Re: Forked Thread: Reed does NOT make Hall of Fame-Makes it to top 10
Yet another year we will have to hear about the WR log jam.

Re: Forked Thread: Reed does NOT make Hall of Fame-Makes it to top 10
It's incomprehensible that someone like Ralph Wilson Jr. is in the Hall of Fame, but not Andre Reed.
This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
per play average than the Bills' offense!Comment

Wilson bought his way in, eh? Too bad he doesn't buy WNY a decent team, decent coaches, ad nauseum.

I can understand the argument that Reed isn't a Hall Of Famer, but how is Curtis Martin?Comment

4th best rusher of all time in terms of yardage.... led league in rushing at age 31 (year before his injury which forced retirement)Originally posted by TheGhostofJimKelly
trust me, i won't complain for curtis being in, but i do think that roaf and dawson are deserving... cortez kennedy is a good choice, but i thought he would wait a few more years. it boggles my mind that CC, reed, and tim brown all keep waiting.

The Hall of Fame induction process is a JOKE.
> There is way too much emphasis on Super Bowl wins. That's why you have people like Lynn Swann, Art Monk and Michael Irvin make it, but Andre Reed, Chris Carter and Tim Brown are still waiting (and may never get in).
> Certain positions are elevated by the HOF committee - quarterbacks, running backs and pass rushers. Others like interior linemen and wide receivers are neglected.
> The length of time for induction is absolutely RIDICULOUS. This year, they voted in Jack Butler... somebody who played more than 60 years ago!!!! Why should somebody have to wait that long if they deserve to be enshrined? I would bet that most of the people who voted him in, never even saw him play.
A deserving player should be inducted the year after they retire. None of this "first ballot" crap. You either deserve it or you don't.
For those players on the fence, there should be discussion amongst the league for about five years. If you don't make it by then, you are no longer eligible.
When the HOF committee keeps putting off deserving players (like Reed), you run the risk of having voters that never saw the guy play. Then induction becomes more about what a player did on paper, rather than what they did on the field.2013 "My Should Have" Draft

SBs should really have very little to do with it.
This is the one instance, in the ultimate team game, where individual accomplishment trumps team accomplishment.

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
- There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
- Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here
