Will These Players Ever Make It Into The Pro Football HOF?
- Thread starter The Evil Genius
- Start date
Boomer Esiason - Yes - very solid left handed QB, who took his team to the superbowl and almost beat the niners. Yes
Ricky Watters - No - Very versatile runner. He had size and speed, and great moves for a back. He fumbled a lil too much for me
Amahn Green - No - If he had been able to stay healthy and wasn't so fumble prone, he would have definitely been a hall of famer. Very strong runner
Sterling Sharpe - He was should be in the Hall right now. Because his career was cut short, they are penalizing him (The same with Terell Davis, a clear HOFer in my eyes)
Vinny Testerverde - No - He put up solid numbers, but also had a very high Interception rate. Big arm, but too risky because of it.
Herchell Walker - No - He had College Hall of Fame numbers, but didn't put up up the numbers consistently in the NFL. He wasted way too many years in the USFL. If you add his USFL numbers I'd say yes, but you can't do that
Andre Rison - Yes - He will be penalized not for his play, but for his attitude off the field.
Drew Bledsoe - Yes - It will take time, but he'll get in. He's not a high priority to get in anytime soon.
Roger Craig - Yes - He is being remembered for his last costly fumble instead of being remembered for being a beast on the field. How quickly they forget about the 1,000 yds rushing/1000 yds receiving he put up. The dude is one of the reasons Joe Montana was able to be so efficient. He was that much of a threat whenever he touched the ball.
Tim McDonald - Yes - He was a anchor on alot of good 49er teams, and only because they didn't get to the big game will it take a while for him to get in
Herman Moore - Yes - Even without a consistently good QB, he put up big numbers and also provided enough of a threat to help free Barry Sanders from being clobbered.
Let's go ahead and add Terell Davis, Steve Gannon and a few more i can't think of off top.

^^put kenny stabler in the hall...then we'll start talkin about any of those guys.... everyone mentioned had a good 3 to 5 run but didn't sustain it over a career...take roger craig for instance, the most deserving guy on the list played the bulk of his career with the 9ers isn't even the 49ers all time leading rusher...
and lol at steve gannon...billy joe tolliver, bobby hebert, wade willson and mike tomczak didn't want none???

they should just open the doors and let everyone who put pads on in....
look at it this way, im gonna use another sport as an example but credentials for the HOF are the same in any sport....roger maris, the man who held the record for most home runs in a season for 30 years, is not in the hall of fame...

Oh really....Well, lets see..
Boomer Esiason....Took his team to a SB and damn near beat Frisco....1988 NFL MVP....Passed for more then 3,000 yards about 5 times and threw for over 500 yards in a game as a member of the Cardinals....never was considered the worst QB in the league...He just playe don some shitty ass jets and Cardinal squads in the 90's.
Ricky Watters....Scored 3 TD's in a Super Bowl....Ran for more then 1,200 yards 4-5 times....1,000 yard back for a Niner team that made the NFC Championship game 3 years in a row...Holds playoff record with 5 rushing TD's vs. Giants.
Amahn Green.....Holds GB record for most rushing yards in a season....Ran for 1,000 yards 5-6 times
Sterling Sharpe....Once held the record for most catches in season......Ha no less then 1,000 receiving yards every year except like 2-3 years....Hlped Bret Favre out by giving him a go-to Wide Out when Favre was still getting his feet wet.
Vinny Testerverde.....Played about 18 years and was steady most of the time....Played ina couple pro Bowls, a few playoff appearances and was starter damn near his entire career
Herchell Walker....First player to have over 700 rush and receiv yrds in back to back seasons...Only player to have a ko, catch and run over 90 yards in same season....Top five in NFL history for all-purpose yards
Terrell Buckley.....Numbers are better then alot of the greats and HOF.....Only isuue with T-Buck was his height and inconsistancy but was a phenomenal athlete and big play-making corner.
Andre Risen....Not a brner but great seperation from db's....put up huge numbers with Atlanta, got SB ring with Packers and played well with Chiefs.....Career numbers are huge too
Drew Bledsoe....Once signed the biggest contract in NFL history before getting hurt and losing job to Brady...Only great players get contracts like that...Also took team to SB and won the AFC championship against Steelers when Brady went out with injury prior to playing the Rams
Not great careers but steller careers....Everything i tped was off the top of my head and I didn't look it up either.
