Hall of Fame

[DrGraves]

Alright, recently I've heard debates over whether or not Andre Reed will get into the hall of fame. I think it is a no brainer that he should be in. Currently their are 19 modren era WR in the hall of fame.

Andre is 9th all time in recieving yards. 4 superbowls... a great WR. he should be in.


Interesting Question. Now Eric moulds is 3th in recieving yards at ~10000, and has over 800 receptions, 50 more than michael irvin... I know his carrer is bacially over, but if he could manage 1000 more yards he would jump into the top 20. i know he wouldnt have any rings or really any playoff exp. at all, but wouldnt those number make him a canidate for the hall at the very least?

I know he is not a hall of famer so don't ridicule me but, i just want to save bravo Eric... you are awesome, one of my all time favorite Bills.

BTW, STEVE TASKER SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME, GREATEST ST EVER.

[LtFinFan66]

Reed and Tasker should be in

[Romes]

Michael Irvin shouldn't be in the Hall and neither should Moulds.

[tampabay25690]

Michael Irvin shouldn't be in the Hall and neither should Moulds.

IRVIN making it in the HALL were pitty votes and that is it...

[Philagape]

I think stats are used too much in discussing Hall of Fame credentials. It's not the Hall of Stats. No way should Moulds get in.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I don't get all the hype on Tasker. Sure I liked the guy but he barely played during the course of a game. He was in there maybe 10 plays max. How should he be a hall of famer?

[THATHURMANATOR]

IRVIN making it in the HALL were pitty votes and that is it...
Bull****. He was one of the best receivers of his era and won multiple superbowls.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I think stats are used too much in discussing Hall of Fame credentials. It's not the Hall of Stats. No way should Moulds get in.
Agreed.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Michael Irvin shouldn't be in the Hall and neither should Moulds.
Irvin is no doubt a hall of famer.

Do you think Swann or Stallworth should be in then?(Especially Swann)

[Romes]

Irvin is no doubt a hall of famer.

Do you think Swann or Stallworth should be in then?(Especially Swann)

No. I think they were too lenient on letting WR in the past. What sucks is that now that there are a ton in there they are reluctant to put guys in that deserve to go like Monk and Reed. Monk should have been in before Irvin.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I don't disagree that Monk should have been in earlier you can't say Irvin is not a HOF.

[Romes]

He probably is HoF but I'm biased...I can't stand the guy. :D

It would have been nice if they at least made him wait a bit longer.

[Dr. Lecter]

I don't get all the hype on Tasker. Sure I liked the guy but he barely played during the course of a game. He was in there maybe 10 plays max. How should he be a hall of famer?

Because he was dominant at his role and was in more than 10 plays a game easily.

If you figure that each team punts 4 times: (8 plays), kicks off 4 times (8 more, 16 total), kicks 2 EP (4 more, 20 total) and kicks 2 FGs (4 more, 24 total) you have much more than 10 a game.

Fact is he was the most dominant ST player of all time and made teams revise how they played against the Bills STs and also changed the role of ST players. He was an original and changed the game.


He should be in the HoF.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Eh Special teamers are guys who couldn't be full time players. None should be hall of famers.

[LtBillsFan66]

Irvin belongs in the hall.
Reed belongs in the hall, IMO.
Tasker doesn't, IMO.

[justasportsfan]

Eh Special teamers are guys who couldn't be full time players. None should be hall of famers.
but if there was one, Steve would be it.

[LtBillsFan66]

Tasker should be remembered as one of the best special teamers ever. That's about it.

[THATHURMANATOR]

but if there was one, Steve would be it.
Of course.

[DraftBoy]

Irvin is a HOF, Reed is a HOF

Tasker and Moulds are not.
