Class of 2023 Hall Of Famers

[maust]

Don Coryell, about F'n time.
Schefty must really like him some Ronde Barber, he's on his list twice

 

[Pape]

A truly underwhelming class of enshrinees

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Congrats to Darrelle Revis, a true New England Patriot. He’ll always be remembered in blue and white, despite playing for some losers.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Was Ronde Barber really THAT good?

 

[sb1]

If Zach Thomas is in feels like that should open the door for Bruschi.

 

[Crazy World of Troy Brown]

Darrell Revis 29 INT's 1 SB
Otis Smith 29 INT's 1 SB - had nice INT in SB
This is a joke.
How on earth Eric Allen not in, Sammuel, Buckley. Old timers who won Championships, getting penalized because no SB's available.

don coryell ... 36 years to get in... maybe if it takes near 4 decades to get in...

Was Ronde Barber really THAT good?

good... but not HoF good imo...

 

[Kontradiction]

It’s going to be tedious to watch two acceptance speeches by Ronde Barber. The NFL has really lost it.

 

[Brotherblues]

If Zach Thomas is in feels like that should open the door for Bruschi.

Bit much, no?

 

[BTTA]

They won't even know if its Ronde making either of his two speeches.

 

[bresna]

good... but not HoF good imo...

RE: Barber & the HOF... Everyone felt that Revis was a lock. So look at this and guess - which one is Barber and which one is Revis?

i know which one is Revis.

im not sure why you felt the need to post this, because it doesn't make the point you think it makes... the lesson here is simple, Revis was a shut down corner, Barber wasn't - QBs avoided throwing at Revis for a decade, and when they did, he shut them down... Barber? not so much... your thoughtfully provided numbers bear that out...

Revis belongs in the HoF, and there is a reason he was a first ballot selection... Ronde Barber? good player, but come on...

 

[RobertWeathers]

Whatever. List seems ok to me.

I had forgotten just how great a career Zach Thomas had.

Coryell and Klecko were way, way overdue.

 

[bresna]

For me, Joe Klecko is the one I don't really get. He led the league in sacks one season. That's all it takes now? He was on some pretty terrible Jets teams and wasn't able to elevate them. I think Klecko actually benefited from the fact that the NFL didn't track tackles back then.

I'm guessing Revis is the one with the far lower volume stats because he wasn't allowing completions and QBs generally felt it was bad business throwing his way.

Since when does "no one threw at him" become a Hall Of Fame stat? Career numbers are what we got. Barber had them in spades.

BTW - our "shutdown corner" gave up the easy TD in that Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, I know he was picked by the ref but it's still fun to say this.

I'm guessing at least since the advent of network television but probably before

 

[Steve102]

Air Coryell was one of those innovators that don't get enough respect IMO. 100% deserved.

I literally cannot believe you said that.

Is this a joke? Sarcasm? Am I missing something here?
