Guest Krazy Karter Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Ralph Wilson Jr. gets robbed every year. Come on, he was one of the AFL's founding owners and has an AFL Championship and four Super Bowl appearances under his belt. He isn't getting any younger, either.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Elway and Sanders are the obvious locks I still don't understand why Marshall isn't in the HoF. He holds a couple of major defensive records, and has a consecutive game streak that puts Cal Ripken to shame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Bob Hayes - Only 2 1,000+ yard seasons in an 11 year career, 5 10+ TD catches but the latter years really hurt him. Art Monk - 12,000+ yards receiving in his career. Topped 100 catches only once, topped 1,000 yards 5 times in his 16 year career. Never had more then 8 TD catches in a season. 5th Most Receptions, 9th Most Receiving Yards should put him in. John Elway - 50,000+ yards passing, 300 TD's, Also ran for over 3,000 yards. Topped 3,000 yards 11 times, 4,000 only once in 1993. Really exploded in TD/INT ratio towards the end of his career. #2 in career Pass Attempts, Completions and Passing Yards, #4 in TD's. Won 2 Super Bowls and has led many, many comebacks. Easy Shoo-in. Barry Sanders - 15,000+ yards in only 10 seasons. Topped 10+ TD's in 6 of those years. Ranks #4 in Rushing Attempts, #3 in Yards, #6 in TD's, #4 in Yards from Scrimmage and #10 in Rushing & Receiving TD's. Another fairly easy Shoo-in. I'll let somebody else tackle(no pun intended) the defensive players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 Eller up here is considered the better player than Marshall. I'm also curious why how many games you play should be a factor? It's certainly impressive, but if you don't have the numbers than you don't belong in the HOF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) Jim Marshall: 282 consecutive starts, including 20 postseason games NFL record for recovery of opponent's fumbles with 29. 127 (unofficial) sacks, 719 tackles and 269 assists Two Pro Bowl appearances from 1968-69 You also forgot running a fumble back and scoring a TD for the other team. The Vikings won the game anyway, so it's not like that was a huge deal Edit: Also, it wasn't a TD. Downing your ball in your own end zone is a safety, so it was only 2 points for the 49ers.
