If he'd entered the league 20 years earlier, he'd probably have been a lot better. He was built for the era of football when the passing game was a lot more chuck 'n' duck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, if they won 2 of 4, they could have been in the conveesation of best team of all time. I think you have in who deserves to be in on offense (I actually don't know that Reed belongs) - maybe one or two of the OLs. Where it swings is on D, with maybe Bennett and Talley making it in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel not good enough for long enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was a hot young gun who put up numbers due to high volume, but never really got much better than he was early on. Definitely a HoVG caliber player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Patrick Willis would definitely already be in if the 49ers had won SB XLVII What about Jessie Tuggle? Hell, what about Lance Briggs? Edited April 15, 2021 by Starless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it's different, because one's a player, and the other is a coach. Doesn't mean they both can't have a shooting star effect attached to their legacy.

Great players, but don't seem to be remembered as much compared to other guys. Probably because they played on a lot of bad squads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
childofpudding Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Matt Ryan '16. Would have an MVP, a ring and a very good career otherwise Russell Wilson '14. Two rings, SB MVP and a very good career Good chance both of those QBs get in anyway Torry Holt '01? He's been on the cusp for several years now, another ring would probably have him in by now Edited April 16, 2021 by childofpudding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they would if they won a few though. sterling Sharpe wipes the floor with Reed in head to head years. Andre Reec was the 2nd best Andre WR for a long stretch and the second best Reed WR for about a 3 year period. Stat accumulation and playing with Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas does not mean you belong with greatness. Kelly was a 20 TD and 28 pick playoff QB who is only in the hall for what this team did in the playoffs. He wax also the 2nd best playoff QB on that team.

Hell, what about Lance Briggs? SB wins only seem to matter for QBs (which is stupid, but whatever). Not Linebackers. EDIT: A SB win would not have put WIllis in the HOF. Willis would've already been a 1st ballot HOF if he had stayed healthy and continued the path he has headed towards. He'll get in the fame, eventually. His lack of longevity is the only thing stopping him. Tuggle was good and very rounded player but he was not a HOF player IMO. A SB is not what's stopping Briggs from becoming a HOF. What's stopping Briggs from being a HOF is media politics and that the fact he played with so many other great LBers that he was often over-looked and forgotten about when it came to voting for trophies. Him, Fletcher, and Peanut. All of them were VERY underrated throughout the majority of their careers and didn't start to get the recognition they deserved from the media until they were at the tail end of their primes. Cornerbacks now pin their game based on the "peanut" punch. He revolutionized it and didn't get any recognition for it because he played in era where other CBs like Aso, Revis, Woodson, etc where getting the most attention that his play wasn't recognized nor appreciated at the time. The same path that's been happening to Lavonte David (SP). I guarantee it. He's so overlooked only because he's being labeled as "Linebacker" (despite the differences in responsibilities) as been competing with the likes of so many others. Sorry, that was a bit of rant. I just hate how the HOF voting process is now. Edited April 16, 2021 by JAF-N72EX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfNewYork Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Newton IMO might have had a case. OROY, League MVP and a SB trophy along with OPOY, 3 Pro Bowls and a 1st Team All-Pro. I've seen guys in with less but the QB position is tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I don't think Bettis gets in if the Steelers lose SB40 is Vinatieri still a lock if NE does not win the SB vs Rams? feel like half his legacy points came from that SB run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
