This came up at the view party today:

At the very least, there are 4 active players on this team that WILL be in the NFL HoF.  

Cam, Kuechly, Olsen, Peppers.  Maybe TD and another one we don't quite see yet. 

That is INSANE.  We need to capitalize on the talent we have this season.  This is a SB squad folks.  Yes, we can be frustrating on offense given our style but when we're on, WE ARE ON.  

I feel we have too good of generational talent on this team to let it slip by the wayside.  The guys in the locker room see this year as a clear opportunity and I think a pretty great team is actualizing before our very eyes.   

This can be more special than '15.  I'll try not to overhype too fanboy-ey but let's just say, our ceiling is clear this year.

Pep yes.  No question.

Olsen is a strong maybe.  Dude has just owned the position prior to the last 2 years. 3 consecutive 1k seasons is damned hard to argue against.

Luke and Cam are TBDs.  They are both playing top notch football and a ring or two would make them locks but they are on the edge of being HOF players atm

Luke as of now is the only borderline HOF'er of the bunch.

Thats only b/c it takes more time to build defensive stats.  He's currently trending in that direction.

Cam would go in 1st ballot if he retired tomorrow.

Olsen may not be 1st ballot but will get in.

Pep is a stone cold lock.

Im tracking with your train of thought here.  I just think there is a significant bias against QBs without rings

Cam has the stats to blow anyone but the haters hair back.  Dude is a phenom.

 

I just think that sans ring Cam is a 3rd, 4th, or maybe 5th ballot kind of candidate.

He's too unique of an athletic freak to be denied.  Being a league MVP gives a huge edge as well (The list of MVPs not in the HoF is a smaller one)

You are correct on the ring bias, however, when you are a habitual record breaker (Marino comes to mind) rings weigh less.

Luke not a lock?!? Brian Urlacher made it?! Wtf?

Luke is in. He's the best in the game and very popular with the media. They love him.

Lock

100% agree Luke is a lock, but you throw out Urlacher's name like he was just some JAG who was lucky to get to the HOF. That dude was a STUD. 4-3 weakside DE size with strong safety speed. If it wasn't for the back issues he developed he probably would've had a career that put him in the conversation for best MLB of all-time. As it was, he still had a career that was clear-cut HOF worthy. Don't hate on Urlacher. That guy was the truth.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      His piece of the pie is only going to get smaller unless there are serious injuries.  Unless the actual pie becomes that much larger, ie Bryce being Kurt Warner, I don't think there's room for him to breakout.  Just like there's not room for JT Sanders to break out beyond a couple hundred yards receiving and a few TDs. I don't think a lot of people understand the volume that XL got last year.
