Congrats to Freeney!
In other news, Devin Hester over Reggie Wayne is criminal. |

Man that is awesome! Listening to Chappy today, said the guy is absolutely revered by the 50 electors. Great for him!

I'm a huge Wayne fan and I think he should be a HOFer, but to be fair, Hester was the best at what he did.

That's great news. I'm honestly surprised. Peppers was going to be a guarantee... so having two players at the same position makes it tougher. On top of that, I truly thought people would go by the numbers and put Jared Allen in before him.
It's nice to know the voters actually watched football and remember the week-to-week impact... or at least Chappell did a good job of reminding everyone (he's usually good at putting these HOF guys in perspective for others). Quote:
Wayne vs. Johnson is a legitimate contest and I have no issue with anyone that gives the edge to Johnson. Hester is getting in 90% due to '06 and '07. Probably the other 10% is due to a lesser resurgence in '10 and '11. So we're already talking about a returner vs. a wide receiver in terms of football impact... and on top of that, we're only really talking about 4 seasons. Hester should be competing against Josh Cribbs in the ST category. Not eating up a space that should go to Wayne. |

As much as I think that Reggie Wayne was an all time Colt great, I am not sure I would say he was an NFL great. He was extremely consistent, but I am not sure he was feared by defenses like Harrison was. It is the same thing for Andre Johnson, great player over a long period of time, but I am not sure I think either are really Hall of Fame calibre. I don't think that there was any point in the NFL when anyone thought that Wayne was the best receiver in the league? The year he led the league in yardage, Randy Moss had 23 TD's, as an example.
Glad to see Freeney in though, as I do believe that he was truly feared by offensive co-ordinators throughout his career and at times single handily changed gameplans. Last edited by ukcolt; 02-09-2024 at 07:26 PM. |

Reggie Wayne was a Top 10 WR in the NFL for over a decade. There was a stretch (I would say 2007-2010) where he was arguably the best WR in the NFL. Comparatively, Devin Hester was a flash in the pan and as a kick/punt returner. It's not even close which one should be in the Hall of Fame and which shouldn't right now, but the voters got it wrong.

That, and when the Denver Broncos' center hiked the ball clear over Peyton Manning's head and into the end-zone for a safety on the first play from scrimmage against the Seahawks. o
