Holt better get in

Tory Holt should get in, as should Reggie Wayne imo but Andre Johnson likely gets in which could shut them out for now. A lot of names on the list that are deserving. Hard to fit them all in.
Having said that, all HOFs are a farce anyway. Nothing more than a popularity contest for the voters.

I hate how it has become more and more the HOF for fantasy football players.

Everyone is talking about the WR's that should get in. But the simple fact is that Johnson, Wayne, Holt werent even close to being as impactful as nearly everyone else on that list when it comes to winning football games back in the day.

HOF is always slanted to offense, have had WR inducted with modern players in 4 of last 5 years (Harrison, Owens, Bruce, C. Johnson)... so 4 of last 25 inductees have been WRs. And have also had Pearson and Carmichael with senior inductees... so 6 WRs in last 5 classes.

Personally would rather see some of the other position groups inducted this year.

Ware is only slam dunk for me....

Think more complicated this year with Willis and Boselli both good nominees but shorter careers and Hester as STs who greatly impacted the game.

Looking at 2023 these are the 1st year eligible big names I see... Joe Thomas, Dwight Freeney, James Harrison, Darrel Revis, Jahri Evans. From that group I would expect Joe Thomas is slam dunk 1st year inductee... others think probably wait some time if inducted.

Ronde Barber

It’s a shame his brother retired early ( and was less popular ). Both Tiki and Rondae should be in. Fantastic players. Had a good childhood watching them.

 

[ducky]

Do people think that Hester should get in?

On one hand he is easily the best returner in the history of the game.

On the other he had about 50 total major impact returns in his entire career. Not exactly a needle mover in football.

I would never vote for him personally.

Yes for me.

DeMarcus Ware
Zach Thomas

flip a coin on the others

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I agree on the other players maybe should get more love than the WR group but like you said @Tainthappening , it isn't the way it will likely go.
I also agree that Ware is a slam dunk but I think Willis, Thomas and Barber all have realistic chances. Maybe Boselli as he's been on the ballot for a few years now.

 

[Niner Outlaw]

I think the easy ones are D.Ware and P.Willis. And I gotta say Z.Thomas is probably the next man up, so no surprise if he gets in.

I think A.Johnson probably gets in, but if he does, that means Holt probably doesn't make it.

As for Hester...I say no.

Holt has more receiving yards than any Wr in the 2000s. Holt deserves more than Johnson, more TDs in less games, Super Bowl winner, six 1300+ seasons compared to four, more 1000+ seasons

Is there a rule saying a rookie can't be voted for DPOY?
