John Kasay for HOF?

[Dpantherman]

Kasay holds many NFL records as a placekicker. He is third all-time for field goals made from 50+ yards and is the only person to complete four field goals from 46+ yards in a single game.

Field Goals Made 386

Field Goals Attempted 473

Field Goals % 81.6

Long Field Goal 56

ill find out some of those other records.

[Dpantherman]

3rd all- time most field goals in a season (37). thats the only other record i found. Wikipedia sucks (i knew this before hand). anyway. what do u think?

I really like Kasay, but we can't just start letting any kicker whose played for over a decade into the Hall of Fame.

Kasay is the best kicker in league history. When you look at number of attempts and attempts made from every 10 yard category, he is the best. Followed by Jason Hanson. However, the NFL Hall of Fame doesn't focus that much on kickers. If they decide to ever induct another kicker, they will most likely induct someone that had more hype (for whatever reason) like Morten Andersen or Gary Anderson.

:cryin:Im a college kid that hates doin my work, i spend most of my time on Facebook, playing madden and panther stuff. and its 12AM. to answer your question...YES!!!!!

[megadeth078]

fun facts: No kicker has been inducted to the Hall of Fame since 1991. Only 6 kickers have been inducted into the HOF all time, and only one of them has been a pure placekicker (Stenerud).

Just because you're a kicker doesn't mean that you don't deserve to be a Hofer. That being said, Kasay does have that glaring screw-up on his record, and it is for that reason that I don't know if he'd have a realistic chance, even if kickers were given regular consideration. There is always hope.

Until Kasay wins a superbowl, the fact that he kicked that infamous kickoff out of bounds alone, is enough to keep him out

[Dpantherman]

the HOF voters are on something anyway. no sterling or shannon sharpe, no Cris Carter, Eric Allen, John Randle

For the love on your god, or higher power, please, PLEASE stop making threads!

I think the world of Kasay, but the fact is, he just isn't HoF bound.

1. Kickers don't make it into the HoF. Only punters have a smaller shot at it.

2. Morten Anderson has a better shot at it, with the length of his career, the number of teams he has played for and the guy is beloved of many sports writers and players. (He has a wicked sense of humor).

3. From this generation of kickers, Viniateri is the only one who has a shot, and he's got those Super Bowl wins. He's the prototype kicker of this age of the sport.

Kasay's a great guy and I wouldn't want to ever see another kicker displace him from our beloved team, but I don't believe there is any way that he is Canton bound.
