HOF Candidates

I think a strong case could be made for both LT and CB.

I think Ray Guy of course definitely belongs in the HOF. I think Doug Flutie does too actually, and other CFL and USFL beasts, as long as it's the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Great point Smoot. I was surprised the first time I visited that there is only NFL players in. Its called the Pro Football HOF but its really the NFL HOF.

There is one player in the Hall who never played in the NFL.

Can anyone name him without looking it up?

That's a good guess, but I don't think that's right. He's more recent than that

More guesses:
Billy Cannon - was he not purely an AFL player?

Joe Gibbs - did he not have a short career playing in the AFL?

Lotus · 07-09-2009, 04:57 PM

Buddy Bell of the Chiefs?

John Madden............or Daniel Eugene "Rudy" Ruettiger

Not Thorpe, SS is right more recent

Lotus · 07-09-2009, 04:28 PM

Otto Graham? Didn't he play only in the old AAFC? (I really want to look that up but it would break the rules).

I use to think the way alot of people do that the guys have to be perfect to be in the HOF,great career ...great all around guy, good husband and farther...never a blemish.Then the older I got I realized these guys leave the only thing they have known most of the lives and start living a new life all over,to expect them to be perfect and have no flaws ...isn't fare to them but were do you draw the line?AS for Harrison ...no I don't think he should go,he shows no regret over the suspenion and just played the game dirty.

I don't think someone has to be perfect to make it. No one is perfect. But the line has to be drawn somewhere. Would/should O.J. go in knowing what we know today?

It's actually really hard, and not a common name when people think of football greats. First off, it's not a QB, WR, or RB (which instantly makes it a lot harder). Secondly, think of guys like Lamar Hunt, Joe Namath, Al Davis and what they were heavily involved with about 50 years ago
