[Battlelyon]

Get that mofo in the Hall

 

[SteelersPride]

Lot of names there, lot of line talent

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I might roll over and die if Krieg gets in....

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I might roll over and die if Krieg gets in....

didnt he used to own the record for most fumbles by a QB?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

didnt he used to own the record for most fumbles by a QB?

I believe so. But I think Warren Moon surpassed him. 2 QBs with ties to Seattle... And then Brett Favre pipped them both.....

Somewhere back in early 90's? The USFL or something similar spawned a running back who's name I cannot recall, at the moment (so maybe he's more forgettable than Krieg, better to be remembered for something?)

Anyway, this running back (Tony Something??) was asked who his favourite non-athlete was.

His response was "Dave Krieg."

 

[cheerupcharlie]

This looks like it could possibly be the worst class ever.

 

[eaglesnut]

How is Torry Holt not in? His prime was insane.

82-1635-6
81-1363-7
91-1302-4
117-1696-12
94-1372-10
102-1331-9
93-1188-10
93-1189-7

Averaged 94.125 receptions, 1385 yards and 8.125 TDs for 8 seasons out of an 11 year career.

I might roll over and die if Krieg gets in....

does he still hold the career fumbles record?

i see this was answered

 

[wazzu31]

For sure Jason Hanson. Dude was the best kicker in NFL history.

 

[Battlelyon]

Say what?

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Probably a few of the finalists from last year get in. James and Bruce likely, I think. At least one of those linemen. Lots of DBs on the list. Hard to figure where that vote will go but it hurts the chances of some of the other defensive players, I think.

 

[Wamu]

Two players I've though for years should be in the HOF.

Jake Scott. Granted he only played 9 years. But he was a 5x pro bowler, 2x S.B. champ & MVP of S.B. VII.

Steve Atwater. 8x pro bowler & 2x S.B. champ.

 

[Battlelyon]

Get all three Rams receivers in Ellard, Holt and Bruce they deserve it

atwater all day.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yeah, Atwater should be in for sure. Amazing career.

 

[tducey]

Atwater should get in. Be interesting to see who gets in.

 

[LambeauLegs]

Leroy Butler

 

[PhilSimms11]

Among the most overlooked players in my opinion is CB Ken Riley of the Bengals (1969-83). Currently tied for 5th all-time in career INTs with 65 (including 5 pick 6's). Played 15 seasons. 3x All-Pro, but was never voted to a Pro Bowl....proof that the Pro Bowl is a meaningless popularity contest. Riley also had 8 INTs including 2 pick 6's in his final season at age 36 and was voted 1st team All-Pro for the only time in his career. Here's a list of the top-10 career INT leaders:

(1)PAUL KRAUSE--81
(2)EMLEN TUNNELL--79
(3)ROD WOODSON--71
(4)DICK LANE--68
(5)Ken Riley--65
(5)Charles Woodson--65
(7)ED REED--64
(8)RONNIE LOTT--63
(8)Darren Sharper--63
(10)Dave Brown--62
(10)DICK LEBEAU--62
