Re: Eye Test for Two revelation

Honestly, Slater wasn't a slam dunk to me for HOF, for HOVG, sure - great choice. But he isn't mentioned in this article for example: https://profootballresearchers.com/archives/Website_Files/Coffin_Corner/07-05-233.pdf . Dilweg, Emerson, Lewellen and Wistert were my top choices among the finalists...

Re: Jason Kelce

of the ones you have listed in yellow john how many of them have legit hof cases Honestly don't know. I think "cases" is on thing. "Legit cases?" maybe only Kelce ... the way things have gone. Seems like 2-3 All-Pros even with a lot of Pro Bowls doesn't get you there -- to Canton.

Fletcher Cox, just the numbers

no grades, pressures, double teams, "eye-test" someone asked about HOF --- Kevin Williams cannot get any notice ... IMO, throwing in eye test, Cox was better than some of these guys ... a couple of them were 3-techs for the most part. Cox and Suh and Williams were more than just rushers/pe...

Re: punting career of Bill Bradley

I'm watching old GOTW highlights, and I am seeing various punts by Bill Bradley for the first time. Some of his punts are incredible....the highest, weirdest-spinning punts I've ever seen. But looking at his career, he was very inconsistent from year to year and didn't even punt in some years. Does...

Re: Jason Kelce

Canton First Ballot, or not? I think he will. I don't think past precedent means it is a fait accompli that he won't be, i.e. Mike Webster wasn't so Kelce won't and so on. Voters will see his All-Pros, his body of work in terms of being about to get out and block (eye test) plus his value in changi...

Re: More fodder. . .

"Eliminating the pocket requirement might help quarterbacks avoid the types of hits that produce injuries." I don't think that's true. It seemed to me that they called intentional ground more last year than any time in the last decade or so (which means like once every two games, but stil...

Re: John Hadl to Packers in 1973?

It indicates that Hadl was being shopped around, considering that it was just a couple weeks later that he was sent to L.A. I don't doubt that the Packers were at least contacted. Yes ... Hadl wanted out, wanted to go to a winner, said he though he had six or so years left. Bears asked about him. P...
