Kraft a semifinalist for HOF

[SHOWTIME15]

lots of luck, RK

 

[Guts]

If Jones is in the HOF then RK deserves to get in

 

[Kontradiction]

From the Wall of Fame at Orchids of Asia to, potentially, the NFL Hall of Fame. Many salutations, Bobby.

 

[Ring 6]

Stanley Morgan is more deserving.

 

[TommyD4207]

Stanley Morgan is more deserving.

Bucko Kilroy might be even more deserving, but yes.

 

[venecol]

These two beauties will be in the front working their hands and kissing Kraft's bust.

 

[DarrylS]

Both deserve this honor..

 

[italian pat patriot]

All 3 deserve it...

 

[farn]

I’d rather they skip owners all-together. Reeks of Hollywood awards : running a company and thanking yourself for it.

I think Robert belongs in but something doesn't seem right if he goes in before Rodney.

I agree with this... but since they don't skip owners, RK is definitely deserving.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Without RK in 2011 to resolve the CBA stalemate after Goodell f-ed it up while he was in shiva mourning Myra gets him in.

I think Robert belongs in but something doesn't seem right if he goes in before Rodney.

Rodney Harrison is likely never going to get into the HOF. His reputation as a dirty player is likely going to be a black mark against him.

My thoughts in general. Kraft deserves to be in. Six rings and four more Super Bowl appearances. He was instrumental in keeping labor peace in multiple CBA extensions.

Morgan also deserves to be in. The guy will likely forever hold the record for average YPC for receivers with over 500 career catches. He unfortunately played on a Patriots team that was mostly considered a joke throughout his career. And let's face it. Grogan was not a prolific passer. Grogan was more of a dual threat of scrambling ability and passing than a pure passer. If Morgan had a better passer, he would easily gotten into the Hall by now. Don't get me wrong. I love Grogan, but he was no Marino or Montana or Kelly or Fouts or any other prolific passer of the late 70s and 80s.

And I think Rodney should be in, but again his reputation works against him. And I think the reputation is largely undeserved.

 

[Ring 6]

Bucko Kilroy might be even more deserving, but yes.

Way more. Owners should not be in the hall of fame. Especially in a capped league.

More than half of that list should be ahead of Kraft and that doesn’t include names I don’t d en recognize who actually contributed to the game on the field. Basically all the owners should be at the bottom in whatever order you would like.

While it is documented that he played a key role, one has to figure things would’ve worked out. Players - especially nfl players - can’t help themselves. They spend, their careers are short, they aren’t united…

I agree an agreement would eventually had been reached. Question is when.
