CTaylor42 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I think DG is a lock. If Darrell Green doesn't get in, that will prove that there is a anti-Redskin bias in the Hall of Fame. The credibility of the HOF would be questioned, IMHO. But, we also thought that about Art Monk. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaron Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 DG is the epitomy of the type of player that should be in the HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Bait Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 darrell green is the greatest cb of all time. Joe theisman is the most annoying anouncer of all time! I hate theisman, it sounds like something he would say. art monk should have been in the hall of fame the first year he was eligiblel. Only Jerry Rice was better than art.

redskinsfansince1973 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Even cowboy and giants fans have told me they think D.G. should get in! I will be at this years induction ceremony,I will be the guy holding up a huge "WHY NOT MONK?" sign!:logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 That's funny considering Green will be IN the hof and Thiesman will NOT. He's probably butthurt cuz green is a far better player than Thiesman ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFrank Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 For once, I can agree with Redskins fans on a couple of things: 1. Darrell Green does belong in the HOF. 2. Joe Theismann is a moron. It only took some you guys 20 years to figure it out. I pretty much knew when he threw that bonehead interception in SB XVIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeNoRevs Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 People saying stuff about Thiemann's broken leg is classless. That was one of the most devastating injuries of all time in football. I don't wish that kind of injury on anyone. Joe was an MVP of the league and lead OUR team to the SB twice and won it once. Joe is entitled to his opinion. Just like you guys are. What makes your opinion out weigh his so much to call his moronic? Charity work, Playing for 1 team does not make you a HOF Level of play during the years you are in the NFL does, and to me, that will get #28 in the HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Theismann is an idiot. Green is a 7 time Pro Bowl CB who played his entire career on a team that was always underrepresented in the Pro Bowl. At least John Madden had it right and put Green on his All-Madden team almost every year, even when the Skins were going 4-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budski Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Theisman is way out of line. Green will go in on the same Ballot as Aikman, they both are cut from the same cloth. Class acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another passive aggressive post Coach Parcells...sort of like, the Cowboys were great in the 90's, but they suck turds right now. But, please hang around...you're kinda funny.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Maybe he's just speaking honestly about the state of the process of picking people. I know many people hate him, but he's still our guy and I still like him. What he did for us his last 4-5 seasons was simply great. I like him. I like hearing him as an announcer and he'll always be one of my favorites and IMO, had he not gotten injured and could've putten together about 3 more solid seasons he could've been in the HOF.

jrfriedm Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Its popular to dis the Redskins right now, and Theisman having no REAL back bone always has to go with the majority and do the popular thing. I have lost just about lost all repect for Joe Theisman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Theismann played longer with Monk and more closely. Green was just starting his NFL career when Theismann retired and played on the other side of the ball. I think Theismann's comments are based on that relationship with Monk and in no way show an unbiased opinion. Green was a 7 time pro bowler who when he retired was the then current leader in career interceptions. He also had as big an impact on the postseason success of his teams over the years as any cornerback since Lester Hayes and Michael Haynes. The big knock on Monk rightfully or wrongfully is a lack of production in the postseason and in making the big, signature plays to help the Redskins win. Darrell Green during his 20 year career was JUST that type of football player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been in the HOF if he had done great things before Gibbs took over in 81 which was about his 10th professional year. The fact is he was no better than Rypien in the end.

Maybe I am wrong since I was only 8 years old in 1985, when LT broke his leg, but wasnt he having an aweful year and people where crying for head? I thought he was having an aweful season in 85.

Jarvman Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I don't post here often...and yes I am a Dallas Fan (Ducking from the beer bottles being thrown). But I think think that Darrell Green should be a 1st ballot HOF'er. Being the old guy that I am, I've seen the guy play lights out for years. To think ole Joe would say something like that about Darrell Green is really just showing his ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paydirt Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 First, I believe someone said early in this thread that Darrell didn't take away half the field like Deon did. This is just false. I heard Parcels tell Phill Simms before a game not to even look Darrell's way during the game or he would bench him. Second, me recollection is that Theisman was getting happy feet his last year and was really stinking things up. It may have been due to a lack of good protection. But, that was a long time ago, and it seems I have trouble remembering yesterday's events nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh lighten up.....Believe it or not....I'm not actually going to call my good ole' buddy LT up and pay him to break Joe Theisman's other leg. It was in jest. Now, if I would have said that I hope the first time Drew Bledsoe throws a pass this season his arm flys off and impales Meshawn through the back.......that would be classless......but I would never say such a thing. And finally in my defense.....Joe is a poopoo head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtyler42 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Darrell Green definately deserves to be in the HOF....Not only for his longevity but his high level of play over that time...Can anyone ever remember him having a poor season? DG is in the top 3 of best corners of his era...Rod Woodson, Darrell Green, and Deon Sanders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
