Former Patriot Ty Law and 25 semi-finalists are being considered for the HoF (cast your vote now!)

[RayClay]

A lot of those aren't worthy. Sorry, voting for 15 players is totally pointless. I tried to vote for Law, would have for 5 if required maybe, but what the hell does voting for 15 do?

 

[convertedpatsfan]

Does this vote mean anything? I mean, I don't think the winner(s) get any extra credit towards enshrinement? Or am I wrong?

 

[RayClay]

Knowing what a corrupt BS world it is these days, I wouldn't doubt that's click bait, with every check counting as one.

I've lived a long time and never seen an era where practically everything is a scam.

OT, but, did you ever notice when there's an impossibly hot chick on an internet click bait story, she's never in any of the story features? Never.

I just copy the name in google images, take a look and move on now.

My favorite Patriot of all time has my vote. He destroyed Manning's post season career. That has to get him in lol. Plus those choices sucked. I'm not voting any crybaby Ram. TO got my vote for his celebrations alone and the kicker got mine because like I said, Warner and the Rams aren't getting it lol.

Awesome. He deserves to be there. At least serious consideration. By far, the best I've ever seen. So dominant they had to change the rules. First ballot lock imo.

He's been under consideration for a number of years - he cannot be a first ballot lock. However, I agree he deserves to be there. I don't think he'll make it this year though - warner, tomlinson, davis, dawkins and one other will make it.

Hines Ward...lol.

Seems like almost all these guys are solid candidates for the Hall of Very Good not the Hall of Fame.

Warner is not HOF worthy.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

Anyone feel Ty Law is worthy of HoF honors?

It's a curious case because from his career stats and comparing them to other hall of fame CBs, I would say he is borderline, and really should have a low end chance of making it in. But the guy was a bigtime playmaker and that Super Bowl pick six is the definition of a HOF play. It wouldn't be surprising if he gets in first or second ballot.

 

[Brick27]

TO and LT should be locks. Might get interesting after that.

 

[Joey007]

Man I hope Ty gets the nod. He deserves it big time.

 

[captain stone]

I nearly threw up in my mouth when I read the name Kevin Mawae.

That dirty, hypocritical feck-face should have to pay admission before ever entering the HOF.

 

[Joey007]

TO and LT should be locks. Might get interesting after that.

Probably one of Mawae/Faneca/Boselli. One of Lynch/Dawkins, and then yeah, Warner TD Law and Taylor all have decent shots, too. Law has a chance, but it'll be stiff competition.

 

[ahmed]

The fact that Kurt Warner is on this list is a massive joke...wonder if he would be anywhere near it if he were not on NFL Network.

 

[brdmaverick]

Ty deserves to be in.

I think the most interesting case study is Terrell Davis. Clearly one of the most dominating backs WHEN he did play. The problem is that he didn't play very long.

The other odd things against him is the myriad of running backs that had success in Denver following Davis such as.........

Mike Anderson
Olandis Gary
Clinton Portis
Reuben Droughns
Tatum Bell

 

[Big Bucks]

Now I know why Jimmy Johnson was being all nice to us the other day, bet he has been on a tour of he is the best I ever did see about other teams players and coaches. It all makes sense now.

 

[sb1]

Warner is not HOF worthy.

Then again... neither was Bettis and he got in so who knows.

MacGahee I guess.

I remember Portis as a Redskin... forgot he played for the Broncos too.

Davis is not HOF worthy for the reason that you pointed out.

Yes, they had their zone blocking scheme in place, but it would be a bit unfair to hold these other backs against him. The only one of those who had really exceptional seasons in Denver is Clinton Portis, and he rushed for four 1000 yard seasons while in Washington too. Davis in the four years before his knee got destroyed rushed for 6413 yards, 56 TDs at a rate of 4.8 ypc and was three times 1st Team All-Pro.

And then you go to the playoffs, eight playoff games, 1140 yards, 12 TDs, 5.6 ypc. That's 142.5 yards per game. I don't care how good the system is, you don't get these kind of numbers if you aren't exceptional. Davis is 6th all-time on the playoff rushing yards list. None of those ahead of him played less than 16 playoff games. Of the top-10 rushers seven are in the Hall, the other three are Davis, Marshawn Lynch and Chuck Foreman.

I think Davis is an interesting case. He is by no means a sure-fire Hall of Famer, but I don't think you can automatically exclude him because of his short history and Denver's other RBs either.
