Stanley Morgan has to be one. Always followed the 20+ yard guys

As I understand it the level of competition for Powell's big seasons was part of reason for rejection people here know but visually it's interesting anyway---there is more overlap that maybe younger voters cared to look up. Maybe 1960-62 ... sure, there is some validity to it ... and beyond but if t...

Upton Bell, born in 1937, had to be referring to when CS was official with Bears ... not when he was friends with Halas at Univ of Chi and shared ideas on T But still ... would like to know what he means by "new" that was designed circa 1951+ as per the flanker position 2024-02-21_19-44-31...

In terms of Powell the only thing I can think of is that perhaps voters were not familiar with him the first time that he was up as a senior considering he hasn't played since 1968 and maybe after some more research into him he will get the 80% In a few years.

It might -- you could be right -- but I just think it may not last too much longer.

I dont understand the Dolphins. They are letting Fangio walk when the defense is getting better. He will probably go to Philly. Fangio's idea. If he had to stay, if the Dolphins forced some issue, that's not going to work out well. I do think it is odd. His defense had a lot of injuries and has ple...

Randy Gradishar presumed inducted Albert Lewis Al Wistert Mike Kenn Joe Jacoby Sterling Sharpe Bob Kuechenberg Clay Matthews Eddie Meador Steve McMichael presumed inducted Maxie Baughan Art Powell presumed inducted Curious to see if any the super seniors ever make final 12 again. These are players ...
