Hall of Fame announces 2009 nominee list

johnerotten · 10-28-2008, 08:34 PM

i think brian mitchell should get in,i don't know if he will on the 1st ballott.only jerry rice has more total yards than BM does,and that's pretty impressive in my view.i think shannon sharpe she be a first ballott inductee.ralph wilson,bud adams,and ben"giving them the business"Dreith would get my vote,as would bob hayes.

johnerotten · 10-28-2008, 08:40 PM

sam mills too!

That Guy · 10-28-2008, 10:27 PM

i'd say bm has no real shot. i mean 23k special teams yards is nice and all, but if he were a better player, he wouldn't have been relegated like that... AND comparing his TD production to devin hester's isn't very impressive either.

12thMan · 10-28-2008, 11:44 PM

Jessie Armstead? Hmmm...

saden1 · 10-28-2008, 11:53 PM

John Randle and Bruce Smith are a lock.

Meks · 10-29-2008, 12:06 AM

amounth of redskins eligible is sweet.

Monkeydad · 10-29-2008, 11:02 AM

My picks for getting in:

Russ Grimm
Bruce Smith
Shannon Sharpe
Clay Matthews
Darren Woodson
Ray Guy

Of course, we know the voters are on crack sometimes (Mike Irvin reference for getting in before Monk).

I thought only five get in each year.

While there is no set number for any class of enshrinees, the ground rules provide that between four and seven new members will be selected.

My choices for this year:
Bruce Smith
Rod Woodson
Russ Grimm
Richard Dent
Ray Guy

I think Hall voters need to stop ignoring the contributions of special teams players. It's just ridiculous that someone like Ray Guy can't get a sniff of the Hall. B-Mitch is definitely deserving based on his overall play. The guy could do it all.

By Peter King's logic, Shannon Sharpe doesn't deserve it because he was surpassed by Tony Gonzalez as the all-time yardage, receptions, and TD leader.

Without doing the research I'm just not sure about Jesse Armstead. Sure, a solid player, but HOF worthy?

A case could be made for him. He's a 5 time Pro Bowl player and his stats are pretty solid. In his prime he was one of the better players at his position. I doubt he would get in but his resume is quietly better than some might realize.
