2013 Hall of Fame--for discussion

[MsMarvel73]

If this needs to be moved or merged, go right ahead. I skimmed a bit and didn't see it anywhere.

Happy to see JO on there, although I am not sure why I had any doubts that he would be.

Feel free to discuss!



I personally still think it's a travesty that Andre Reed hasn't been inducted. Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas are already there and for Reed to be missing among them is just a darn shame. Cris Carter not there is also a shame.

That being said, I still want JO to go first-ballot! He's always been one of my all-time favorite Ravens and he's the reason I have a soft spot for the offensive line.

[Ed_Reed20]

If no one gets in among Charles Haley, Cris Carter or Tim Brown, I'll be done with the voters.

Hoping JO gets in first time too.

[IH EART DA RAVENS]

Of course Strahan will be going in first ballot (along with JO) but I'm not sure about Sapp...I think having the job in the media now will help his chances, but I still don't know. And yeah, Cris Carter must've stabbed somebody in that voting room back in the day or something, I can't imagine any other reason he's not in.

[JO_75]

Also former Ravens Steve McNair, Priest Holmes and Sam Adams are also on the list as well. Now granted those guys were Free Agent signings but they still wore the Ravens Purple at some point. I'm hoping JO gets on the first ballet but if not then I'll be alright. Strahan, I don't know about. I think there are too many legends who are retired who belong in the HOF BEFORE JO and Strahan. Chris Carter should have been in a long time ago and so should have others.

Personally, and I would love to see JO go into the HOF next year but I would love to see JO and Ray go into the HOF together in the same class, if possible.

JO will get in, Strahan might because the media loved him and his sack record still being in tact. I think people need to give up on Reed and Carter, if they were going to get in they would have years ago. I think that the H.O.F. needs to increase the number of inductees to 8

No way JO has to wait that long though. He should be a first ballet. I would also like to see Chris Carter get in this year.

[RavensAllTheWay]

I might be in the minority here, but I think Strahan has a better chance of getting next year than JO. That said, I would love to see JO in first ballot.

[berad]

JO, Strahan, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, Larry Allen have the best chances IMO

Hope Modell gets in, probably won't...

[Cville-Raven]

Cris Carter just whines about it all the time but he was a beast, had some of the softest hands I've ever seen. Tim Brown was great as well, was agreat returner as well as a reciever; caught plenty of passes, all without gloves. Not to mention he was the first Wideout to ever win the heisman.

Obviously I hope JO gets in his first time through.

[display name]

Andre Reed, Cris Carter, Jim Brown, Michael Strahan, JO, Warren Sapp,.
That's 6 guys who I think should be in there. 7 can be anybody, and Priest Holmes, Sam Adams, and Air McNair are all very debatable, and it's possible none of the three ever makes it in.
Art Modell I did not list, knowing he would not get in.

[Cville-Raven]

Of course you cant forget this guy even though he's still playing
