With Mahomes going out of this game with a concussion/choked out, the Browns had the momentum and chance but couldnt get it done. Bad use of timeouts, the offense not throwing more downfield and the defense giving up 3rd and 14, 4th down plays, allowed the Chiefs to win. I believe Mahomes will play ...

Hill was the go to receiver for White though he liked Cosbie too. Pearson had a better chemistry with Staubach but Butch Johnson wanted the ball as well.

Its close but I would take Rison. Had he just stayed in Atlanta, he may be in the HOF already but had bad stints in Cleveland, Jax and his last season in Oakland. Quick got hurt too much like DeSean Jackson but a better deep threat. I have watched receivers for a long time and only three times saw R...

Unfortunately, not to sound obvious but what hurts Shofner is the same as Branch ...

Too many Giants and Raiders from their own teams/eras ... There are five Giants, not counting coaches and the Raiders may have more HOF players from one 70s champion than any other team ...

We can't forget Paul Hofer in 1980 against Dallas ... a bad knee injury. So he works his butt off and comes back in 1981, playing well for the 49ers, so what does "The Genius" do? He runs Hofer on a rain-soaked field against Houston with the playoffs already sown up and Hofer reinjuries th...

Cook is a great example ...

I always wonder how good Robert Brooks of the Packers could have been without injuries and of course Ickey Woods.

Ottis Anderson and Priest Holmes were also on their way to the HOF before knee injuries, though I still believe both are deserving ... Edgerrin James had a bad knee injury but came back very well. Could we all imagine Butkus playing 15 years ?

Sayers but George Webster deserves speculation as well. He, like Sterling Sharpe, were on their way to the HOF before their injuries. Sims, Andrews and Davis werent far behind. One of the reasons the Jets championship in 68 was so special, was what happened in 1967 with knee injuries to Snell and Bo...

I am happy and felt both were deserving. The only knock on Pearson was his TD totals but he mostly went over the middle making it easier for his teammates like Hill, Richards and Johnson to score TDs. Yes, Flores was bad in Seattle but had to deal with Davis's meddling and moving the team as well. H...

Had to join in on this discussion though it's an older thread. Many people may disagree on Stabler getting into the HOF but one thing is for sure ... he was a winner and involved in some of the greatest games ever played. He took the starting job from one of the best arms and winning percentages eve...
