    Andre Reed and Steve Tasker: HOF semi-finalists again

    Two of 26 people to make the semis.

    Both have been this far before, but this is a weaker class.

    Let's hope this is the year for both.

      I don't think Tasker gets in, because specialists get jobbed for the HOF vote. Unless they create a special category for specialits, I don't see it.

      Reed, on the other hand, is a huge oversight. I watched the guy play, and he deserves to be in there. Great player, and consistent over time.

        Reed only has Cris Carter as competition, as far as WR is concerned... IIRC, in the past, Reed has fared better than Carter in the voting.

        Hate to say it, but I don't see Tasker getting in... Then again, I don't see anyone on there that's a no-brainer.

            This is the year for Andre. Keeping them fingers crossed for one of the greatest WR of all time.

              I hope so. I thought he was going to get in last year for some reason and was deeply disappointed when he did not.

                It's a pretty weak semi-final class so Tasker might have his best shot to get in this year. That being said, I still don't see him making it.

                Reed, in all honest, I think has to wait til Carter makes it before he goes in. Don't see him making it before him.

                    The no brainers should be Brown, Atwater and Reed... But as stated before, there's really no shoe ins.

                      Neither should get in before Ray Guy. Sorry.

                        Reed should, but Tasker shouldn't, imo.

                        I do however, firmly believe that Tasker should get there.

                        In some respects, the fact that Marv didn't let him play offense much, has probably hampered Tasker's chances. If he had been able to show how useful he was as a WR, as well, more regularly, he might have been better served.

                          Still think this could be the year of the WR with Brown, Carter and Reed all getting in.

                          Tasker belongs simply because he had a tangible effect on the game league-wide, but as others have said the voters really don't consider special teamers.

                          Ray Guy not being in is one of the biggest travesties ever. The committee could go a long way in the credibility department by inducting Guy and the wide-outs.

                            I don't think Tasker even deserves to be nominated, he was a backup WR and special teams player.
