With Some Good Luck

…and a smidge of hard work, maybe we can even get 2 Broncos into the hall this year out of Sharpe, Davis, and Little.

That would be fantastic!

TD belongs in the Hall!

But I’m afraid that, years into the future, we will be talking about him the way we now talk about Little. It’s a crime, but I’m afraid that’s how it’s going to go.

But Sharpe and Little better get in this year!

Sharpe has the best odds

TD deserves it except for how his career got cut too short to make it more of a slam dunk. Sharpe I’d give about a 75% chance this time out. Terrell about 40% and Little about in the same boat, alas.

There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos fan in Niners/Raiders country, and damned proud of it.

Nice.

Good luck to them.

Don't argue with fools. It's how they reproduce.

Good to hear.

I hope the committee uses their brain and puts Sharpe in this year.

why some of the players that made the list are favored. Why is Aeneas Williams listed along side Emmett, Jerry, and Sharpe. I love TD, he should be in the hall, but E. Smith, Rice, and Sharpe are the only clear cut HOF players in this class. Carter was good, not dominate, Tim Brown has good stats, but he was the only threat on the Raiders for a lot of years. I don’t think that means he is HOF worthy.

Carter & Brown

Carter is considered by many (including myself ) to be the 2nd best receiver of all time. He ranks 3rd in catches, 7th in yards, and 4th in touchdowns. His hands were amazing.

Tim Brown excelled at receiver and at returner. He lead the league in KR yardage in 1988, PR yardage in 1994, and receptions in 1997. Not many players can claim something like that.

Both are fantastic and add to an absolutely amazingly strong class at the top this year. If any of those guys get left off it’s because the committee really wanted a defensive player in, and there are several deserving guys from that group. 4 of these candidates rank in the top 7 all-time for sacks, like Kevin Greene with 160.

TD?

I love TD as much as any fan, but he doesn’t even belong in the conversation for the Hall. No matter how good they are, three fantastic seasons is not anything close to a HoF resume. It’s not the Hall of Might Have Been. I mean, Priest Holmes had a few dominating seasons too, but if a Chiefs fan claimed he had anything approaching a HoF career I’d laugh in his face.
