Commanders' Monk, Green Elected to Hall

You are wrong. No one changed the way defense is played more than Bob Hayes.

Agreed, he changed the game.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Both deserve to be in and Thank God we don't have to hear the Commander Fans whine any more!.

You are wrong. No one changed the way defense is played more than Bob Hayes.

So a track guy gets in because he was fast - LOL
Lynn Swann logic

46,64,49,53,40,34,35,15,15,22,7,6 receptions

He had maybe 5-6 good seasons. 35 years later he is not in Hall and if he was a sure shot haller he would be in. He's just Not.

 

[Nors]

Agreed, he changed the game.

Well the game figured him out and after 5-6 seasons of ok play he petered out. 35 years later no Hall

Doesn't change the fact that the NFL had to get faster players.

So would you also reward the first overweight guy to play on the OL?

Congrats to you buddy, you broke the 300 lb barrier, you fat slob.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

How did Tippett get in, I don't rememebr him being anything special. Derrick Thomas and Charles Haley were much better and deserving than Tippett.

 

[ZeroClub]

Other than Darrell Green, this is an underwhelming Hall of Fame class.

Yes, Pre Bob Hayes NFL teams did not covet fast football players. In fact targeting slow ones.:laugh1:

 

[Nors]

How did Tippett get in, I don't rememebr him being anything special. Derrick Thomas and Charles Haley were much better and deserving than Tippett.

You obviously never watched him play - 5 Time All Pro, co defensive player of the year and 100 career sacks from the strong side.

Haley deserves in and One trick poney Thomas may or may not get in.

Tippett is In!

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Did you ever see Andre Tippet play?



One day Thomas will get in too.

Eh, give me Richard Dent, who still gets turned down for some reason. That guy was a bonafide beast.




YAKUZA

 

[riggo]

a great day for skins fans. much appreciation for the class and knowledge shown by the boys fans here.

 

[CowboyWay]

Green personified what an NFL player should be. I can't think of anyone more deserving.

Monk = Compiler............. I don't have a problem with him being in, but if you were going to start a team and you could pick any wideouts in the HOF, I'm guessing Monk wouldn't be anwhere near the top of the list.

 

[5Stars]

OK - guess no rules apply to where things are posted.

And you brought up Patriots in this thread for what reason?

You don't seem to mind anything Patriots* on the fan page, why not a Commander post? :laugh2:

Anyway, congrats to those two players, great players when football was played the way football should be played. Not none of this sissy FA, salary cap, camera play!!

 

[BourbonBalz]

I agree that Green and Monk were deserving. I'm also proud how Cowboy fans are giving props for their election. Just shows the difference between Cowboy and Foreskin fans. They did nothing but ***** and talk trash on ES about Irvin when he was elected. Their envy and bitterness knows no end.

 

[Mansta54]

Congrats to them both, it's well deserved. They were GREAT players...

 

[Mansta54]

Charles Haley should be next.

 

[Hostile]

You are wrong. No one changed the way defense is played more than Bob Hayes.

He would never understand that.

 

[5Stars]

He would never understand that.

Wrong! He knows it, Hostile, he just does not like it! Never underestimate the opponet...

 

[Hostile]

Wrong! He knows it, Hostile, he just does not like it! Never underestimate the opponet...

I promise you he doesn't. In his mind the HOF is about stats as he has already shown by posting Lynn Swann's stats. Any time he talks about the HOF that is his only criteria. It is why he thinks Bledsoe is more deserving than someone like Namath. It's why he is telling you Andre Tippet's stats as justification he is going in.

No grasp of impact on the game.
