made Marvin wait three years disagrees.  I'm crushed to be at odds with that brain trust.

People always disagree with who and who doesn't get in.....there is no harm in it. The fact that they played for the Colts has no bearing.

It should if you are a Colts fan, but that is certainly in question.

 

You see Marvin Harrison will be the first ever Indianapolis Colt (start to finish) to go in the Hall of Fame. It means a lot.

I understand that people disagree on things.

 

I just think as a Colts fan most would be ecstatic to have not only one, but TWO from our organization being recognized and going in at the same time.   Something definitely worth celebrating and being proud of.

Congrats to both.  I have no argument in either getting in, but to me, Harrison was just a no-brainer.  I also think Edge should eventually get in although I don't feel he's a 1st-ballot guy and I guess the voters agree.  

 

Either way, I'm ecstatic that FINALLY, after more than 30 years in Indy, someone will represent the 'Shoe in the HOF that played in Indy.  Sure, we've had guys that played here that are in such as Dickerson and Faulk but they went in with other uniforms on.  Now someone(s) will rep the INDY Colts and I couldn't be more ecstatic.  

 

I've always maintained that the year someone wearing an Indy uni went in I would be there to witness it.  Guess I will have to hold up my end of the bargain.  And get ready for more trips in the future with Peyton and possibly Edge, Reggie, Adam, Dwight, and Robert.  So proud to be a fan of the 'Shoe tonight!

Meh, he has made it clear thru the years this stuff isn't his cup of tea.  I'm hoping his speech consists of "thank you" and then sits down.....classic Marvin.

I believe u will be there.....the real question is will Marvin? I wonder what the line will be in Vegas on him appearing. I have my doubts honestly.

I know it is a silly question but how can there be Peyton haters on a Colts forum?

 

Clearly haven't posted long here. Don't get me wrong...it's unfathoable to me too but I'd argue there are many more here than you'd expect. Many place a lot of our disappointing finishes on Peyton and many are newer fans that weren't fans until Luck got here...and in supporting their favorite player it benefits them to bring down his predecessor. The first I can understand a bit Peyton had some stinkers in the postseason but he also carried several unworthy playoff teams into the postseason too. Whatever the reason there are many haters on here...but a majority of Colts fans understand the complexity of winning it all and are objective in viewing Mannings career. No matter how he is viewed he has always carried himself with class and represented our team with excellent play and even better decorum.

    • I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? 
    • You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year. 
    • I was too hahaha  Why’s that
    • Round 1 - #15 A. Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas B. Brian Thomas, WR, LSU C. Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia   Round 2 - #46  A. Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M B. Marshall Kneeland, DE, Western Michigan C. Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State   Round 3 - #82 A. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon B. Darius Robinson, DE/DT, Missouri C. Ben Sinnott, TE, Kansas State   Round 4 - #117 A. Jalyx Hunt, DE, Houston Christian B. Mason McCormick, OG, South Dakota State C. Malik Washington, WR, Virginia   Round 5 - #151 A. Beaux Limmer, OC, Arkansas B. Tanor Bortolini, OC, Wisconsin C. Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville   Round 6 - #191 A. Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State B. Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto C. Nick Gargiulo, OC, South Carolina   Round 7 - #234 A. Millard Bradford, SS, TCU B. Mark Perry, FS, TCU C. Dalton Tucker, OG, Marshall   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  A: Yes, they will trade back.  
    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :
