		<description><![CDATA[Of course Cris Carter gets in if the cocaine cowboy Irvin and James Lofton are HOF&#039;ers then Cris is for sure. I mean STOP the character attacks (see Michael Irvin) and the numbers talk (see James Lofton). Just watch a little film, the circus catches the winning TDs and he invented stretching the ball for the first down and if he didn&#039;t invent that little 2 yard Touchdown fade he mastered it, also he has the best hands ever at least according to me and NFL Network but what do they know. Just ask Buddy Ryan all he does is catch Touchdowns.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cris Carter’s stats match up well with just about any WR

----------------------------------
No they don&#039;t.  His longevity matches up well with just about anyone.

He is not top 50 in any efficiency stat.

There are WRs who are on pace or comparable to Rice for efficiency stats. (no one quite as good as him): Andre Johnson, Fiztgerald, Irvin, Sterling Sharpe, Art Monk, Tory Holt, Don Hutson (no idea who that is), Bob Hayes, Steve Largent, Lynn Swane.

Carter is not on par with those guys]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Insane that he is not in yet. Those of you saying that the WR position is overrated.....really? When is the last time that a Quarterback got in the Hall based on his rushing stats? The QB depends 100 percent on receivers to win or lose a game, and Carter was one of the best at it. His only true knock is that he never got a ring, but that is not the deciding factor for HOF membership.  I can understand a case against him not getting in on the first ballot, but after 5 years its getting ridiculous. He was a leader on and off the field (after he turned his life around with Minnesota) and had the best hands of anyone except Rice in the NFL.]]></description>

I would have loved Carter to ask Irvin...do you think YOU should have gotten in the HOF before me?  Reed, Carter and Brown should all have been voted in prior to Irvin.  For those of you who say Carter is a whiner, does anyone remember Irvin the first year he didn&#039;t get in...cried (literally) and complained about the process.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where is Cliff Branch’s name? It’s make me wanna puke that Timmy would go in before Cliff (Speed Kills) Branch. This guy has three rings and played in all 3 SB’s all won by the Raiders…

Branch has better stats than Swann – check it out..
-----------------------------------------------

You&#039;re 100% right.  On career stats, postseason stats, playing his best against the best in the biggest games, Cliff Branch is a surefire Hall of Famer to anyone he played with or against.  the greatest deep threat of his era.  For some reason the voters don&#039;t see it that way.

		<description><![CDATA[You dont hear any of Carter&#039;s former teammates or coaches championing his cause for the hall.

Why?

Because all he cared about was his stats.  He never showed up in the big games and hurt his team almost as much as he helped even with his talent. 

Football is the ultimate team game and when your teammates dont think you belong in the hall then who am I to argue?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please do not mention Cris Carter....or the majority of any WRs who played since DBs had their hands tied...in the same sentence as Steve Largent.

Steve Largent was a 5&#039;11&quot;, 180 lb, #1 wide receiver.  If you think that&#039;s some kind of joke, you never saw him play.  Even more than being a wide receiver, he was a football player.  The two plays from his career that I remember the most are:  1)  The hit he put on Mike Harden after an INT.  Harden had cheap-shotted him in Denver earlier that year, and in the rematch, Harden gets a pick and Largent puts one of the greatest hits of all-time on him forcing a fumble and leaving Harden dizzy.   Youtube search &quot;Largent hit on Harden&quot; for the video.  2)  On a screen pass against the Bears in the 80s, he gets out front and puts a textbook block on Mike Singletary, who outweighed him by 60-70 pounds, to spring John L. Williams for a 75 yard touchdown.

