Hall of Fame Worthy???
After watching the Hall of Fame induction and hearing Darrell Green say that only 2-5 current players are guaranteed Hall of Famers I had to check it out for myself. Hey, Darrell is one of my all time favorite Redskins but I had to check the rosters and see if he was correct…Just the offensive skill positions for now….
Quarterback’s
Slam Dunks – Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre
Layups – Donovan McNabb – I think he has been top 5 QB’s the last 10 years, but injuries and questionable performances in big games could hurt him
Three-pointers –
- Jeff Garcia – Good stats but not enough time left to improve his standing
- Matt Hasselback – Good Solid career, but don’t think enough big stats and moments to make it.
- Marc Bulger – Just don’t think Hall of Famer when I hear his name
Need More Info - Carson Palmer, Ben Roethlisberger
Running Backs
Slam Dunk – LaDainian Tomlison
Layups
- Brian Westbrook – If he can stay healthy and on this pace the next 3-5 years he’s got a chance.
- Clinton Portis – Got good stats, but gets hurt too much.
- Fred Taylor – Very high on the career stats list, just think he needs a signature moment or game.
- Larry Johnson – Looked like he was headed in the right direction but was last year an abberation or not?
Three pointers
- Warrick Dunn – Been consistent, but not enough big stats
- Edgerrin James – Should’ve stayed with the Colts and got a title and might have had a chance.
- Shaun Alexander – I know he has the stats but I just remember him running out of bounds too much and avoiding hits.
Need More Info - Adrian Peterson
Wide Receivers –
Slam Dunk – Marvin Harrison, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce
Layups
- Chad Johnson – If he stays with Carson he will get one of those yellow jackets one day
- Terrell Owens – As long as he doesn’t do the same thing in Dallas as he did in Philly and San Fran
- Randy Moss – A couple more years with Brady and he becomes first ballot
- Steve Smith – If he stays a receiver and doesn’t become a full-time boxer.
Three pointers – Its so many guys with good starts to their careers like Braylon Edwards, Reggie Wayne etc, but they have a lot more years to show and prove.
Tight Ends -
Slam Dunks – Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez
Three Pointers – Once again a whole lot of guys like Jason Witten, Jeremy Shockey and Chris Cooley who haven’t put up the numbers long enough.
