T.O.'s Hall of Fame chances?

[packer34]

Will T.O. make it to the Hall of Fame or not?

[frankb03]

Too many pissed of writers and players.

I can't see many ex-NFL players voting for him.

[TheRook]

I'll be moving this to the right room when I have time.

Thanks,
Mod Doc

[RJeremy]

I'd say probably yea

It depends on what happens next year and the 3-5 years after that. This may end up being just a small blip on the radar screen, if he turns his attitude around. However, what is more likely is that it will continue to happen, with him in a different city every year playing for teams that want to have a flash in the pan type season. So I guess what I'm saying is that this is TO's last chance to figure out how he wants to be remembered. I vote yes, but I'm really on the fence.

Well Oj Simpson Made It Lawrence Taylor Made It.i Know T.o. Has Problems Before Being Voted In But I Think As A Writer They Have To Look At The Other Members .if It Was Baseball He Would Never Make It.baseball's Hall Of Fame Is All Politics.my Favorite Player Growing Up Was Dale Murphy He Has Never Made It Although A Great Guy.but Really Murph Did More For His Team Than Ozzie Or Sandberg Did For Thiers.

OJ made it before be for he murdered two people! Taylor didn't get fired twice like T.O. did! BUT, Taylor did have a bit of a drug problem.

IMO, he should have a better shot to get in the NFL than Barry Bonds should getting in the MLB Hall of Fame. He's an asshole and a horrible teammate, but that is not against the rules. It's a pain in the ass to deal with and destroys a team, but it's not breaking the rules. It'll be an interesting decision nonetheless.

HOF discussions are very difficult!!! And you simply cant compare different sports, they are so very different. I have no idea about TO??? What other recievers are in the HOF with comparable statistics to him???

I dont care about LT's drug problems or OJ's history after football. If what they did on the field warrants they recieve this honor, then good for them.

And please dont start with Barry Bonds not being in the Hall. He is without debate the best baseball player most of us have ever seen. he may be an asshole but he is but that doesnt keep people out of the Hall, ask Ty Cobb!!!

Tigger, Bonds easily makes the Hall. There are much bigger assholes that are in the Hall than Bonds, and please don't give me the tired steroids claims. He is innocent until proven guilty and don't you think they would have already busted him if that was case...look what happen to Palmerio and he was considered one of the nice guys in MLB.
As for TO, I think if he continues to put up numbers he should be there...100 career TD ranks in the top 3 or 4 all time.

The problem is, what is the likelihood that he puts up more numbers? If I'm a coach or GM, I probably wouldn't touch him, unless I was desparate. In fact, there is only one team that I think might be desparate enough to sign him, and that would be New Orleans.

OJ made it before he committed murder. LT made it before most of his off field problems became public.

His stats were padding due to his illegal steroid use. Prior to steroids he was a great player. HOF player? Maybe.

[THENDY]

I Think Hes A Hall Of Famer Based On Ability...and If This Season Hubbles This Ass Hole He Could Go In. Now That Hes Mr Irrelevent For The Remainder Of The Season . Hopefully He Will Relize That Hes Not Bigger Than The Game.....and The Nfl Stage Can Not Only Survive But Thrive Without Him. If He Eats Hummble Pie...hes In. If Hes The Constant Ass Hole And Remains A Me Guy ....he Wont Last On Any Team.

[frankb03]

Unless TO changes his attitude over the last few years of his career he will NOT be elected to the hall of fame.
