HOMER ALERT!! (ES Thread)

I think Bledsoe will get a good look when a guy like Moon gets in.

I don't think we have anyone close to HOF credentials on our current roster other than TO.


As for the younger players, it is way too early to speculate about guys like Roy, Ware, TNew etc.
In the last part of this, you said it correctly. Of the older players, I have my doubts. (Which, of course, is why so many of them are gone.) For the younger players, I have hopes. Time will tell, but I'd say Roy, Witten, Ware, etc., bear watching. But hey, if they simply pan out as solid players, I'm happy with that. After all, how many Pats make the Pro Bowl every year or will end up in the HoF? Not a lot, but overall they add up to a rock solid team. What's important isn't individual stars but how well everyone does their job.
 
Bledsoe and TO are the closest we got. I think Bledsoe definitly has a shot. Look at his carear #'s plus he played in two SB's.
 
RW first 2 years >>>>> ST first 2 years.

Emmitt smith and 6 seasons for 9,000 yards > Portis in 4 seasons for 6,000.
 
Taylor is gonna break out and be scary good this year. I can feel it.

This seems to be a prophetic post in more ways than one. He may have to break out to even play. :laugh2:
 
Portis is the only guy they have mentioned that really has a shot, but he has to do it for a few more years before the conversation can even be started.

TO needs another 3-4 good years to get serious consideration also. If you want to put people in based on 4-5 good years then Terrell Davis is headed to Canton soon.

Now look at TD production too.

What do you expect? They picked up 1 player in the draft. Rocky balboa.

The tone of your email leads me to believe you are 7 years old and someone stole your cookie.

In the immortal words of 5Stars:

lol at people saying TO has to produce another 2-3 years.ummm he is like top 5 all time in recieving tds.

HES IN ALREADY.
 
Portis isn't going to have a long enough career to challenge for a HOF nomination. He's had a lot of wear and tear on a small frame in a short amount of time. He's wildly talented as far as speed and raw athleticism goes, but he just doesn't have the gracefull running style that Payton, Emmitt and Curtis Martin had which lends itself to avoiding collisions. He's more straight-ahead kamikaze, shout out of a cannon style. Its effective, but it doesn't lend itself to a long career. He's averaged 350 carries a year since joining the Commanders, and at the end of the last year he was already showing signs of chronic neck and stinger injuries. Those don't tend to get better with more age and more wear. Ask Dat.
 
2)Clinton Portis(Emmit Smith had only 3 years of rushing for 1500, or more yards over a 15 year career. CP has 3 years of 1,500 yards or better, and he's entering into his fifth year as a pro.)


All i have to say to that is have portis show emmitt his rings. End of conversation on that 1.:lmao2:
 
If Portis can keep it up for 4 more years then he has a good shot. But I just cannot see him holding up for that long. Roy if he keeps making the Pro Bowl will make the HOF. He has - what 2 or is it 3 already in 4 years. If he can make it to 6-7 he is in. 6-7 Pro Bowls usually gets you into the HOF. Maybe not first ballot, but eventually in. If he can get to 8-9, then he is in real soon after he retires.
