SWFLSkins Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I just saw Bang passing around this tweet and I did a three page search and saw no thread for this. This guy is certainly worthy of getting in. SOME MILD Language in the Youtube Rant video above^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetThePointsSoar Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 There was an old thread a couple months ago, but considering today is the day, I think it's VERY warranted. Today is the day. Joe HAS to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Cumberland Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 This is his last year of eligibility as a Modern-Era nominee too. Next year he'd have to be considered by the Sr. Committee which is even more difficult to get in from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 That SUCKS. How the committee can pass is just indicative of not recognizing the contributions of the past. They put Russ Grimm in, and rightfully so, but IMO, Jacoby was and remains the best offensive lineman this team has ever had. If the Hogs are to be legendary, and they are, then their mainstay needs to be recognized. how long does he have to wait for senior consideration? ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there's any cooling off period required from being a modern-era nominee so could perhaps be considered next year... /shrug Edit: It's talked about here: http://www.profootballhof.com/heroes-of-the-game/selection-process-faq/ He'll be one to be considered next year as he was a finalist this year.. The whole process is outlined in the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Boselli was bad, but I believe Jacoby was better, and got better results than Boselli anyway. At one point you have to review the evaluation process, because it really seems flawed.

Rufus T Firefly Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 It's Urlacher that irks me. He was a nice player, probably a HOFer. But did he need to be a first-ballot guy? No way. The fact that someone could be a voter and decide to bypass the best Hog in his final year so he could make sure Urlacher was a first-ballot Hall of Famer just proves how terrible those voters are.

SkinsGuy Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Well, at least Beathard finally got his due. Congrats to him. It's criminal that Jacoby has to have the senior committee put him in because the sports injits who do the voting all have stars in their eyes. They only vote for famous names, or for people who made (make) a lot of noise in the media. A different voting system is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlives Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I don’t disagree with most of the class they inducted, but they couldve let Dawkins wait a year and put Joe on that roster. The most notorious offensive line ever and only 1 member in the Hall. Whoever we have lobbying for our players is not doing their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Recency bias SUCKS. Make Urlacher and Dawk wait. Just ask LT if JJ deserves induction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissident2 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Wow, absolutely sucks. Such a great guy. I thought this would certainly be the year, as he's now going to have to wait a longer time to get in as a senior member. If he lives long enough to even see it. Feel really bad for Joe. I could tell he was really wanting it bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlives Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I hope Beatherd uses his speech to take the committee to task for their oversight on the 80’s Skins. Highly under-represented in the Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 To me, the HOF has failed in only having one member of the Hogs. If they were smart, they'd induct them as a group, but Jacoby, Grimm, and probably Lachey despite having a reasonably short career deserve in. Jacoby redefined what an offensive tackle was and looked like. His size, physicality, and movement redefined the position. For that alone, he should be in. The fact that he was a cornerstone of one of the best lines in NFL history and was a critical part of a team that won three Super Bowls just cements the farce that he isn't in.
