Andre is in the final 10

The report says finalist. Which is a confusing term. But by finalist it means a finalist of the people who are getting in this year.Originally Posted by DANMAN
Snubbed. Carter got in.
Bye Bye Brady...
****ing joke. Reed snubbed.
I guess if Andre REALLY wanted to get in he'd be one of the marble mouthed, yelling, douchbag diva's on ESPN.
Strahan should have made it over Carter, I'd be okay with Reed not making it for Strahan.

Watching CC begging to get into the HOF on ESPN really soured me on him. Not that I liked him in the first place. How many playoff wins has Carter been a part of again?

****ers.
Might as well face it, Reed just isn't going to make it.

Andre's year is next year. I don't see any first timers getting in: Derrick Brooks, Marvin Harrison, Tony Dungy, Shaun Alexander, La'roi Glover, and Zach Thomas.
To me Strahan, Shields, and Reed are three guys whose names will be called next year.

brooks and harrison are 1st ballont hof... no doubt.
reed " should" get in next year.
how cris carter got in this year over reed doesnt make sense.
he was an elite possesion wr... thats it.
never went to a sb, and only 1 nfc championship game...
reed created so much after the catch and lived over the middle... there was no rules for offense back then either...
hof panel can suck a dick!!!!!!!

Carter is on one of the HOF's very own precious All-Decade teams ('90's), first team. Brown was on the same list as a second-teamer. Reed was never voted to one by the HOF voters. Brown will get in before Reed, based on that fact alone.
Carter and Harrison stats are almost identical and it took him 7-8 years to get in. Harrison has the SB ring but he still gets in line behind Reed and Brown imo.
Brooks has a chance.

Doubt it. Reed has got down to the final ten the last three years. This is something Tim Brown has never done, he got clipped when they went from 15-10 this year. Although to be fair, the first time Reed got to the final 10 (2010?), Chris Carter did not make it.
In addition to Reed getting hosed... Bettis got hosed again. Hard to imagine how the no.6 rusher in NFL history isn't a first ballot Hall of Famer... but there it is.
while we're on the topic of hosed candidates... how about Michael Strahan...

My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
This was the biggest surprise to me. The man with the single season sack record, 140+sacks, and a super bowl ring isn't a first ballot HOF'er? I didn't think Andre was going to get in this year, there were too many legitimate first ballot guys. But what pissed me off if that a WR DID get in, and it wasn't Reed. Strahan gets in over Reed and Carter, fine. Carter getting in over Strahan, and Reed. It's a joke.
Two years ago CC was eliminated in the 15-10 round. Andre wasn't, he got eliminated in the 10-5 . What has happened over the last two years that has made CC pass Reed? I understand that this happens sometimes with the voting, but it's a flaw. And I can't help but get the feeling that Carter passed Reed because Carter works in the media and associates more with the voters more.

Funny you mentioned Bettis. I haven't even mentioned him in this thread. And trust me, as an Irish fan I was disappointed he didn't get in either.
In other news: Something important happened and it was not noticed.
In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.
Michael Strahan is a 1st time balloter. ridiculous.
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
I never understood why Carter wasn't in a few years ago, regardless of the prior voting.
Receptions 1,101 Receiving yards 13,899 Touchdowns 130
Andre Reed
Receptions 951 Receiving yards 13,198 Touchdowns 87
43 more TD's and 150 more catches. Plus Carter had far better hands. Reed dropped a lot of balls during the SB games. That hurts.
Like Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks is a guaranteed first ballot HOF player. Should still be room for Andre to get in though.
Harrison shouldnt be a first ballot. Brooks I can see. But I think Strahan who should of been in even over Sapp and Reed will get in next year
