I said it in the other thread and I'll say it here as well:

Today's media isn't qualified to make these kinds of decisions. The NFL needs to establish a committee of trusted people who have been heavily involved with the game for a long time and have them make the decisions.

This isn't about Guy, I think it's cool a punter got in and he deserved to, but overall the media just doesn't have the ability to get this right anymore. Journalistic integrity and standards have fallen astronomically in the last 20 years and there is nothing that separates these media types from the typical fan.

Aye, putting anything in the hands of the likes of Peter King is a mistake.

The Hall of Fame leaves a lot to be desired in regards to its balloting and voting process (pun most certainly intended).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ray Guy should have been in two decades ago. He was really the first modern-day punter---the trailblazer that showcased directional kicking and hang time.  The fact that I was a child, and still remember him is amazing. I'm sitting back and tried to think of other kickers of his era, but I can't remember anyone else.

Journalistic integrity....What's that?

 

Today's media's feel more like the Good Ole Boy's Exclusive Club. We don't like something about you, you're irrelevant to us. This is what happens when you allow NEVER-played and ex-players with agenda,  run the show for the NFL thanks to dollars. 

 

U can always guarantee a ex-player working for the media to get into the HOF before anyone else; especially if you work for NFLN.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
