NFL: Pro Football Hall of Fame Semifinalists

[Hasbro]

How many QBs have taken multiple teams to Super Bowls? The list can't be long. And look at what the two teams Warner took to the Super Bowl before and after his time there. He certainly should be in.

Peyton Manning and Craig Morton. One of these is not like the other...

 

[Voight]

I find a lot of people forget Warner brought the Cards to the SuperBowl, in his late 30s nonetheless.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Peyton Manning and Craig Morton. One of these is not like the other...

That Manning guy is a scrub.

 

[Eco]

Pace, Farve, and Warner have to be locks.

[Voight]

Dungy, Faneca, Pace, Warner, TO, Favre, Stanfel & DeBarolo wold be my top picks.

James has a decent case, five guys below him on the rushing list are in and he had a very good peak from 1999-2007. Harrison falls in a similar boat.

 

[Roboturner913]

Kevin Greene still not being in is laughable. Guy was a menace. 3rd all time in sacks STILL. What more can you ask for?

I tend to look at these things by position. Who was the very best at their position, on an all-time basis. So, I come up with Andersen, Greene and Pace for sure. I don't love any of the other players, nobody pops out and screams "VOTE FOR ME NOW" but one of the coaches does, and that's Coryell. Not too many people have had more of an influence on the modern game than that guy.

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

Thought Greene was already in the Hall. Honestly never knew Favre played for the Falcons.

 

[EpochLink]

This HAS to be the year Marvin Harrison gets in, come on this guy was one of the best in the 2000 decade.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Warner to me isn't a H9F. When he was on...he was great but hr wasn't consistent. He had quite a few irrelevant years. If he wins that second one you have to put him in I'd think.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Pace, Farve, and Warner have to be locks.

Warner is anything but a lock. He's a may never get in.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Played is an overstatement haha.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Pace and Favre are locks and I think Harrison gets in too.

They'll make Owens wait because they don't like him and almost never elect 2 of the same position. So I think Warner waits another year too because of that.


The other 2 who get in I'm guessing are combo of Greene, Davis/James and Atwater/Lynch

 

[Terry Yake]

favre, pace, harrison, atwater, and dungy would be my picks

TO should get in next year. warner i'm still unsure about

 

[Tony Romo]

IF harrison gets in over TO... oh man.

 

[Hasbro]

IF harrison gets in over TO... oh man.

I'd advise no one to take issue with Harrison.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Terrell Davis, Steve Atwater, Favre, TO and Warner all very deserving.

Sure the majority of posters on this board never saw Atwater play, but he defined what a hard hitting safety was and routinely murdered people over the middle. He was Sean Taylor before Sean Taylor was Sean Taylor. Terrell Davis is one of the greatest running backs in NFL history... screw the longevity excuse, if he had stayed healthy and played another 3 or 4 seasons he would have been a 1st ballot HOFer without a doubt.

IF harrison gets in over TO... oh man.

Haters Gon Hate (TO's haters that is, I share your opinion)

 

[Tecumseh]

Kenny Stabler should have been inducted a long time ago but it's sad if it takes him dying to finally get him in.

atwater is pretty much forgotten about these days. guy was a beast

they didn't call him smiling assassin for nothing

 

[raideralex99]

I'm sorry but what exactly has Dungy done besides being the first AA coach to win a SB.
He could not get the Bucs to the SB ... Gruden did it in his first year in Tampa.
The first minority coach to win a SB was Tom Flores and he won it twice why is he not in?

Hes lucky enough to have had Peyton Manning as his QB, otherwise those 5 AFC South titles dont happen, nor does the SB.

I agree hes overrated, hes only 22nd on the coaching wins list, behind non-HOFers Cowher, Holmgren, Knpx, Reeves & Schottenheimer. & that doesnt include the recent/active guys like Reid, Coughlin, Shanahan & Fisher.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Yeah I never got the hype either. He's a good guy but that doesn't equal the hall.

 

[Evincar]

I hope TD makes it in. He deserves it over Bettis.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Issac Bruce better get in. Loved that guy. Those Rams teams were off the charts fun to watch.
