BroncoBruin Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Probably didn’t have enough seasons of elite play to make the HOF but his peak was incredible. Couple more great seasons + getting that pick six record and I think he gets in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 My first memory of Talib is from '09 when the Bucs hosted the Packers. He intercepted Rodgers and got blasted by Donald Driver while trying to run it back. I never saw Driver lay a hit like that on anyone else. It's like he somehow knew what a jerk Talib would become and wanted to punish him in advance. I'm not sorry to see him go, but he was a good player.

TitanSlim Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hell of a career. Don’t know if he’ll be a Hall of Famer and he may get forgotten about a bit down the line but he’s a CB I’ll personally remember as a Hall of “Great” guy ala Patrick Surtain or Asante Samuel.

diamondbull424 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 No chance at the HOF. I mean only 5 PBs, and 1 AP? If that got DBs into the hall than we better get a lot more gold jackets ready. Would’ve needed a couple more 1st team APs at the very least.

Pretty ridiculous that he wasn’t 1st Team All-Pro in both 2015 and 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar12 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) My favorite/funniest Talib moment was when Steve Smith manhandled him and clowned him post game tell him to Ice up son lol.

Heinz D. Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Weird he retired with a contract offer on the table. He claims he wasn't "feeling it anymore". I wonder if that will change. He has the size to switch to safety (I think), it's kind of puzzling he didn't go that route first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BB really wanted him I would bet my last dollar it was to take Pat Chung's spot in the scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will he have to wait a few years? Why do people think every good player needs to be a Hall of Famer. Jesus. Just let good players be good players. Maybe a team specific Hall of Fame or whatever. Leave the PFHOF to the true greats and legends. And I LOVE Talib's game. He was a pitbull on the field, big fan. And some network should be smart enough to scoop him up to do some in studio commentating, he's entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pats schedule is very TE heavy this year, so it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots regularly used 3 safeties at a time with Chung/McCourty/Harmon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 hmm, I thought Chung was more for in the box run support, with some TE help between the seams and stuff, rather than straight up following the TE, but you could be right. And either way, BB was definitely looking for extra help in that area given Chung's absence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
