Sterling Sharpe, Steve McMichael among seniors finalists for Hall of Fame Class of 2024

The Pro Football Hall of Fame seniors committee has decided on 12 finalists for the Class of 2024.

How do you put Sterling Sharpe as your top senior WR candidate and not Morgan?

Sharpe:
595 receptions
8100 yards
13.7 YPC
65 TDs

Morgan:
557 receptions
10716 yards
19.4 YPC
72 TDs

Morgan played many more seasons, but he also played in the running back era, whereas Sharpe played at the start of the throwing era. Sharpe's QB was a gunslinger who threw constantly, while Morgan played on the best running team of all time.

Morgan being left out in favor of Sharpe is unjustifiable.

Agreed.

If you're a HOF voter, you should ask yourself this question: If their teams were reversed, would Drew Pearson or Lynn Swann, among other contemporaries maybe, have been voted ahead of Morgan?

If you're honest with yourself, then the answer would be a resounding HELL NO.

These ****ing voters instead have no ****ing perspective whatsoever.

Utter travesty. Given the inductee list this year I really thought he was finally going to get the recognition he’s deserved.

 

[Chevy]

Morgan and Gino ... Big, gaping, Vivid Video veteran sized hole in the HoF.

 

[TommyD4207]

Until Rodney Harrison gets his gold jacket, this whole institution is a complete farce.

I think Stanley is a HoFer, sure, but at least there's an argument against it that's reasonable. There is literally no excuse for Harrison not to be in the HoF. None. He checks every possible box.

Terrell Davis getting in was the big turning point, but it had been heading down that road for years.

Add Jon Morris, the best center in the history of the AFL not named Jim Otto.

What would the argument be?

 

[TommyD4207]

What would the argument be?

Not enough catches/yards/TDs considering some of the receivers with more who also aren't in. Also a pretty short prime, compared to some others.

Edit: I don't subscribe to that argument because of his YPC and era, but the argument itself is reasonable enough.

Of course, Terrell Davis got in, so basically if you play 4 seasons that's somehow good enough.

I'm surprised because his numbers are higher than people in the hall. Definitely more than Carmichael, Biletnikoff, Stallworth, Swann, Cliff Branch and Drew Pearson.

But he didn't even making to the finalist voting stage, while Sterling Sharpe did.

Terrell who?

Short prime? He had his best season in his 10th year. He retired at 5th in nfl history in receiving yards behind largent, lofton, joiner and Maynard and 10th in receiving TDs

Two other former Patriot WR's Harold Jackson & Henry Ellard, also trapped in the Hall of the Very Good
