megatron 32rd on the all time receiving yards list, him being in hall is purely based on the player he could have been. Where as, Steve smith 8th on the all time receiving list and everyone in front of him is in the hall outside of Fitz. 

Megatron walked away in his prime and had a short career.  Not sure I could name 5 guys that were actually better though. 

it’s the Luke argument IMO.  Should lesser LBs have an edge over Luke getting in simply because they grind out years Luke opted not to…and have 7 more years worth of stats over Luke?   But never were even close to Luke as a LB?

*89 has Andre Johnson in yards and TDs.  Plus his pro bowl special team work.   That’s a dig at 89 by voters just not liking the personality.

Wayne and Holt got rings and previously were finalist.  So they aren’t as big of deal but Johnson? 

Damn sure is.  NFL playing politics.

I didn't really think Steve Smith was a first ballot Hall of Famer, not with the logjam that already exists at that position.

That said, I didn't really think Andre Johnson was either, so I don't know about that one 😕

Happy to see Sam Mills on the list though.

I think it's fine if they don't want him to be a first ballad hall of fame. But if we trying to be fair and honest how is Andre Johnson a finalist ahead of Steve Smith at final sitdown is what I'm getting at. I think Smith career has been better so if we pretending it's all on numbers why is he considered ahead of him. Triple crown and a super bowl apparence.

Cam is probably a longshot, sadly. His career was just so short for being so bright.

I’d put him in.  Too unique not to. 

But I also understand who votes.  And those people have enjoyed trashing Cam since Auburn.

I wouldn't argue for Andre Johnson being in the Hall of Fame, honestly.

Not saying he wasn't great because he absolutely was, but still...

I don’t think 89 is a first ballot guy. 

But I’d love to hear the Andre Johnson argument of being a finalist over him. 

89 has him in yards and TDs.  89 has his postseason resume and his special team resume all added on top of that.  

Andre Johnson has what? The best on field fight?

I don't think they weigh enough how Steve Smith changed the game. We talking about a guy competing against the greats... legends Andre Johnson 6'3 randy moss 6'4 Steve smith was only 5'9. A true number 1 I will jump ball you and win consistently at 5'9. If that isn't changing the game I don't know what is.

Steve smith is the greatest wr EVER under 6'0. There I said it..

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
