McNabb, Johnston, Anderson HOF nominees

[Eric15]

How is Gary Anderson not in the Hall of Fame already? He's arguably the greatest kicker ever. What am I missing?

He's a kicker.

Who was the last one to get in?

I agree with you, but - kicker.

 

[Eric15]

He's a kicker.

2nd most points scored in the history of the league. Points win games. I think it's a travesty he's not in yet.

It took forever for Ray Guy to get into the HOF, and he is the consensus greatest punter of all time. There's just no respect for kickers and punters.

Also, I don't know whether this is hilarious or depressing, but there is an entire Wikipedia page on his missed field goal in the Vikings/Falcons NFC title game.

Unfortunately he will be remembered for that missed kick more than anything else.

McNabb's record and stats are better than Jim Kelleys. He even has a better win % percentage in the playoffs if you can believe that.

I can't imagine that Johnston will ever be properly considered for the HOF either. Not that many fullbacks are in the hall either. Great, great player who opened holes for Emmit Smith for so many years. He could tote the ball also. Multiple SB rings also

when you are the best all time at a position that should mean something. when he left he was the best.

Yeah? Tell my wife that. She's forced me into retirement.

It's tough to hang with a legend.

Is this the first Gary Anderson-to-Britney Spears thread evolution in internet message board history?

Not a fan, but if you believe the Wikipedia, then no, he is not in the Ring. That surprises me.

He is not.

They only let in what, 5 guys per year. As great as Anderson was, it's hard to argue for a guy that never gets hit over a guy that does.

The 5 player limit has kept out a lot of deserving players. It may end up biting McNabb too.
