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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

Here are my 5 picks for this year.

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.

      Can the Colts replace the 8 bit helmet logo with a horeshoe

      By TigerColt · Posted

      I get the “old school” mentality of the current logo but it would look very sharp to have a horseshoe on the field instead.  I have to admit I cringe when I see the low quality helmet logo when watching home games

      2024 NBA, Pacers and all NBA talk

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      The Pacers by winning last night gives them their 11th appearance in the Final 8 as an NBA franchise since the league went to 16 teams in 1984 making the playoffs. 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2024.   -Eastern Conference Finals appearances = 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2013, 2014. (8)   -NBA Finals appearances = 2000. (1)   -No NBA Championships but still a very good franchise looking at those numbers. The year the Pacers won the East (2000), they had to face Shaq, Kobe, and Phil otherwise we win it all that season and Reggie has his ring.    -I will go by since 1984 but here is my all-time Pacers team since 1984: PG - TY Haliburton SG - Reggie Miller SF - Paul George PF - Myles Turner (I have Turner here/Rik is my Center. C - Rik Smits 6th Man - PF - David West   My HeadCoach is Larry Bird. From 1998-2000 he made the Conference Finals in all 3 seasons he coached and the Finals in 2000.

      Erlinger’s replacement

      By Shive · Posted

      I could see Slovis challenging Ehlinger for QB3. He's more athletic than Ehlinger and showed flashes of a potential 1st round QB prospect as a freshman at USC. Some stability and a chance to reset might be exactly what he needs. His upside is WAY higher than Ehlinger's and we've already seen him do it. It's just a matter of if he can get back to that level of play.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By DougDew · Posted

      I don't understand this, so please explain.     This is how I see it based upon what we know.   By accounts, Purdy has played better than Jimmy G.  If you believe the training camp stories where the players were telling media and the coaches that Purdy was the real deal when he got a chance to play in TC, Purdy was good right away and need little actual development by NFL coaches.   If Lynch knew this would happen, why did he wait until the very last pick of the drat to select Purdy?  To say it wasn't luck, but rather skill and knowledge, you'd have to believe that...going into the draft... Lynch knew Purdy would be good (or else why pick him), and also knew that not one other team thought he would be good, so he knew he could just wait until pick 250..    He knew the other GMs thought Purdy would not even be even good right away, but not even a good enough prospect to take a flyer on him and snipe him at pick 249?  Sure, he benefits from Shanahan's system, but my goodness, his success is not THAT system dependent that some team would not have selected him in round 4, 5, 6, 7. with all of the comp picks added on as merely a prospect.  They all ignored Purdy.      How do folks hold the GM player evaluation process in such high regard when we all know that GMs miss.  Both with picking busts and missing good players.  Why is pointing that out a negative?  We all know it.  And why does Ballard deserve to be shielded from it?

      Shedeur Sanders won’t be a 1st round QB next year

      By chad72 · Posted

      Maybe he needs lessons in how to manage his image and draft stock as the more he does this type of stuff, he could drop out of the Top 5 that his Dad feels he would go at. With 6 teams taking QBs this year, and 3 last year, in Round 1, the demand won't be as high and the supply will still be good enough. If his OL doesn't protect him well like during their losing streak, is he going to throw his OL under the bus next? I rarely see Deion or Shedeur taking ownership of their on the field issues or have the humility to say "it was my fault". They talk like they are in denial that a team could shellack them or they always lost to a team that they could have beat, that is the impression that I get, and it gets old.
