This is from an old post...I added Alex Webster at the end... Out of boredom of every sporting event being cancelled, I crunched numbers of some 1950’s RBs to come up with a ‘usage percentage’, which is simply taking their career all-purpose yardage totals and figuring out what percentage of that t...

Tucker just got to 300 field goals and is officially over halfway to Vinatieri's record. Since it took 9 seasons and change he is on pace to break the record around 40. If he plays deep into his 40s like some kickers do he has the potential to annihilate the record.

Though I would prefer Eddie Price slightly over Webster, its interesting that Webster had more productivity with Tittle at QB over Conerly. A valuable member of division winning teams, he definitely is an underrated back with a HOVG case. Didnt do much in the postseason after his two TDs in the 56 ...

Best player not in HOVG IMO is Alex Webster who I believe should be in the HOF. He had more rushing yards than his HOF teammate Frank Gifford and averaged more yards from scrimmage as well(77.2). He also averaged more rushing yards than McElhenny averaged more of everything than Ollie Matson. While ...

The list has 8 kickers 3 of whom are in their first 2 NFL seasons. The 5 established names are Tucke...

I think the worst omission was Porcher who has a solid HOF case. 95.5 sacks in less than a decade, 3 pro bowls and all pros. Among 90s Lions I think he's got a better shot than Herman Moore of induction. I know the HOF requires someone to nominate you but does this really mean major candidates with...

DeMarcus Ware Devin Hester Anquan Boldin(most have him third among the newly eligible receivers I have him first) Steve Smith Andre Johnson Robert Mathis This is one of those years where the newly eligible class is really strong and I think they' might take all 6 spots. While I don't expect the vote...

Justin Tucker today set a new record for the longest field goal in NFL History at 66 yards... two thirds of the field.. https://www.nfl.com/news/ravens-kicker-justin-tucker-nfl-record-66-yard-field-goal-lions Will we see the record broken again? What do you think is the longest possible field goal;...

Think they should go the baseball route of having seperate committees for seperate eras if they are only going to be looking at candidates from the 60s onwards. Given the late date of the Halls founding I think the lionshare of worthy candidates who've been denied are from before 1960 .
