I will not talk bad about any player..but how is it that the “Bus” has not been voted into the hall of fame.. 5 all time when he was playing…change the perception that a big back (~>250 lbs)..can make people miss, but also run through defenders…Jerome Bettis should be in the Hall of fame!!!

To the expert who said Andre Reed couldn’t carry Carter or Brown’s jockstrap and that any debate was invalid – get over yourself. From watching the broadcast Rod Woodson sure indicated that he could and point blank endorsed him over the other two. But then what does he know? Only covered these guys for 15 years and by the way a member of the 75 Yr NFL team and a first ballot HOF himself. Even Deion has praised Reed in the past. And remember Buffalo weather in Dec and Jan is not like playing in the Metro Dome or the Bay Area.

Don’t see why one has to denigrate another to make a case for the one you favour. Obvious the selection committee had them ranked as Carter, Reed & Brown in that order.

And Reed doesn’t have to carry any other WRs jockstrap with the notable exception of Jerry Rice (and Don Hutson from the early days of the NFL) – just like every other WR to date.

This guy was spot on with his post about Reed. Also, add in the fact that Buffalo actually ran the ball 60% of the time in the K-Gun and Reed STILL put up the numbers he did. Reed was the best WR ever to go over the middle. Reed got robbed again!!!

Carter had the best hands ive ever seen.Sapp getting in was a reach i think.Dominant DT no doubt but as someone who also thought Strahan was overrated they both did not deserve to get in.Larry Allen was a beast and Ogden as well.Parcells is in because of reputation more than results.If the Bills didnt go wide right,would Parcells be in this discussion?Charles Haley is the biggest joke of all.5 rings-a guy you had to account for all the time who came up big in the big games.

Warren Sapp was not even the best defensive player on his team Brooks was. The man was cut and was a total flop with the Raiders. Strahan put up big numbers without a Lynch,Brooks, or Barber(the non annoying version). So yes I believe Strahan was the better player and yes he’s also a better man.

All the WRs have stats. I don’t want to say stats are meaningless, but does anyone really think Donald Driver was a better receiver than Don Hutson or Sterling Sharpe?

Good group this year – much better than last year.

And just for the record, I am glad Modell did not get in, and not out of any resentment – I just cannot for the life of me figure out how Art Modell is even being considered for the HOF. As an owner his greatest accomplishments were firing Paul Brown, getting Jim Brown to quit football, and moving his team to another city.

His team won one lousy title in 40 years, he was not one-tenth as influential in the marriage of television and the NFL as Pete Rozelle, and why he is getting credit for revenue sharing I do not know. It was easy for the owner of the money-losing Browns to ask for revenue sharing from the big market teams. The league’s hero was Wellington Mara who agreed to it. And by the way, Mara deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Warren Sapp’s induction has officially rendered the Pro Football Hall of Fame irrelevant.

Don’t worry. The Hall regained it’s credibility when it left Modell out. Again.

Issac Bruce makes it a log jam next year as well at WR. Bruce had over 1000 receptions for over 15000 yards (that is more receiving yards then Carter, Brown and Reed all had, Brown does have another 5000 return yards). Please just put them in. NFL needs to let a few extra in every year in my opinion.

I’m please with all of the inductees. Congrats guys.

I’m especially glad that they didn’t honor that turncoat Judas Modell.

May he never see the Hall.

Don’t know how Strahan didn’t get in and Sapp did(I think both are deserving but Strahan was better, and I’m an Eagles fan and hate both of them). Same thing with Carter over Brown. Brown had over 5000 more all purpose yards. Again both should get in but Brown was better.

Parcells quitting in the Giants the way he did ( late) and sticking us with Handley over Cleveland’s Belichek always will rub mecthecwrong way but I loved him from like 85-90. He was a classic. Def. a HOF coach.

Calvin just called in.

Said he doesn’t think Chris Carter is in the Top 5 players from this class. Said he just goes by what he sees on tape.

Says he’s good, but just not Top 5.

Congrats Sapp Daddy. You are a total turd of a person, but there isn’t one poster here calling you out that wouldn’t want you on their squad. You were purified hell on the field. I’m glad you were a pot head at The U or the Bucs would never have been able to touch you at number 8 in the draft. Brooks will join you as a 1st ballot hall of famernext year so you and Lee Roy don’t get lonely in the newly built Buccaneer wing in the hall of fame. All the haters from the other teams can suck it! If Strahan would have got that All Pro spitting gap fixed in his grill he might have made it 1st ballot but at least he’s sacking Kelly Ripa!

Some real egomaniacs kept Strahan out. They take it too far. How can you leave Strahan out? Makes no sense. Baseball is worse.

Looking forward to seeing Bettis and Greene getting inducted together. Surprised Better didn’t get in this year. Good for Cris Carter.

Autumnritual is clearly not a Dolphins fan. Parcells took a big fat nasty stinky dump on our franchise, and when it was clear how badly he failed, he took the remaining millions on his contract and skipped out. Just like Saban.

In 2008, the Falcons were just as bad as us and look at them since.

We’re talking about the Hall of Fame. And when we’re talking Hall of Fame, the ENTIRE résumé counts. Not just the good parts.

Congrats to this year’s inductees, particularly to Cris Carter, who has been slighted for far too long. I’m thrilled to see Bill Parcells get his much-deserved recognition as one of the game’s great coaches. It’s terrific for the Ravens fanbase to have Jonathan Ogden admitted to the hall on a weekend when their team is playing in the Super Bowl. Hope it’s a double for them with a win tomorrow night.

Otherwise, I am extremely disappointed about Jerome Bettis, and sorry Kevin Greene didn’t make the final cut. Maybe next year.

At one point in a early 60′s season,Jerry Kramer of the Packers was tied with Jim Brown for the leagues leading scorer,,9 games in.He kicked field goals and extra points and oh,he also played guard and was the man who made the fabled Power Sweep go.Chosen first team most years he played(think pro bowl)Was the starter on 6 League Championship games in 7 years,winning 5 of the 6.
But he’s not in the HOF.
And they enshrine Warren Sapp?

Im confusing the HOF voters with the government now.

Another fan who cannot understand why Jerry Kramer isn’t in the Hall. Robinson certainly deserved it but so does Kramer.

Just remember, not one person Parcells drafted in 2008 is still with the team (and he had the #1 pick), and the Head Coach he picked has since been fired by not one but TWO teams.
——————————————————
The above could be one of the most uninformed posts I’ve ever read here. Are you familiar with Parcells’ work with the Giants, Patriots, and Jets – complete resurrections of three franchises! You’re quibbling over the 2008 Parcells Cowboys draft? You’re not too swift, fella.
