TO reportedly didn't even make top 10. Doesn't look like he will ever get the call. Numbers definitely there, but made too many enemies with his attitude and personality.

TO not getting in is a travesty.

Morton Anderson gets in, and TO doesn't. That is crap.

Kenny Easley was an absolute monster. Hard to imagine he doesn't have CTE going on.

What is the anti-TO argument? That he was difficult?

TO not even being top 10 is downright insanity.

Horrible. Just making a joke of the HOF at that point.

TO was the second best receiver of my lifetime (that I saw in their prime) if I rank Moss ahead of him.

The HOF is a complete joke.

While TD was a great back, IMO he just doesn't have the numbers or longevity.

isn't the whole point with terrell davis that quality > longevity? i mean, sheeeeit, if terrell davis gets in the HOF that means sterling sharpe should be in the HOF, right?

(inb4 someone cracks a "marcus robinson for HOF" joke, or something like "marty booker and the a-train will get in on the strength of 2001 alone, right?" =)

I he had another couple of seasons with 1400+ yards, then yes.

He had two great seasons, one really good season, one OK season, and was MIA for most of his last three.

Yeah, his career stats aren't at all impressive. He also played in a system that churned out a new great runningback every year.

At some point, the HOF is going to have to change this 5 per year rule. You've got a backlog of people waiting to get in, and every year you finally let someone in, you are forcing someone who is newly eligible to wait for no good reason.

Davis jumps off the page as a guy who probably doesn't deserve the HOF, but even if it wasn't him, you have Faneca, Atwater, Lynch, Boselli, Bruce, Walker, Watters, Centers, Alexander, Barber, Bruschi, Joyner, McGinest, Porter, Thomas, Harrison, Sharper, Woodson, and Ochocinco all that (in my view, at least) have an equal right to get in, with MANY of them waiting longer than TO.

Isn't Owens on the ballot next year? The numbers say he is absolutely a HOF guy..but he was an awful teammate, I'd never want him on my team, you can't really say that about any other hall of famer.

Agreed, TD has no business in the HOF.

Sayers has no business being in, he was a fumbler and couldn't even muster 5k yards rushing.

That's insane. He's one of those no doubter first ballot guys.

And yeah, a kicker making it over TO almost makes this as bad as the baseball and basketball halls.
