Faulk HOF and eddie

You're probably right, but I do think Eddie (and Steve) could make it in somewhere down the road.

 

I think it would still be iffy even with a ring. I think you should be one of the transcendent players of your generation to be in the hall. Eddie was very good, not great. Same with McNair.

 

As much as it pains me to say it... I've looked at stats for both Eddie and McNair... and I just don't see it. I don't think they are HOFers.

I think Skip Bayless puts it best regarding the Hall of Fame: If you have to think/debate about it, then they're probably not a Hall of Famer.

 

There have been plenty of decent players who get in the Hall of Fame like 30 years after they retire.

It's possible.

 

I'm with bigtitan. George and McNair would've fallen short of the HoF even with a ring. Obviously winning the SB definitely wouldn't have hurt their chances. But at the end of the day it still would've been just one championship. Multiple championships might have pushed them over the edge though.

 

To put it nicely: not even close. Look at HOF running back numbers. Emmit Smith. Walter Payton. Joe Brown. Barry Sanders. Eddie George? He's just not on that level. He was a lion, but if played for another team I doubt we'd think too much of him.

 

If it was Heart of Fame, they would make it with ease. They are Hall of Fame material in my books, but I don't think they will get it based off of stats.

But, they are both Hall of Fame players in the heart of the Titan faithful.

 

wouldn't have hurt to get 2000 yds lol. Like CJ has a great chance of getting in if he just has a decent career from here on out. 2000yds, yds from scrimmage leader multiple pro bowls. If he just continues getting 1200+ he's a shoe in. Even without a ring. It's not all about rings. It's about the impact you leave on the game.

 

Nope, neither Eddie or Steve will be there. Sorry, but they weren't Hall of Fame players. Great players for the Oilers/Titans, Yes.......Hall of Famers, No.
