Future HOFers who current NFL players


Recommended Posts

I know this is random, but a friend of mine asked me who did I think the future HOFers are in this league still playing today and I said that was a good question maybe some football peeps on the net can help me answer that but before debating about it, I gave him a list and it goes a lil something like this

Bill Belichick

Tony Dungy

Mike Holmgren

Dick LeBeau

Tom Brady

Brett Favre

Peyton Manning

Ray Lewis

Steve Smith

Marvin Harrison

LaDainian Tomlinson

Ed Reed

Adam Vinatieri

John Kasay

Tony Gonzalez

Walter Jones

Derrick Brooks

Juniour Seau

Issac Bruce

Julius Peppers

Orlando Pace

Adrian Peterson - yes early, but already one of the best I've ever seen

Jeff Saturday

Terrell Owens - if his attitude changes

Randy Moss

Torry Holt

Steve Hutchison

Alan Faneca

Jason Elam

Kevin Mawae

Jason Taylor

Brian Dawkins

Ty Law

anybody else I would have to think about.... Anybody can help me out? any other thoughts on this.

peppers and smith have a very, very long way to go

peppers can't afford to have many down seasons like his last one if he wants to be in the HoF

and smith i doubt will ever make it, he will always be remember as one of the best recievers to play the game in my mind, but i don't think he will ever be able to get in

Steve Smith will get in off of reputation alone just for being a great FOOTBALL player first, which is what they look for. And besides, he has already 3 probowls, 2005 comeback player of the year, and 2005 MVP candidate. And will be in at least 4more probowls before its all said and done. Thats 7 altogether, which is 1 more than half the WR HOFers in Canton already. Besides, he has plenty of great seasons in him left. Not only that, but 2 NFC Championship game appearances, numerous big time playoff moments, grabs and etc. And even just 2 more 1000 yard seasons and he is in the ball park, and up there in the ball park.

As for Peppers, that one bad season really didn't hurt him much. He can rebound and have 2 more good seasons, 1 more great season, then 1 more solid season for him and he is in the ballpark or more than half above the middle of the pack. So both Steve Smith and Peppers should be fine for Canton.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
