Do you think TO will make the HOF?

[Joe Realist]

Yes, hell get in. And he'll be forced to give his own introductory speech, too.

I think he'll ask Jeff Garcia or Donovan McNabb or both!

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

and what players as of today if they retired will get in?

I say Marvin Harrison, Randy Moss, Brett Farve, Junior Seau, Strahan from last year, Payton Manning has enough stats to make it...Ray Lewis does too, Brady only has 7 good seasons...he needs some more 3500 yard seasons to get in...they dont have to be spectacular due to his superbowl wins and last years season...just some good seasons..i would say 4 or 5 and he is in...could be in even without that...but for him to be a lock thats what he needs.

Derrick brooks....Orlando Pace, Larry Allen, Jonathan Ogden, Walter Jones, Tony Gonzalez, Champ Bailey,

Who I think will get there barring injury, Larry Fitzgerald, Tory Holt, DeMarcus Ware, Tony Romo, Ed Reed, LT, Eli, Julian Peppers, Adrian Peterson,

So......

Brady won superbowls in his prime and he is not a lock but you think Romo who hasn't won A PLAYOFF game will get there.

add:

Peyton Manning
Kurt Warner (maybe)
LaDanian Tomlinson
Torry Holt (if healthy)
Issac Bruce
Brian Dawkins
Jason Taylor

T.O. will probably play 2 more years. When he retires, he will be top 3-5 in most all-time receiving stats.

The question is not, "if". The only question is when.

Owens has the numbers and productivity to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer if he were to retire today. However, it will not matter how long he continues to play and it's delusional for anyone to believe that it will increase his chances of being inducted in his first year of eligibility.

The Board of Selectors grants players access to the Hall. Not ex-players. Not ex-coaches. Sportswriters. People who are based throughout the country. On the West Coast. In the Northeast. And even those based in the Southwest.

There are too many media perceptions to be changed or minimized within the next 15-20 years for Owens to get in five years after he retires, but he will get in. Maybe it would've been different if he had remained with the 49ers, but that didn't happen.

The Board of Selectors will feel obligated to protect their own legacy as much as that of ex-players', ex-coaches', etc. They will not wish to be remembered as the group which did not allow a true Hall of Fame caliber player entry into the Hall, but they will equally not wish to be known as the group which waved Owens inside after his contentious past with their peers.

No. Owens will not get in five years after retiring. In contrast, Randy Moss will. It'll be interesting to see if both players retire at the same time because there will be a lot of surprises to go around five years later. Fortunately, not everyone will be shocked at all.

Bwahahaha!

Tell that to the kid he choked out at the Pro Bowl. http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2005/Feb/17/ln/ln03p.html

Or the dude he shot.

What happened with that case? It seems that stopped being a subject of interest to the media. But I guess its not a Cowboy issue so its a non-issue for the media.

 

[Biggems]

To answer your question.......NO he will not be in the HOF. Neither will LT, Brady, Manning, Polamalu, Lewis, Romo, Ware, etc.......

You have to be retired for 5 years to be eligible. Since the world is going to end on Dec. 21, 2012, the class that retired in 2007 will be the final class eligible for first ballot HOF....

The Mayans have spoken and it shall come to pass.

TO will go in as a Raven.

TO will go in as a Raven.

:laugh1: And Ray Lewis will do his introduction speech.

I wish I had thought of that. :laugh2:

 

[Rampage]

:laugh1: And Ray Lewis will do his introduction speech.

hope he does the Ray Lewis dance before he introduces Owens

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

TO is a first ballot HOF......no doubt

#2 to ONLY "the greatest" Jerry Rice.... he's a first ballot.... agenda may change it... but it shouldnt....

 

[Dave_in-NC]

TO will go in as a Raven.

 

[bbgun]

HOFer for sure, but not first ballot. Peter King admitted being miffed by all the dropped passes and off-the-field nonsense.

Randy Moss
Regular Season
78.0 yards per game
0.80 TDs per game
Playoffs
74.3 yards per game
0.91 TDs per game

Jerry Rice
Regular Season
75.6 yards per game
0.65 TDs per game
Playoffs
80.2 yards per game
0.79 TDs per game

Marvin Harrison
Regular Season
76.6 yards per game
0.67 TDs per game
Playoffs
57.5 yards per game
0.13 TDs per game

Terrell Owens
Regular Season
74.6 yards per game
0.74 TDs per game
Playoffs
68.3 yards per game
0.45 TDs per game

Michael Irvin
Regular Season
74.9 yards per game
0.41 TDs per game
Playoffs
82.1 yards per game
0.50 TDs per game

I think these are some numbers that show the value of Michael Irvin and why he is in the HOF.

TO will get there. Of course he won't be first ballot. The voters have already stated that the only wide receiver that will get a first ballot selection is Jerry Rice. It is silly, but that is what will happen.

Eli Manning? He has a long way to go to get into the Hall of Fame. I don't care how well he did in last years playoff run. He has been less than average during the regular season for most of his career and horrible in the playoffs until last season.

Tom Brady is a Hall of Famer. He probably will play several more seasons to solidify his spot, but he has done enough.

 

[Rampage]

by those stats above^^^^ T.O. and Marvin lower there game in the playoffs. mean while Rice,Moss, and Irvin up there game in the playoffs.

 

[STSINAZ]

obviously the last list were players that had a ways to go but IMO they will get there...purely speculative

 

[joseephuss]

I agree that it is speculative. I just think Eli has a much longer road than most of the others on that list. I think he has further to go than Romo and Romo has a long, long way to go.

Come now. Harrison may choke kids and shoot at people, but at least he never said Brett Favre was better than his quarterback!!!111 He never autographed a football with a Sharpie or stood on da star!

 

[kmd24]

rofl. No he's not. If Irvin and Carter couldnt get the 1st ballot, he wont get it either.

Wanna lay some odds and make a wager?
