I don't think it is about anything historical(from college). I think it is because his career was so short for modern NFL QB.

Well, I would put him in because I don’t think longevity should carry tremendous weight.   It’s why Megatron is a first ballot.   It’s why I think Luke should get in with a short career.

Cam has never compared to any QB in the modern era.   He is the greatest rushing threat from the QB position in NFL history IMO.   And Cam lead the era of the mobile college QBs being normalized in today’s NFL.    So I’d put him in. 

But I won’t be shocked if he doesn’t get in. I wouldn’t put my money on it

QB careers(especially HOF) are so long now. That is the only reason I could see it going sideways on us

Eeehhh, most analysts are probably gonna give that title to Steve Largent.

Largent was amazing. He was quiet but deadly. Caught everything thrown his way and somehow seemed to be always open. Played for a poor Seattle Team with Jim Z. and David C as his primary qbs. He was probably widely considered the best WR of his era before Jerry Rice broke onto the scene. *Respect*

That said-Smitty had a comparable career and should be a HOFer.

I do want to point out that Smith finished his career with 19,173 All Purpose Yards and 89 career TD's. 

That does dwarf what the rest of the finalists in this class have at the position. 

+ 11 more TDs in the postseason

This also leaves of Smitty's 2005 Triple Crown (not an 'official' award but still big), one of three to achieve that since 1966 and the only one the last 29 years.  The other two are Rice and Sterling Sharpe in the early 90s, and Smitty earned it with Jake chucking the ball vs Montana and a still-young Favre.

Sam Mills resume as a player is enough.  As a person he should be get special consideration 

On another note…Cam Newton has to be squarely in the HOF.  Keeping him out would be ridiculous with the records he has atp

Idk about that. The league stole a SB from him, they could damn well keep him from getting a jacket too.

voters are largely all media guys.  Media has been brutal to Cam since Auburn.  It would take him a long time to get in and probably all the guys who covered him to no longer be voters IMO.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