Lester Hayes called Largent the best WR he ever played against.  Carter would have been so much roadkill under Lester&#039;s cleats.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main problem I have with someone bitterly complaining about his non-election to a hall of fame is this -- if you truly were a hall-of-fame player -- like a Jerry Rice, Raymond Berry, or Paul Warfield, you are going to be selected on the first ballot.  All, by the way, were WRs.  The other notables -- Don Hutson, Fred Biletnikoff, Don Maynard, and Steve Largent -- were simply among the top 3 WRs of their eras.  CC&#039;s problem is that some voters simply can&#039;t bring themselves to conclude that he was one of the top three WRs in his era because his era was filled with so many excellent WRs.  The voters don&#039;t want to fill the hall with WRs simply because they have numbers inflated by rules preventing defenders from hitting the QB or essentially touching WRs after 5 yards.  Can you blame them?]]></description>

What i dont understand is how Carter doesn’t make it in but Irvin a player with a lot off the field issues that numbers don’t come close to cater’s makes it in his first try? lets not add how Jerry Rice (the best WR ever and possibly a top 3 player of all time) on his HOF ceremony got outshined by Emmitt Smith a player that is not even in the top 30 all time 

hmm a little cowboy biased people?
_________________________________

Can&#039;t decide what&#039;s funnier.......Carter&#039;s whining and crying, or the fact that you think there&#039;s a bias FOR Cowboys to get into the HOF????

Where have you been??? The HOF voting committee has overlooked the Cowboys for years and with people like Balzer, Ira Ledger and especially Peter King carrying the anti-Cowboys media bias, that&#039;s why &#039;Boys fans like me get on here calling for at the very least, a fair and just process.....because Dallas has suffered from the yellow journalism and bias of the committee.

And try giving your opinion to:
- Drew Pearson
- Harvey Martin (RIP)
- Cliff Harris
- Ed Jones
- Charles Haley

There are 5 HOF-ers right there that should be in the Hall today.......for example, Harris is the only member of the NFL&#039;s all-time 70s team NOT in the HOF.

And suggesting that Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith shouldn&#039;t be in the HOF shows you know nothing about football and nothing about those Cowboys teams........]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Carter&#039;s comments demonstrate what kind of impact cocaine has in the long-term.

Clearly he&#039;s a little delusional.

He has the numbers and he deserves to get in, but that&#039;s all he has and he still doesn&#039;t &quot;get it&quot;......

Every WR in the HOF has intanglibles that Carter will never have.

Irvin is in because of his leadership.....without him, those Cowboys teams would never have won 3 in 4 years.

Largent is in because he is an HOF with the numbers when he retired and he&#039;s a class guy.

CC has none of those things and he alienated himself from virtually everyone he came in contact with.

Too bad, no one has told him this.....maybe if he came out with a mea culpa he might win back some people, but his ego is so out of control it will never happen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;“Hello? Santonio Holmes? John Taylor? The position itself creates the QB legacy, and the largest totals, and game changing plays put QB’s in Super Bowls.”
————————————————————–

hey tatum – you just proved all of our points that wide receiver is overrated and easily replaceable.

tell me in what other position can you get rid of the SUPERBOWL MVP and not miss a beat?

No – thank YOU for playing.&quot;


Yeah, losing Larry Brown killed the Cowboys.

As long as it&#039;s not a QB, you can likely survive the loss of one guy who happened to be the MVP of one particular game.

Also, the Steelers really, really could have used Holmes in that loss to the Packers. I absolutely think they win that game if they have him. Assuming he doesn&#039;t pout and they still get there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is the HALL OF FAME

not the hall of really good…

Rice and Carter played during the same era.

Rice has 8000 more yards, 67 more TDs, and 20 yards per game more.

Carter is not even top 50 in the efficiency metrics.

What about Carter makes him a HOFer?

He was great, no doubt, he was not a HOFer.
___________________________________

if you&#039;re going to compare WR&#039;s to Jerry Rice then no WR will ever make the HOF ever again.  He&#039;s the GOAT, comparing other&#039;s stats to him is completely unfair.  Take away Jerry Rice and Cris Carter&#039;s stats match up well with just about any WR.  130 TD&#039;s alone means he should be in the Hall.]]></description>
