Just him and maybe Dungy
Well at least some back log can get cleared out.
Pretty sure this happens with all teams
It will have to b/c 2015 is stacked. Isaac Bruce, Walter Jones, Orlando Pace, Junior Seau, Kurt Warner

Lewis gets full credit though. He's been running on fumes and reputation since 07.
Junior Seau will sit on the list for a few years.
Bruce isnt getting in his 1st time, Warner doesnt deserve it at all. Seau will be iffy to get his 1st time. Jones and Pace deserve it but will they get it
Pretty much, every team is little a different in how they give stats for tackles. Some are more likely to give out solo tackles to a player despite others helping, while others are more likely to give out assist to everyone involved instead of solo tackles. It evens out in the end.

Jones and Pace are first ballot. Jones especially. Everyone else on that list will have to wait.
I want to see this just so FMT's GF (if he still has one) will have to do what he promised.
He was cut from the Eagles after three seasons for drug abuse, and it took a few seasons in Minnesota before he made the leap. Taking in his whole career, it makes sense that he wasn't voted in immediately.
They better.
He married a fecal freak from the convention
I'm on Team Issac! <3 <3Happy that Carter got in, now they can commence clearing the wr backlog. And Strahan is going to make it, but he shouldn't get in before Greene and Haley. I was listening to a hof voter on the radio and it sounds like Modell is never going to make it. REJOICE CLEVELAND!
Doesn't matter because it happens all the time, not just with Ray Lewis. Pete might have a valid argument if he actually compared Morgans tackles to Rays. I bet we would see the same thing with Morgan.

Doubt it. Ravens have been inflating Lewis' stats for years. If he's even in the vicinity of a play he gets credit for it.
Other teams do this, but not to the degree Lewis gets it. Everyone in the league knows it. It's the reason Ray had no takers in '08.

Soulja hasn't posted since June, hopefully he remembers if/when Bruce gets in!
lol Warner is a lock hall of famer. AZ and STL are two of the all time shit franchises in history, and Warner changed their fortunes. I mean look at AZ before and after he left!
All the STL guys, general fans know from two SB appearance and that's it. Vermeil and Martz have said the guy who powered that offense was Pace. Martz didn't believe in pass protection, so they relied on Pace to always shut down whoever he had 1v1
Bruce idk. Tough for WRs. People seem to think he never existed before SB runs. He had 1700+ yards in 1995 (which is the nuttiest year for passing, ever) w/o a stud QB
Seriously, 1995 is the most absurd WR year ever. I had Scott Mitchell, Brett Perriman and Herman Moore on my FF team and lapped the league

Its not the Webb vs Sanchize show that we deserve.

Ravens will win tomorrow. That Ravens defense is going to fall apart with a loss. They don't want to decline with people thinking Lewis held that team together. Defense has been Suggs' for 3 years and you would never know it, as the aging linebacker who should have been gone 3 years ago is getting all the credit.
Will he be showing people to their seats?
a butt fumble in the biggest game of the year would be incredible
I haven't been following much of the coverage, so at least I'm not burnt out on it now. I'm actually excited to see how it plays out.
If he gets in, i'll knock over a magazine rack

Are Super Bowl Appearances enough to get in the hall on first ballot? Warner's been to 3 and only won one. Those aren't Hall credentials.

Reed deserves it over Bruce. It won't hurt Bruce to wait a goddamn year.
And Warner absolutely deserves it.
And Warner absolutely deserves it.
QB wins? You're better than that. He has two different 3 year stretches where he was the best QB in football. He will be first ballot.
The bad trend for HoF is that modern inductees are always more offense than defense. They may need a new committee just for defensive players
edit: I think Reed goes in next year. Reading the Twitter of some of the voters, seems Aeneas and Reed in good positions next year
haha wow

When Warner was good he was great. Dude had a huge lull in between though. I think they're gonna see him as lightning in a bottle and not a lock.
No way son, you're drinking rams kool aid hard. Were you even a Rams fan during their run or did you have misfortune of jumping after the good seasons
This coming from an unbiased Steelers fan? Like I said someone needs to do a comparison to Morgan to even make a legitimate complaint about Rays playoff tackle record. Prisco only had an issue with Ray getting some easy assist and not the solo tackles. Besides the record doesn't even matter because everyone will just say 'deer antler spray' when referring to the record.

The stat geeks are going to spend a year murderizing the hold outs that he'll coast. Lightning struck twice
btw Cris Carter was never in the top 6 in any year in receiving yards. I still would have gone with Reed but whatever

The fuck does this have to do with anything? Lame argument bro.
Also, you clearly didn't read the whole article.
One problem I have with the Hall of Fame. Stick around long enough and you'll get in on sheer volume, even if you never dominated.
I still think this avatar is adorable.
He'll be back. He made a huge mistake, but the yoy improvement for the guy has been very good. I've forgiven him. I do think Adams has to go through.
Like I said Bro if you want to take it upon yourself to compare Morgan to Lewis go right ahead but if you only analyze one guy under a microscope and not the other then it is a BS argument. If you don't agree with that then please continue with the Ray Lewis agenda.
