I love you Brother, but Emmitt was so much better than you give him credit for. If Barry Sanders had played for the Cowboys, he might have had 2400 yards seasons.... but they might not have won 3 rings. Sanders was awesome, but he also had more negative yardage runs while looking for a big play as anyone. A negative 3 run is just like a sack, a drive killer. I don't see Barry ramming into a 9 man front on 3rd or 4th and 1 or goal to go like Emmitt did 75-80 times a year either.

Mark Eaton ( )
Tom Chambers
Alvin Robertson
Out:
Ralph Sampson
Bill Walton
Just a short list.
The stats are good enough, the longevity phenomenal and the character of the players was never in dispute.

Pete Rose.. I dgaf about him gambling. .. the man needs to be in the HOF!I am in a debating mood...
Who is not in the HOF that should be in, who should not??
Ralph Sampson great college career, but after falling in Boston Gardens and being moved over to Power Forward his pro career was not that good.
From 1974 to 1982, Lynn Swann has the 9th most catches and 12th most yards. So, it isn't like his numbers were blowing the socks off other WRs at the time. He retired ranked 62nd in receptions (currently 239th). If Lynn Swann is a HoFer - then Harold Carmichael should have been in decades ago.
Drew Pearson is another WR I would lean toward saying got in on the merit of the exposure he had playing for the team he played for.
He's a HOF'er?
Damn,hes as deserving as Betts.... Which in my mind does not belong.
Lee Smith
You've been my friend for years so I feel I have the right to say this.
That is the dumbest thing you have ever posted!
The top WR on the 2nd best team of the 70's. All Decade team, 4 time All Pro. Great player. And you are my good friend lol, after your goofy Emmitt arguements, I can take anything lolYou've been my friend for years so I feel I have the right to say this.

It was an exaggeration, but don't you think the best players of an era should be in the HOF... You can easily say Pearson was the best WR of the 70s...
No, I actually don't. What if the era sucked by comparison? What if the player pushed down Nate Wright?
its not like we are talking about the best punter of an era... we are talking about the best WR of an era... WR is one of the most important positions in football... you are not punished for an era, nor should you get rewarded...
Can you name 5 WRs better than him that played in his era??
