NFL HOF Finalists: Favre and Owens Highlight List of 15

[MustafaSTL]

Aarvin Marrison is a lock

Favre is a lock...

Warner will get in but I don't know about first ballot

TO should be a lock but it will probably be another decade before he gets his due.

 

[DonKnock]

Most over-rated HB in NFL history. Corey Dillon was a far superior player to Bettis, yet he's not in.

Bettis is a classic case of a stat compiler, combined with being part of one of the most iconic NFL franchises and having a nick-name like "The Bus". The definition of over-rated.

*triots fan hating on longevity now?


"Stat compiler" isn't a term I've ever heard used for RBs


You want him to take the handoff and run backwards?

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

T.O shouldnt make it tbh

He was a good talent that never really won shyt

Plus by the end of his career he was more a side show than an actual asset to teams he was on

Are you really using this, let alone in terms of football

No, I'd want him to have more than 4/13 seasons of a 4.0+ ypc and more than two seasons of double digit TD's..


But, but, but, but he was a power back..


Do you think Bettis was better than his clear superior in Dillon?

The hate for Bettis in this thread ​

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Edge better get in especially now that that fat fukk Jerome Bettis is in.

If those teams got a lead at halftime it was fukking over. The bus would get three rushes every set of downs and run that clock down faster than anyone. Greatest closer ever.

Favre, Owens, Faneca among finalists for Hall

I don't how a Kicker made the final 15 but that's an impressive group.

Off the top. I think Edge and T.D won't get in for sure but again impressive 15.

Oh shyt, Jake got on the list

I hope Jacoby gets in.

 

[L&HH]

I'm old as fukk

I'm stil relatively young and can tell my time is coming. I used not know who the fukk a lot of the names were on the hof lists. Now not only do I know them I've actually seen them play for at least 5 seasons

 

[mastermind]

About damn time.
I was pissed that John Lynch made it on the list last year before him

those Denver defenses were so underrated.

Mecklenberg should be in the HOF too.

 

[soulfuljah]

How many rings he got?

The same amount as Bus

Edge gets a Super Bowl ring

And we all remember Super Bowl XL

 

[3Rivers]

Faneca

Emmitt Smith was a better closer and he was getting above 4 ypc.

LT was a better closer and he was getting more than 4 ypc.

Pretty much every HOF back was a better closer than Bettis. Bettis should not have made the HOF.

Emmitt had Aikman and Irving. LT had Rivers and Brees. Bettis had fukkin Neil ODonnell and Tommy Maddox. Everyone knew the Steelers would run it when they had a lead and still couldnt stop him. GOAT closer
