Thread: What? Randy Moss WON'T Be a First Ballot HOFr

What? Randy Moss WON'T Be a First Ballot Hall of Famer?

ahh, the bleacher.

but I agree, he won't be a first ballot HOF player. I expect he'll make it in though.

His major hurdle will come IF the comittee actually decide to take character into account when deciding (it was proposed). If that goes, we could see a few very deserving players not make it.

One thing still against Moss is he has no ring. That will hurt him. If he can somehow get a ring, he stands a good chance.

No. Because it's not the same process for electors.

And Pete Rose is banned from the game, so he's not eligible for election.

aparantly I can.

So is an extremely gifted athlete inducted even if they have a whiny little bitch attitude? When was the first year you didn't hear him whine? It was the year the Patriots went undefeated and he was getting the ball tossed to him all the time. A guy that takes plays off should not be considered in the first ballot, if ever. Also if he doesn't make the transition from athleticism to having his wisdom complement his athleticism in his waning years I would vote against him for a number of ballots.

IBP nailed it

Good work sir

If Cris Carter is not a first ballot HOF'er neither is Randy.

very true. Moss should take a leaf out of Michael Irvin book and get some proper police endorsements behind him before being worthy of a HOF place. :laugh:
