HOF or not, if they never play another down...

[NewbieJr 541]

If something happened that never let these players play another down, would they be Hall of Famers?

 

My votes:

 

Warner- No

Brady- Yes

LT- No

Moss- No

Polamalu- No

 

What say you?

[td parker 1]

I'd change Brady to a no, other than that looks good.

[nyjetsfan 0]

Warner - maybe if he wins his 3rd mvp

brady - yes

LT - Yes - top 5 back all time

Moss - Yes - the most dominating WR ever

Polamalu - no

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

LT will be a yes, Brady will be a definite. Warner is probably going in (has SB win, MVP's, long time stats). Moss is going in as well (you could have TO as a definite). Polamalu does not have enough time logged to be considered (6th season).

Brady is already a lock for a first ballot HOF.

 

 

You suck at life.

[parrot 789]

Agreed.

[RamslovaMartzhata 3]

Warner - maybe

Polamalu - no (but will be soon enough)

 

Everyone else most definitely a yes, and first ballot one at that.

How is LT not a yes?

 

And why is Polamalu on this list?

[NewbieJr 541]

And why is Polamalu on this list?

To me, LT needs a few more good years. He's kind of ending things witha fizzle if he were to have to retire now. He had a few great seasons but didn't sustain long enough to be an all-time great, IMO.

[parrot 789]

Warner - maybe

 

Had Warner as a No but rethinking it looking at the numbers a little more. We all remember the SB and the MVPs and how prolific he was during the Rams halcyon days, but he was pretty damn efficient too. Third in career passer rating behind Young and Manning, second in completion percentage behind Pennington.

 

It was easy to forget just how good he was - until he has reminded us this year.

Brady- Yes

LT- No

Moss- No

Polamalu- No

 

What say you?

Warner - yes. look at some of the lists he's on and he has a SB and MVP

Brady - yes , if Bradshaw is in, so is Brady

LT - Yes

Moss - Yes

Polamalu - no, not yet

[The Hood 9]

How is LT not a yes?

 

And why is Polamalu on this list?

Good questions.

 

LT has the 14th most rushing yards. 5th best rush yards per game. 3rd in rushing TD's and 6th in total TD's. Best RB in the game for more years than most great ones have been. He would be in 1st ballot. And I think he a bit of a whiny punk too.

 

Moss might have enough to get in now too. WR's are tough to tell because lots of guys have great stats that are never getting in. Moss's dominance for many of his playing years and so many TD's I think would put him in.

 

Brady - yes. Don't think he should be at this point but but HOF voters love to put in QB's and the 3 Superbowl's would get him in plus the sympathy that this injury ended his career coming off the best QB season ever.

 

Warner - no

[TD Ryan2 316]

Brady and Moss = Already In

 

Warner and LT = maybe

 

Polamalu = not even close yet

[Trojan35 0]

While Polamalu is the biggest play safety I've seen since Ronnie Lott, defensive players with short careers do not make it into the HoF. He'll need more games played to get in.

[jvirne 0]

If they never played another down?

 

Brady - 1st ballot HOF

 

Peyton Manning - 1st ballot HOF

 

Farve - the most obvious 1st ballot HOFer still playing.

 

Moss - might have to wait a couple years, but yes.

 

Warner - I think he'd eventually get in. He'll be one of those guys who linger around in the top 15 for years, but he'll eventually get in, especially since he's doing so well again. If it were based only on his St. Louis years, there's no way.

 

Though he retired last year, I'll mention that Jonathon Ogden will be another first ballot HOF. He absolutely DOMINATED at his position for over a decade.

 

Walter Jones is a strong candidate.

 

Kevin Mawae is a HOFer. Maybe not first ballot, but he's in for sure.

 

Ray Lewis will get in. Like Moss, he might have to wait a couple years, but he's in.

 

Ed Reed? Hmmm. I think he's ahead of Polamalu at this point, but if either of their careers ended tomorrow, neither would get into the HOF. Both are 1 or 2 good years away from making it though.

 

I HATE to admit this, but T.O. will get in too.

[jvirne 0]

Here's a more interesting one:

 

What about Jamal Lewis?

 

I want to say NO WAY, but he does have the 2nd most yards in a single season, at one time held the most yards in a single game record, AND has a Superbowl ring.

 

Plus he's still playing quite well. Not amazing, but for his age and wear, he's still a productive RB.

 

I think he'll get in.

[parrot 789]

I have to revise what I said about Warner before, he is actually First in career completion percentage and first in yards per game. That combination of stats alone should get any QB with a moderately lengthy career into the hall of fame.

[Four More Beers 0]

I'd vote for all of them, but I agree with all those that say that Troy P. probably isn't in yet and Warner is borderline.

 

You guys that think Brady isn't already a lock are off your rockers.

[Foghorn Leghorn 0]

 

I agree with this too.

[Durtee 0]

[Dallas_Empire 0]

Randy Moss has the best chance to take Rice's yards and TD record. Moss is still only 30 and now second all time in TDs. The guy is a HOFer.

[redtodd 7]

Surprised you didn't take LT. I think he is a 1st ballot HOF.

 

Warner will be interesting, but I think he will get there. Maybe not the 1st try.

 

Too soon for Palumalu.

 

Moss is in.

[JT 137]

all are locks except Polamalu. He probably needs to play 8-10 years.

[Stalker711 0]

Brady is a first ballot HOF, but I don't personally feel he's worthy. I think that just like Troy Aikman, he is a good game manager who can win some on his own, but only had 1 really dominant season. I don't care if he has 20 SB rings, if he wasn't a dominant QB, he's not worthy. I don't want to tak my kids to the HOF to show them really good game managers. I want to go there and show them the best players ever at each position.

 

At this point, Drew Brees is more HOF worthy to me than Tom Brady.

[Dont_Fook_Wit_me 0]

I know he has already stoped playing but do you think Bettis will be considered a HOf? I think so......

 

As for others i think they will all get in except polamalu

Brady is a HOF. You are crazy.

[Hampton 0]

Consensus has LT as first ballot and Warner out. MVP comparison? Super Bowl ring comparison? As teamate comparison? Guess I don't follow.

[Dont_Fook_Wit_me 0]

Brady is a HOF. You are crazy.

 

4 sure, Honestly the only QB still playing that i think should and will get into the hall over him is Farve....I mean you can't deny all that Brady has done since he became a starter, I meen the playoff record he has, The SB's he has won, The records he has broken and made his, The way he made use of evryone on the feild.....Your crazy if you think he wont get in or dont deserve it...

Aikman was one of the most accurate passers to ever play the game. He sacrifices his stats so Dallas could run the ball with Emmitt.

Randy Moss has the best chance to take Rice's yards and TD record. Moss is still only 30 and now second all time in TDs. The guy is a HOFer.

 

Randy Moss will never touch Jerry's records.

 

In order to perform at a high enough level for a long enough time, a receiver has to be extremely dedicated, run perfect routes, take excellent care of their body, etc.

 

I just don't see a guy like Randy putting in the work it would take to be great long enough to catch Jerry. Once his freakish speed and jumping ability slips, Randy is done.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

Here's one for you.

 

Marvin Harrison, In or out?

 

I say in, although the outcome of his criminal trouble may play a determinative factor.

Marvin is a lock.

 

1st ballot? depends on the class that year. But a lock to get in.
