Re: Is Mahomes ALREADY the best #15 ever??

I wouldn't say he is the best ever yet, either. One important factor is that Andy Reid isn't going to coach forever. KC needs to make sure they bring in the next coach who is going to have a strongly solid relationship with Mahomes. There has to be positive chemistry in order for there to be success...

Re: Seniors

Happy to see Gradishar on the list. Disappointed there is no Larry Grantham. Instead, there is Tommy Nobis and Clay Matthews, neither of whom I believe had stronger careers than Grantham. Looks like more disrespect to the AFL guys who deserve to be there.

Re: Weirdest Teams of All Time

How about the 2022 Minnesota Vikings?

-3 point differential but finished 13-4 as NFC North Division champs! 11 of their 13 victories were by one possession. But their four losses were ALL by double digits!

Re: Alex Smith Future HOVG or Hall Of Feel Good Story?

Just checked him out on PFR.com and I think he should be a lock for the HOVG. Winning record with every team he played for. Rought start with SF but led them to a great season in his last year there. Fantastic 14-2 TD to Int ratio in playoffs. 3 Pro Bowl selections. 3 separate times got votes for C...

Re: Longevity And The Terrell Davis HOF Injury Argument

Who knows where Bert Jones may have been had injuries not killed his career? He had three solid seasons, including a first-team all-pro choice and NFL MVP award. The talent he had, Jones could be in the HOF. Bill Belichick swears he is the most talented QB he ever watched.

Re: 3 seniors per year from 2023-2025, 9 total

I wish we would set a better example, but we do the exact same thing with the HOVG. Year after year we put in players that we watched growing up. Stanley Morgan got in the first time he came up for example, but a deserving player from the '30s like George Christensen gets passed over year after yea...

Re: 3 seniors per year from 2023-2025, 9 total

I just can't get behind the idea of making special provisions to allow for more seniors to be inducted. IMO, they should earn it under their own merit. If the HOF selectors can't find the players who are most deserving, then that is on them. They need to do their homework better.
