I disagree with the author on every single NFL player.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I disagree with the author on every single NFL player.

I do too.

I don't know about the other sports but good god the NFL players listed are all HOF worthy guys

I don't know about the other sports but good god the NFL players listed are all HOF worthy guys

the ones in the other sports are as well...

Lynn Swann. All I am going to say is if that man is in there then Drew Pearson belongs also.

 

[JDSmith]

I agree with him on Lynn Swann.

I dont think Lynn Swann belongs, but I do agree that Drew should be in if Lynn is in. And if I had to pick one of the two I will go on record as saying Drew is more worthy than Lynn Swann.

 

[Eskimo]

I think he is wrong on almost all of them but I agree with him about Ralph Sampson.

It really looks like a guy who has very little understanding of the sports that he is criticizing and goes mostly off of stat line compared to what modern contemporaries put up in a vastly different game.

An example of winners write history, or the ones that win more write it.

If Drew was a Steeler I bet he would be in.

 

[SDCowboy]

John Elway doesn't belong in the HOF? What?

 

[pancakeman]

There are much better (more thoughtful and more knowledgeable) versions of this kind of thing, like this for instance: http://thecanonreview.blogspot.com/2010/08/pro-football-hall-of-fames-worst-of.html

This.

And disagree on most of the non-NFL guys too.

Anybody who watched Dennis Rodman play defense would never ever say he shouldn't be in the HOF. I know the guy is a kook, but man-o-man that guy could rebound.

 

[Jack Burton]

This article was written by a stat loving person who was probably too young to have watched the majority of these guys play. It's click bait nonsense.

I really only didn't disagree with one of his. I think Ralph Sampson is not a HOFer.

 

[windward]

Mayyybe Lynn Swann and mayyybe Joe Namath. But other than that, I can't agree.

 

[joseephuss]

I agree that Ralph Sampson is not a pro-basketball Hall of Famer.

 

[BiffWellingtonIII]

Aikman simply doesn't have the stats - he's not an all timer.

I'd say that article was spot on.

Aikman had Emmit... and has THREE rings. Those are the only "stats" he needs. Lol!!!! So yeah... HOF fo sho!

 

[Super_Kazuya]

He isn't. The basketball hall of fame isn't just for the NBA, it's for basketball period. And Sampson was probably one of the five best college players who ever lived.
