Yeah i know there's already an NFL thread but i think a discussion about upcoming hall of fame nominees and inductions should have its own thread, leaving the other to express disappointment for the seasons
but i digress xP
Not even three weeks in and the League is already starting up the nominations for the Hall of Fame for next year. Looking through their list, i see several players that should be in in the next few years, and some that shouldnt. Let me start with the shoulds:
1. Dick Vermiel- HC Philadelphia Eagles, STL Rams (Won Super Bowl, 1999 Rams lost Super Bowl 1980 Eagles) Kansas City Chiefs
2. Nick Lowery K Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets
3. Herschel Walker, RB Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings
4. Morten Andersen K New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings
5. Randall Cunningham QB Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens
Now i do admit there's a bit of bias here since three of the shoulds have been a part of my Kansas City Chiefs, but i also do think their talent speaks volume enough to be included. Morten Andersen did last a long time for a kicker, after all :P
and here are the should nots/ later down the road:
1. Priest Holmes RB Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs
2. Steve McMichael, NT Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers
3. Edgerrin James, RB Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals
4. Sterling Sharpe, WR Green Bay Packers
5. Jimmy Smith, WR Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars
Priest fell short based on not only putting up enough hall of fame numbers, but because of the fact his potential, like Sharpe's, was cut short due to injury. Carl Peterson is to blame for that one. Edgerrin and Jimmy will be in, but not this year. and Steve McMichael for what its worth didnt really perform up to hall of fame standards unlike his fellow 85 bears Dent, Singletary and Hampton
