No he's not HOF worthy.

But I'm a bit old school. I don't believe everyone should be in. He was good with Romo but not HOF good.

You poor little lost soul...puberty is just around the corner for you. Oh, take care of that lip, little dude.
You begged the mods to delete this very thread.

BEGGED them.

That’s how stupid you felt after reading the responses.

Made the all-pro team 1 time and had only 3 seasons of at least 1k yards. I wouldn't even put him in the ROH

had some great moments on some incredible teams. That’s about it. And I don’t like cry babies.
Respectfully Amigo, did you ever watch Pearson play? If you had, I don't think you'd be describing his play that way. The Cowboys were a finese team in those days. They weren't a ground and pound team like the 90's. Pearson was a great receiver and downfield blocker. He had tenacity and heart, and was a team leader for several years. You can't always judge a player by total yards and catches.

Amen.. Drew Pearson was the most clutch receiver I think I ever saw. There was simply no covering him on the deep comeback route. It was like stealing when he and Roger ran it. I'm sure he dropped a pass or two but I cannot recall ever seeing him do so. People who get hung up on numbers from a completely different era of football compared to today could not be more blind. The fact that Drew was named first team all-decade in the 1970's should be all anyone needs to know about his place in the game. He was first team all-pro three times.. THREE. Mind you this was accomplished while playing in the same era as other hall of famers like Paul Warfield, Charley Taylor, Lynn Swann, Harold Carmicheal, , Lance Alworth, John Stallworth and on and on. He rarely had huge numbers because the Cowboys were a loaded offense and Landry believed in spreading the ball around. If Drew played for a coach who believed more in feeding a player and taking the best advantage of favorable matchups he might have doubled his career numbers. Even at that he managed to lead the league in receiving yards once. And the year he did it the Cowboys won the Super Bowl.. so for all those who reached for their keyboards to claim it was "garbage time yards" you can stand down.. Pearson's 88 was the first jersey I ever bought.. and remains one of only two that I have.. the other is Emmitt's 22. I may buy others as the years go on.. but those two will always be my first two..

Not bad for a slender looking free agent from Tulsa. He was a clutch receiver not just to Staubach but also Danny White. The thinnest legs you would find on an NFL receiver but tough as nails. And a class act, after 33 years being inducted into the HOF he could have been bitter, but he was as giddy as a schoolgirl on prom night. Happy for him and his family to enjoy this moment. I am sure Roger will be ecstatic to be his presenter at the HOF ceremony. Looking forward to watch it.

We already know now he isn't making it in. It's really not a debatable subject

This is why I told the mods to delete this post. Since it's "not debatable", just delete is what I said.

If the little joker wants to make a big deal out of this, here you are.

The OP begged the mods to delete the thread all the way back on page 2.

Must’ve felt like a complete idiot after reading the responses.
:lmao2:

You must have not have had a father in your life, if you did, what a shame he would think if you.

Eh that was a bit jerkish on my part.

You asked a question for discussion. Ive done the same, and with questions with less merit, and had the discussion go south. Dont take it to heart

Oh, it's cool, I know you meant no harm, it's the little prick that got a good "giggle giggle giggle" out of my post saying to delete it. I actually liked all the responses, but then again, I like the Dez for some strange reason. lol

And, it was a catch!!
