Bettis and Brown Snubbed Again

[jjc2009]

I thought at least one would get in this time and Brown was the best receiver. Andre Reed should not have gotten in before him. Brown has pretty much better career numbers than Reed across the board and Reeds numbers benefitted from the K gun offense while Brown played on Raiders.

Both will get in eventually, or they should.

His first couple of seasons with the Rams you could make that argument.

How is Andre Reed in the HOF while Tim Brown is not.

How is Andre Reed in the HOF while Tim Brown is not.

I think the only statistical category that Reed led Brown was career TD's. Again, Reed had Jim Kelly. Brown had some 14 different QB's over his entire career, none of them HOF caliber. Brown also was great in punt returns, whereas Reed never did that as well.

I get the hesitancy on Bettis, although he should get in too, but Brown and even Marvin Harrison, were better than Reed.

I think Brown had 17 more career td's than Reed had.

Both will get in, Brown has one of the best WR's in the NFL while he was playing.
