michaeln Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Just heard Joe Theisman on ESPN's Jim Patrick show answering questions on who should be in the HOF. He talked at length about why Art Monk should be in the HOF, but that the process is too subjective and political. He also said Jacoby and Grimm should be in, but said no to Mark Moseley and, surprisingly, Darrell Green. Go figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 That strikes me as odd. But, his opinion is his opinion I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCnDaHouse Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I think Darrell should be in there as well. But as you know it's all a matter of opinion. MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeln Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 One more thing: Jim Patrick was rattling off names of HOF contenders, and when Darrell Green's name came up, Theisman first said yes, and then changed his mind and said no. Unfortunately, Patrick didn't ask why the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Deadman Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'm not sure why he said no to Green. Green will probably be the next Skin in the HOF unless Monk and Grimm get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 odd. Green with his 20 years on 1 team, high level of play, spotless off-field life....seems like a 1st ballot lock for the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I could see Green getting the same BS treatment Monk's gotten. People could claim he was solid, but unspectacular which is clear when you realize he didn't have a lot of INTs for such a long career and didn't take away half the field the way Deion did. Of course they'll be basing their argument on Green from age 35-40, and not Green in his prime. But memories are short. And style seems to prevail over substance with this group of voters. I'm not going to hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Green should be the first person on that list that makes the Hall. Theisman probably just has a healthy dislike of defensive backs, if you noticed, the 3 guys he said yes to are Olineman that protect the QB and a WR that made his QB's look good. (I think they should all get in personally) The 2 guys he said no to were a defensive back and a kicker (no football player respects the kicker) Im sure Mr. Green just made Ol' Joe look silly on occasion and everyone knows about 7's precious ego.

I'm not going to hold my breath. I hope you're wrong Henry, but your points make alot of sense. Plus DG, unlike Sanders (much like Monk vs Irvin) is not a flashy guy. I was hoping DG would be a 1st ballot guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neophyte Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I think Darrell is a clear HOF guy and likely a first ballot guy. He has a much higher off the field profile than Art Monk does thanks to his charity work. Not that Art does not do charity work as well but Darrell's just seems to be in the public eye a lot more. Add that to his high light reel from his playing days (people still talk about him chasing down Dorsett on MNF as a rookie with awe) and I just can't see him not getting in the HOF. He was amazing. Also consider that he gets invited to things like the Legends game this last year at the Pro Bowl. Monk is not getting that call. I think that sort of thing is a sign as well.

It's not about how many teams, how long you played, or how great a guy you are. Being elected to the Hall of Fame is about how great of a football player you were. Fortunately, Green was great enough where he will make it 1st ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think #28 will get in, first ballot, but the vote will be far too close for comfort :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Prime Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 DG is a first ballot HoFer... No one of his era.. NO ONE... played the position with as much skill and grace. Will he make it on the first try.... Ask Joe Gibbs.. He gives you the answer in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 If Theisman said that his star should be removed from the Redskins ring of fame (or whatever it's called). Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BleedinBurgundyandGold Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 With the very biased and idiotic way the HOF committee selects its entrants, it's websites like this one that are so valuable in continuing the to carry the torch for the TRULY great players of seasons past. 28. 81. 66. 68. OUR Hall of Famers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
