Okay, gents... Your hall of fame thoughts on the following people? - Isaac Bruce - Curtis Martin - Willie Roaf - Corey Dillon - Joe Horn - Priest Holmes Some of these guys have a lot of mileage left in them. What do you think will happen at the end of their careers?
Bruce - Buy he will make it Martin - He is in no matter what Roaf - Hmmmm, undecided Dillon - Nope Horn - Nah Holmes - Not going to make it
So i say you like the Buy or Sell stuff ey? Bruce-Buy--hes a good WR Martin-I dont relly know Road-Dont know this one to Dillon-Mabe he might be in Horn-Buy--Hes a good fast WR for the Saints. Holmes-Sell--he woulnt make it he needs more stats fast!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BearsFan1)</div><div class='quotemain'>Bruce - Buy he will make it Martin - He is in no matter what Roaf - Hmmmm, undecided Dillon - Nope Horn - Nah Holmes - Not going to make it</div> I would probably lean toward the yes side of Roaf without thinking too long, but otherwise I agree with this list.
Bruce- hes good but think rod smith would be more of a fit. sell Martin- No question bout it Roaf- Linemen are always hard to decide. buy Dillon- Wait another year to see wht he can do. sell Horn- Hasnt proved n e thing much. sell Holmes- All he needs to do is be healthy. buy Rod Smith- He seems to try harder as he gets older. buy
Joe Horn a Hall of Fame WR? How many playoff games has he been in? He's already 34, why would you even put him in there? You guys have to realize something. Stats don't generally get you into the HOF. The main thing that gets you in is how many championship teams you were on, and how you performed in those games. Example, Lynn Swann. Career Stats 336 Rec 5462 Yards 16.3 YPC 51 TD's. Not great by any means. But he performed great in the playoffs, was a SB MVP, and was on 4 Super Bowl teams. Another Example, Joe Namath. 27663 Yds, 173 Td's, 220 INT's. But he led the first AFL team to a Super Bowl. Its all about how you do in the big game. I'll be interested to see how many Patriots make it to the HOF 10 years from now.

He never gives up one completion to the guy he is covering. Never makes one mistake. His team never goes to the playoffs. Does he go in HOF? Lynn Swan doesnt deserve to be in HOF. Even the MVP game i think he had only 3 catches. He was never in the top 10 in any recieving category in any year he played. He was just lucky to be on that team, there were 100's of other guys who would have done better. Joe Namath does not deserve to be in HOF for football, but maybe for running off your mouth and being lucky that someone else backed it up. If he played so great in super bowl, how come he threw 0 tds, completed only about 50% of his passes? The real story of super bowl 3, is the jets had one of the best defenses ever, and they dont get any of the credit they deserve for shutting down baltimore becuase Namath ran his mouth and stole the sunshine, and most football fans are to damn ignorant to realize it.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Art Monk should already be in. It's a slap in the face that he's not!</div> Amen, brother. I say that EVERY year. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Never makes one mistake. His team never goes to the playoffs. Does he go in HOF?</div> Dan Dierdorf is one of the only players like this. His Cardinals teams SUCKED when he was there. It was his broadcasting career, though, that got him his dues. He never faded from the limelight, so his career achievements were always "right there."
- Isaac Bruce - Yes, but Art Monk needs to go in first. - Curtis Martin - Absolutely! - Willie Roaf - Perhaps, but there are others who need to go in first like Kooch! - Corey Dillon - Too early to tell. - Joe Horn - NO! In fact, if he even plays in the Hall of Fame Game, he should receive roaming charges. (see pic) - Priest Holmes - This is the most difficult of the bunch. If he has a couple more productive seasons then I would say yes. While it's true that he got a late start and his career stats will suffer, how many players have been as valuable as Priest? Hey Mom! Can you hear me now? Mom? Mom?
