Positive: TO has the numbers.

Negative: He destroys teams, selfish, much of the media hates him - they vote.


Now it is a longshot that he stays with the Bills for more then a season. One season probably wouldn't be enough. But if he did play multiple years in Buffalo, and was eventually selected to the HOF, would he decide to go in as a Bill?

Would his ego allow him to go in as a Cowboy? Glamorous - yes, but they did cut him. If he had a good season(s) in Buffalo and left on good terms how would Bills fans react?

What do you think?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves with SB talk. I'll take playoffs. Wildcard. Sometime in the next 2 years.

But if TO is a lock, what team would he go in with. Not the Eagles. Probably not Dallas. Do the 49ers sign him to a 1 day contract in a few years and let him retire a 49er.

Right now he's basically a HOF caliber player with no real team affiliation besides Buffalo. And that could be temporary.

I'm not getting ahead of myself. Just simply saying if he makes such an imapct here to take us to a place we havnt been in years, he'd be a lock

But would he go in the HOF as a Bill? Tough to say now. But interesting to consider. Obviously if he bombs in Buffalo he may still make the HOF but not as a Bill.

139 TD's

He'll go in as a 49er. He won't forget his beginnings with Steve Young & Jerry Rice.

He's a first ballot hall of famer, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron.

TO, if he retired tomorrow, has big time, HOF numbers. And his character issues pale in comparison to Michael Irvin's. In fact, Irvin's induction proves character issues don't matter at all.

From what I understand, the NFL isn't like baseball in that they don't go in representing a specific team. All the teams an NFL HOFer played on gets some recognition for that player's achievements. However, the player can choose to retire with a team he feels most closely affiliated with in his career.

First ballot. Goes in as a 49er. Has Jerry Rice introduce him.

Just my guess.

He gets in 1st ballot and he won't go in as anything. The NFL does not have players go in as members of a team like the MLB. They go in as themselves.

TO may be the best player ever to put on a Bills uniform. He already is a HoF.

T.O will be hall worthy after he helps the Bills win the SB

Aside from his antics he is easily one of the top 5 WR's in history in my mind, and the statistics back it up. He's an HOFer, I'm not sure that he'll get in on the first ballot simply because the guys who vote on it might look at things other than the production on the field. But if he doesn't get in on at least the second ballot it's the crime of the century.

Definite HOF for T.O.

Maybe maybe not. It's mostly writer that vote on this and there is a fair amount of them that do not like is antics. Look how long it took high quality character WR's to make it in like Monk and Stallworth. He probably does, but I don't think it is a lock, even Irving had to wait and 3 had 3 rings. The only rings TO has are in the toilet! haha.

TO: 6th all-time in receptions (Irvin: not in the top 20)

TO: 4th all-time in TD's...not catches, TD"S (Irvin: not in the top 20)

TO: 5th all-time receiving yards (Irvin:17th, 3.5k and counting behind)


Sorry sir, case closed IMO.:posrep:

LT, what about Monk and Stallworth? Great careers and no on or off the field problems, yet it took them forever!

What's up buddy?

the HOF is based on performance, not personality. if it were, OJ wouldn't be in.

working with a lot of NFL HOF'ers, I can tell you not all of them are glowing with kindness yet the public rarely sees that side of things.
