Clarence Hill tweet: Charles Haley makes Hall of Fame

[speedkilz88]

Barely 100 sacks . Good for him , but the half of fame standards have really diminished . Very good player but not a hall of famer for me.

Did you watch him play? Sacks don't show the kind of relentless pressure and havoc he created.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Anyone that is a key component to 5 Super Bowl teams is a HOF player. I'll take his credentials over that hack Lynn Swann all day long.

I agree he should get the nod over Swann but niether is elite in my opinion . Nevertheless congrats to him .

Yea he was very good . Sometimes dominant but I just don't think he was elite .

Agree. Him and especially Bettis getting in just continue the road down Hall of Very Good to me. Having said that, there's probably worse players already in there than both of them.

Kurt Warner didn't make it?

Official says ESPN. Well deserved.

 

[IAmLegend]

Haley was a fringe guy, but I'm glad he made it. The more Cowboys, the merrier.

Congrats to him.

Kurt Warner didn't make it?

cant believe this one.

 

[NickZepp]

Didn't actually believe this would ever happen. He was probably a much bigger impact on the Cowboys than his numbers showed.

 

[Rogerthat12]

YES..hope it is true!

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

cant believe this one.

He has one of the stranger resumes, but he certainly deserves to be in.

 

[Doomsday]

About time and well deserved. Stats dont tell the whole story, he was constantly wreaking havoc in the opponent's backfield.

If we were going by your standards there would be about 20 players in the hof. The hof is more than just numbers and 100 sacks is nothing to sneeze at. Haley deserves to be inducted. His impact on the cowboys and niners can't be denied. His teammates on both teams have and still will tell u that.

 

[camelboy]

Is he the Robert Horry of the NFL? I always said Big-Shot-Bob deserves to be in the NBA HOF ..

How the heck does Jerome Bettis make it in, especially when players more deserving than he didn't?

And Don Coryell being snubbed again is ludicrous.

 

[Fletch]

Let's hope he doesn't whip it out and start...yeah....like the stories about him in the locker room. Crazy guy indeed.

Nah. He'll just throw his bronze bust through The Hall wall yelling at Jerry to resign Murray!

I can see one or two teams winning with him but FIVE? That's not a mistake, especially in the position he played.

The Hall of Fame didn't diminish their standards - they met them.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

Never watched Jerome Bettis and thought he was a HOFer, not even close....Extremly underwhelming inductee while so many more deserving players are left out again, what a bunch of *** kissers, (that goes both ways) between the media and the Steelers

 

[Doomsday]

Never watched Jerome Bettis and thought he was a HOFer, not even close....

I would of put Orlando Pace in before Bettis, but he isnt a Steeler.
