    The Hall Call in 2008 and 2009..

    In my opinon Andre Reed deserved to get in the Hall over Michael Irvin ... Three Super Bowl were of course the reason Irvin got in over Andre.....

    In 2008 Andre will face more competition.....Darrel Green CB from the Washinton Redskins is a first ballot lock....SB wins and a 15 plus yr career will do that.. So who else will andre have to face ?


    Cris Carter.. 130 td's over 1000 receptions...No SB at all....Advantage Carter slightly..


    TonY Boselli-ot Jax....

    Terrell Davis-rb...not a first ballot guy he may not get in for awhile... career cut short....

    So who's in next year....

    Art Monk...Like Harry Carson he finally makes it......finished just out of final six this year...

    Darrell Green-a RESKIN DOUBLE .. i CAN HEAR THAT DANG SONG IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW ....

    Derrick Thomas-Sack master get his due....

    BoB Hayes-Veteran

    Andre will be a finalist again.....gt bye the first ballot cut then miss out....

    I really believe Monk and maybe carter will make it before him.. But he will get in maybe in 2009 with Bruce Smith.. a lock for 2009

    Congrats to the class of 2007....Especially Thurman Thomas...

    Go Bills.....

      Thurman getting in was pretty cool. There was alot of talk that he might not get in. I actually believe that Reed is more deserving.

        Reed has 951 carrer receptions for 13,198 yards and 87 TDs, 7 Pro Bowls, and 4 AFC Championships. How does the Hall continue to exclude him - as well as Monk, who also has better numbers than the vaunted Michael Irvin?

        Apparently, guys who go about their business in a quiet and professional manner, despite remarkable on field achievements, simply don't measure up in this era of media hype.
        Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

          That's the key right there. If it were people like guys already in the HOF making the selections as opposed to media guys, maybe media darlings wouldn't get in over more deserving candidates.
          Andre was overlooked his whole career, despite his Pro Bowls and his on-field performance...I'm honestly not surprised he's getting overlooked on this as well

            2008 should be the year the deserving WR's get their due.

                I have to be honest...I'm pretty surprised Tags didn't make it.

                  speculation is that the current CBA, with all the questions involved with it, weighed into the decision..not to mention the fact that 6 is the max...and there are players who were still being snubbed and should've made the cut...they put a higher importance on players than contributors

                    Does Kent Hull or Steve Tasker have a chance anytime soon? I'd love to see Tasker get in and also Hull. Both guys deserve it big time.

                      They've both been eligible for years...their best shots may be with the seniors committee after their initial years of eligibility are up. The fact that Ray Guy didn't get in is gonna hurt Tasker's chances

                        No one will Bruce and Andre' go in same time.

                            I don't know why they've fallen so badly behind, but they need to let in more than 6 at a time if they ever hope to catch up. There are a bunch of wide receivers coming up and if monk can't get in reed is also going to have a hard time.
