Bill Swerski Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) Favre Tomlinson Harisson Gonzalez Strahan Ray Ray to name a few of the top of my head... Agreed. I'll add Manning, Brady, Curtis Martin (he's still technically playing, no?), and Holt to that list. Alexander has a good shot as well.

muck Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I was thinking about this last night while thinking about ARI. I'd bet that Kurt Warner is going to be the only NFL'er in the history of the league to win two MVP trophies, own a SB ring and have won a SB MVP to not make the HOF. Others who'll definately get in: Junior Seau Willie Roaf Shaun Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) Larry Allen +1 Will Shields and Willie Roaf as well. Kevin Mawae might be deserving, but centers tend to get disrespected by Canton. Edited October 4, 2006 by Bill Swerski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primetime9287 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) Torry Holt - Seems like he could have a chance to be the all-time leader for receiving yards with how well he did so early. 1999 - 788 yds 2000 - 1,635 yds 2001 - 1,363 yds 2002 - 1,302 yds 2003 - 1,696 yds 2004 - 1,372 yds 2005 - 1,331 yds 2006 - 332 yds (4 games) Total - 9,819 yds (in 8th year) Jerry Rice - 22,895 yds (21 years) Edited October 5, 2006 by Primetime9287 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I was thinking about this last night while thinking about ARI. I'd bet that Kurt Warner is going to be the only NFL'er in the history of the league to win two MVP trophies, own a SB ring and have won a SB MVP to not make the HOF. The Roger Maris of the NFL, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull739 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Marshall Faulk is considering a comeback, so I believe he qualifies. If Dyson could have reached the endzone and would have got a championship for the Titans, McNair might have gotten a vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 a few denver broncos with a shot... tom nalen champ bailey rod smith most people are familiar with the merits of champ and rod. nalen may not seem like an obvious name, but think about it. 5 pro bowls, 2 rings, and the anchor of one of the great o-lines over a prolonged period in football history.

Azazello1313 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 i think warren sapp might make it. definitely derrick brooks. urlacher has a great shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) rod smith I think when all is said and done, Rod Smith's numbers will be eclipsed by a slew of lesser WRs and damage his credentials (not saying I don't think he's worthy, just that I think he isn't anywhere NEAR a slam-dunk). As for Nalen, I think Zimmerman has to get in first. Edited October 5, 2006 by Chavez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I think when all is said and done, Rod Smith's numbers will be eclipsed by a slew of lesser WRs and damage his credentials (not saying I don't think he's worthy, just that I think he isn't anywhere NEAR a slam-dunk). i don't think he's a slam dunk either. but of course, i'm pulling for him big-time. he probably needs to get into the top 10 in receptions and yards. but ya know, like jimmy smith, he was 27, 28 years old before he started putting up numbers. that's how it is when you start undrafted, then practice sqaud, then the bench. As for Nalen, I think Zimmerman has to get in first. i definitely think zimmerman is deserving. one of the most dominating left tackles to ever play the game. but i don't see how his getting in or not has any bearing on nalen. they play different positions, their tenure with the broncos only overlaps a few years, zim only has the one ring to nalen's two. i think they should both be in, but don't see one being dependent on the other.

Chavez Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 As for my list of players who should get serious consideration - based on what team the players were with in '05: Ray Lewis Jonathon Ogden Hines Ward (not a lock, has a good shot) P Manning Harrison Edge - probably McNair Richard Seymour needs another year or two at current production Brady Seau Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas seem like they need a little more, but maybe that's just me Sam Adams, Lawyer Milloy, and Troy Vincent all seem like they are just a bit short Tony Gonzalez Will Shields Ladanian Tomlinson I'd love to see Lorenzo Neal make it but that ain't happenin' Randy Moss Warren Sapp Torry Holt Isaac Bruce Orlando Pace Walter Jones Shaun Alexander needs another year or two of top 10 production McNabb is almost there Brian Dawkins Larry Allen La'Roi Glover has a pretty good shot Roy Williams is on his way Bledsoe just doesn't do it for me Strahan Tiki has an outside shot Darren Sharper should end up high on the int list Matt Birk Olin Kreutz Ruben Brown Urlacher needs a couple more years, but is on his way Aforementioned Nalen, R Smith, Lynch, Harrison, Ty Law, D Brooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice's records are safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Do you really beleive that Holt will play 13 more years and put up strong numbers each year? Rice's records are safe. Holt has managed to stay healthy for about 95% of his career...if not better...he conditions well and knows the field like the back of his hand... he'll continue this pace for another 5 years...after that, it's unclear how long he'll hold up..
