Branch had 471 catches 8243 yards and 67 TDs 73 catches 1289 yards and 5 TDs in the playoffs 14 catches 181 yards and 3 TDs in 3 Super Bowl wins Stallworth and Swann entered the league in 1974 so shift 1 year: Stallworth put up 387 catches 6799 yards and 55 TDs. (and then played 3 more productive years) He absolutely dominated in the playoffs. 18 games 57 catches 1054 yards and 12 TDs Super Bowls : 11 for 268 and 3 TDs at 24.4 per catch. This was really 2 meh SBs of 5 catches 32 yards and 2 legendary games of 6 catches 236 yards and 3 TDs at 39.3 per catch. Stallworth belongs in the Hall of Fame Swann put up 336 5422 and 51 in only 9 seasons but he absolutely dominated the playoffs 48 catches 907 yards and 9 TDs in 16 games Swann did not have a catch in SB IX In the other 3 he went 16 for 364 with 3 TDs at 22.8 per catch including The Levitating Leap The Kangaroo Catch And this sweet TD grab Carmichael destroys Pearson on numbers 2 more TDs in 15 more playoff games and a Lombardi trophy with 1 catch for 13 yards in the game does not put him past Carmichael at all Carmichael had 2 more 100 yard games and the same number of multiple TD playoff games as Pearson in 1/3 as many games. Stallworth beats him everywhere. Branch destroys him on numbers and Super Bowls Swann is in the Hall of Fame like Troy Aikman. He was so dominant in Super Bowls that the rest of his career is gravy. On the '75-'78 Cowboys teams that went to 3 Super Bowls, Drew was 2nd in playoff TDs by guys named Pearson. From '73-'77 he had 4 more regular season TDs and 1 more playoff TD than Golden Richards and Richards missed 5 regular season games. Pearson was a Hall of Good WR surrounded by incredible talent who made a very famous divisional round catch. as I was reading this thread, I was waiting to see the pic of Stallworth's catch in the SB he should have been MVP vs the rams. Nice that you put that pic in there Stallworth had good gloves hands It took Swann and Stallworth a while to get in, HOF used to be more difficult to get in.

Indeed, until Harold Carmichael, Lynn Swann waited the longest of any WR in the Hall of Fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats quote a wait that's for sure. There have been several OL that should get in too but for the decades they only allowed 5 people in, it's caught up to where there are all these players not in when they should be.

jebrick Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Some of the entries are a correction ( I think). 3 safeties. It is not often that you see one safety get in. 3 OTs as well. I think it can be harder for OL to get in because there are so many and it is not glamorous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I hope they do something like this maybe every 20-25 years. Every single person on that list imo deserves a place in the HOF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People now talk about not wanting to tackle D.Henry, but look what Shell did to Campbell. The game has changed and physicality of defenders has diminished in todays nfl Yeah, you have Earl Thomas literally backing away from Henry. That says it all.
