Certainly an interesting group of names here. By my count there’s at least 8 guys here who were considered controversial or a part of a scandal or negative news story.
Thats a stacked hof team
Whit, AD and Gronk are the only no-brainer first ballot guys, imho.
Does Cam Newton make the HOF?? All time leader in rushing TDs for a QB and had some great seasons
Cam Newton making the HoF would be an insult to the QBs that we’re better but likely won’t make it: Rivers, Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler (yes he was better over his career), Joe Flacco, Palmer, McNabb, Romo, even Russ.
Nope
Peterson and Gronk are first ballot. I think Big Ben will only be waiting 3-4 years max. Richard Sherman probably gets in a awhile later. I mean Ronde Barber just got in. Antonio Brown would have been high on peoples lists but he’s too controversial now.
Andrew Whitworth is in, IMO, and Cam has a shot too.
4 Pittsburgh Steelers 😏
If AB makes it in, I’ll eat cereal with equal parts vodka and milk, and a splash of toothpaste. I think he’s burned too many bridges to be acknowledged in that way, regardless of how dominant he was.
I’m glad that I got to watch his play, though. And, a little guilty about it, that I got to enjoy his crazy saga.
Jack Doyle being on this random list is the closest he will ever be to being a HOFer
Man Gronk should be #2 on this list no question
Kevin Williams is monster hall of fame snub no one talks about
This is going to be wildly unpopular, especially on Reddit, but I don’t think that personal/off field issues shouldn’t be taken into account—to an extent—when it comes to the hall of fame.
The hall is for what players did on the field, and there are countless players across all of the major sports that are in their respective halls’ for that exactly, all the while doing worse shit than the players being brought up.
They should be voted in based on their accomplishments on the field. If their personal issues were so bad and caused them to miss a ton of time, they simply wouldn’t be in the hall because the accolades wouldn’t be there. Again, I’m gonna get downvoted and that’s fine. Just my two cents.
90% of this list won’t even sniff the hall.
Incognito? Good lord. I hope not.
Yeah you’re in the era of tremendously athletic shitheads.
But any list that has cam newton above Big ben should be immediately thrown out.
Is Leveon Bell HoF or Hall of Very Good?
Its the Nfl, they care less about that stuff than say Mlb. Big Ben Rapelessberger won’t have issues, neither will AP the switchmaster.
