Are Geno and Suh hall of famers?

[Battlelyon]

Suh 5 pro bowls, 3 first team. All Pro seasons
Atkins 8 pro bowlers, 2 first team All Pro seasons

Atkins won't be a first ballot but looks to be in

Suh?

Suh?

Suh will only be remembered as a filthy player.

Atkins, probably.

 

[megalodon30]

With Suh's reputation, he may have a little trouble getting in.

Suh?

Atkins yes, Suh no.

Suh?

Atkins 2-10 years after first ballot

Suh 20-30 with his reputation

 

[knowyourenemy]

Not sure either gets in.

 

[steelerssb]

Atkins lacks name appeal, but his résumé is damn good.

 

[wazzu31]

If Lynn Swann is, then why not.

Agree. Have to wonder about playing for such a shitty franchise. If he played in Pitt, Dallas or some other big name team, I think people would say he's in easy.
I'm not convinced Suh should be though. His resume doesn't really scream HOF. And he was a dirty player.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

If Lynn Swann is, then why not.

Or Terrell Davis

Suh?

ive always considered Suh to be...well, not a bust...but "didnt meet expectations". 1 season of double digit sacks, for a guy who, his lat 2 years at nebraska, had 36.5 TFL and 19.5 sacks. richard seymour >>>> suh.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Yah. Suh was dirty but he's one of the better DTs in NFL history. Super impact player.

Geno Atkins as well. I really wanted Seattle to draft Atkins with their 4th, I thought it was a lock pick. I was SUPER pissed they didn't and instead drafted Walter Thurmond

I mean he was fine for a 4th rounder, but I was PISSED we didn't take Atkins. I was willing to take Atkins in the 2nd frame (although I was fine with Tate). I remember I was really high on him.

I'll be honest I pretty much dismissed the idea of him on-sight, but after taking a closer look he's going to have a case. Might not still get in based off who he played for, though.

 

[broncosmitty]

Assume both will get in.


Also, anyone that complains Suh is dirty, is a pheg.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Suh was dirty but he was a beast in his prime. Still don't think he get in but he could.

I think Atkins will get in. Been pretty consistently damn good for awhile now.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Maybe not 1st ballot, but eventually both should get in.

I think Geno will get in and deservedly. He might have to wait a couple ballots depending on who else is on the ballot. When you really take a close look at him, I think he would be a lock if he would have played in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Dallas, Denver, etc. If he had a SB ring we likely aren't even debating his merits.

 

[jjc2009]

Atkins should definitely get in. Very few are better at that position in the league. Suh is TBD.

He played for the Bengals...of course he doesn’t have name appeal.

Playing dirty has never kept anyone else out of the Hall of Fame yet. I don’t think that is what will stop him from getting in.
