Average of 7 TDs per season over his career? Unimpressive.
Average of 1,030 rush yards per season over his career? Average.

I couldn't agree more. Bettis is not one of the best ever period, he was just big.

All that edgy commentary on Sunday Night Countdown.

I'm utterly mystified by this. I'm loyal to guys with Chiefs connections, but I don't see how Tony should be anywhere near this discussion. His career record is good, but so would anybody's if they spent more than half their career with Manning.

What he did in Tampa Bay was much more impressive. Still not HOF, though.

Junior Seau will get in because the NFL will want some good PR

1. Believed to have had multiple concussions while playing which led to mental problems.
2. Arrested for domestic violence.
3. Killed himself.

Doesn't sound like a PR guy's top choice.

Yeah, I think in most years that hurts him more than helps him, but the more I think about it, maybe in the current environment it actually will help. Maybe the NFL will want to show solidarity with struggling ex-players.

I feel the opposite. The NFL really doesn't want to draw any more attention to CTE than there already has been.

Garcia Bronco · 01-15-2015, 02:18 PM

Tim Brown and Davis should already be in.

**Rain Man** · 01-15-2015, 02:20 PM

I find it interesting that both Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce got knocked out in the semis. I think it was too crowded a field of Rams.

And while I must preface this by saying how much I hate the Broncos, I think Rod Smith and Karl Mecklenburg are better candidates for the Hall of Fame than Terrell Davis.

If Manning's legacy is diminished due to his postseason woes, Davis' legacy should be strong enough for the HOF, considering that he is the best playoff RB of all time.

Yes but with him you have cheating Broncos cheating the salary cap and lubricated O-linemen.

Will Shields
Orlando Pace
Junior Seau
Kevin Greene
Charles Haley

Some may disagree, but I would vote for Leslie O'Neal over Junior Seau when it comes to Chargers. O'Neal was a monster. If not for a knee injury, he'd be top five all time in sacks and maybe top two. But he never even gets mentioned.
