I am interested in participating. This sounds wonderful.

2000 Ravens. Honestly it didn't matter who the starting QB of that team was. I'll add the 2002 Bucs would have won the SB without Brad Johnson. The defense was the star there as well. I may also think the 2001 Patriots would have still won if Drew Bledsoe hadn't been injured. The Pats had a solid r...

I don't see any of these RBs as HOFers, IMO. Eddie George, Priest Holmes, Corey Dillion, Shaun Alexander - all HOVG. None of them as good as Adrian Peterson, IMO. Jamal Lewis had ONE excellent season. One. Only once more than 10 rushing TDs in a season. I'd rather see WRs get in than any of these ba...

Brady won three SBs in his first five seasons and didnt have Hill, Kelce and Watkins catching his passes. He is also the last QB to win back-to-back SBs, and SBs with seperate teams. Mahomes is great but has a ways to go to get near Brady's achievements. I still am not convinced Brady has even reti...

I wouldn't say he is the best ever yet, either. One important factor is that Andy Reid isn't going to coach forever. KC needs to make sure they bring in the next coach who is going to have a strongly solid relationship with Mahomes. There has to be positive chemistry in order for there to be success...

Happy to see Gradishar on the list. Disappointed there is no Larry Grantham. Instead, there is Tommy Nobis and Clay Matthews, neither of whom I believe had stronger careers than Grantham. Looks like more disrespect to the AFL guys who deserve to be there.

How about the 2022 Minnesota Vikings?

-3 point differential but finished 13-4 as NFC North Division champs! 11 of their 13 victories were by one possession. But their four losses were ALL by double digits!

Just checked him out on PFR.com and I think he should be a lock for the HOVG. Winning record with every team he played for. Rought start with SF but led them to a great season in his last year there. Fantastic 14-2 TD to Int ratio in playoffs. 3 Pro Bowl selections. 3 separate times got votes for C...

Who knows where Bert Jones may have been had injuries not killed his career? He had three solid seasons, including a first-team all-pro choice and NFL MVP award. The talent he had, Jones could be in the HOF. Bill Belichick swears he is the most talented QB he ever watched.

This is a reminder that the deadline to submit nominations for the 2023 HOVG class is Friday, June 30.

If you are a PFRA member in good standing, you may nominate up to five candidates. Please e-mail me your choices at sluggermatt15@yahoo.com.
