TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Sucks for Cliff Branch. Thought he would make it over Harold Carmichael. No Jim Marshall either. Roger Craig is my guy, and it's a shame he got kicked to the curb once again. Everyone is deserving though.

3rivers Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 for way too long the HOF wasn't letting in enough players . At least these players are finally getting in, and they played in the era when football was a rough sport, much different than today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Nice to see Steve Sabol get in. His influence on the game was staggering. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 I just forgot Randy Gradishar was left out. How the hell did Jim Covert leapfrog him? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Cliff Branch snubbed again. Thought this was the year, especially with his recent passing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he's not around to see it. Great honor anyway, well deserved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Donnie Shell was very deserving of the HOF. 5 Pro Bowls. 3 time 1st team all pro. 51 Ints as a SS. One of the hardest tacklers I have ever seen. And a UDFA from a time when drafts had 17 rounds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) You can't beat guys named Mac Speedie and Ed Sprinkle. Although when I see the name Mac Speedie, I immediately think of: Edited January 15, 2020 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 So I know the two coach, am aware of the former commish and obviously Sabol, but Cliff Harris is the only player I think I've even heard of. My newb is hanging out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltman Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 So happy for Carmichael, wasn’t sure they’d ever fix that. He’s a great guy too. Within his era, where DBs could do whatever they wanted to, he was still so dominant even with the subpar QBs he had for more than half his career. He’s a guy that would’ve only done better in the decades since he hung it up. Which you can’t always say about the legacy players that are up for the HoF. When you look at where he ranked when he left the game, he was at or near the top of every important receiving category. Each of his seasons and for his career. Helped build an positional archetype. Sabol should’ve gotten in the year he died. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
