2804648, Happy for Willis, didn't think he had enough years
Posted by Beamer6178, Fri Feb-09-24 12:52 PM
even though he was dominant as fuck. because he walked away rather than limped away, wasn't sure they'd consider him. Should have had at least one Super Bowl, and not the Ravens year, the defense was better the year before (fuck you Harbaugh, Roman, and Kyle Williams)

2804823, Willis was a dawg, glad to see him get recognized

2804674, All legit freaks and phenoms in this class

Andre Johnson is a name that probably doesn't get brought up enough in all time great WR lists. Dude was a beast. I just googled the QBs who he played w/for context:
David Carr, Tony Banks, Dave Ragone, Matt Schaub, Sage Rosenfels, T.J. Yates, Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Ryan Mallett
Plus his stomping of Courtland Finnegan hella legendary.

2804677, i was still in ATL during Schaub-mania
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Feb-09-24 07:46 PM
hilarious then, even moreso in retrospect
|
2804675, Shame injuries cut Willis' career short
Posted by mrhood75, Fri Feb-09-24 07:13 PM
Turf toe fucking sucks.
|
2804691, Happy for all of them but Gates deserved to get in on this ballot
Posted by calij81, Sat Feb-10-24 01:56 AM
I am sure he will get in next season.
|
2804706, Torry Holt should've gotten in before Andre Johnson

2804710, maybe
Posted by will_5198, Sat Feb-10-24 04:02 PM
but Reggie Wayne definitely should have
Andre Johnson lost a lot more time with injuries during his peak, and Wayne only missed 1 game in 10 years
both will probably be in eventually
|
2804824, Cris Carter had to wait forever ..and he’s better than everyone*

2804980, Marc Bulger more than twice as long lol

2804981, I love this; arguing which of our teams had worse QB play.
Posted by dagu, Thu Feb-15-24 04:42 PM
Holt did play opposite another Hall of Famer for all but one year with the Rams and had Marshall Faulk in the backfield for all but two years.
That being said, Holt should have been in the Hall of Fame years ago.
|
2804982, especially when the first guy listed for Johnson also started in STL...

Faulk only started 4 years in STL...
