BearBroncos Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I was flabergasted to hear Marshall talk smack about Stirling Sharpe in this interview after their analsis of Marshalls performance. I mean, he had some valid points but seems to forget, these are analyst. They watch as much video as coaches do. And to not know what Sharpe did for the Green Bay Packers, wow. If not for the neck injury, Sharpe surely would have been a HoF. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Marshall's right, Sterling isn't a hall of famer. Not that that's relevant to what he said about Marshall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy n Dirty Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I was flabergasted to hear Marshall talk smack about Stirling Sharpe in this interview after their analsis of Marshalls performance.

If not for the neck injury, Sharpe surely would have been a HoF. Thoughts? I agree with what you say here as well as following posts - I think Marshall was within his rights to fire back a little bit, it's hard to criticize his effort level in that Jets game or his conditioning. But the manner in which he went about it makes him come off looking like a bit of a jerk (a common refrain for Brandon marshall it seems). First off, Sharpe probably would have been a Hall of Famer if not for the neck injury, and secondly and more importantly, having been a great player is not and should not be a qualification for being an analyst or for having a worthwhile opinion about stuff that goes on on the football field. Most great coaches were marginal players if at all, and the best analysts today were typically not HOF-caliber players. Ridiculous comment by marshall IMO.

BeeR Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) If 'coulda been a HoFer' is the threshold for making a guy's opinion beyond reproach, the world would be full of NFL experts. It is! Don't you watch ESPN? Sharpe is neither a HOFer or exactly a dazzling "analyst." He's one of many circus clowns pretending to be an analyst who got a job at ESPN because ESPN knows famous players get people to watch, no matter how stupid/silly/etc they are. Or am I the only one who remembers Emmit Smith? Edited October 1, 2010 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
