Hall of Fame Induction for Reggie

[PhillyPhreak54]

Al Davis looks like death warmed over.

Sara's speech is kind of all over the place. And she thanked Rich Kotite.

I can't find the link where I read this, but Lurie was quoted as saying to Dawkins, "The next time that I'll be here (Canton), will be when they induct you."

If the Eagles weren't going to make a serious effort to keep him here, I doubt Lurie would have spoken those words.

[PhillyPhreak54]

It's a total front by that blueblood Boston hack, Lurie.

Everyone knows that he will not do what it takes to re-sign him. He's cheap and he'll tell Banner to lowball him on purpose.

He'll let Dawk walk.

That's probably right, but he might show up for Eric Allen in the interim.

[PhillyPhreak54]

But I like the quote and it's my sig line now.

EA left after 1994 - Lurie's first year.

So? He'll be there as a representative of the Eagles, just like with Reggie White.

do you guys think dawk is a hof'er?

4 pro bowls in 11 seasons.

[Drunkmasterflex]

do you guys think dawk is a hof'er?

As much as I love Dawk he is very borderline, if he makes great but right now I would say that it is very doubtful.  Of the current players on the roster I would think McNabb has the best chance to make it.  If he wins a SB he will be a stone cold lock.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I thik Dawk makes it.

I disagree with you on both points. Dawkins is well respected by a lot of the people who have votes. Dr. Douche has said he's an absolute lock. He's not a first ballot guy, but I think it's more likely than not that he will get in eventually.

The hurdles are much higher for QB. McNabb needs to start winning some Super Bowls. If not, he'll probably need another decade of playing at his current level, or at least a couple years of playing at the superhuman Peyton Manning 2004-2005 level.

Jim Kelly is in the HOF and he is not as good of a QB as McNabb imo.  You think that McNabb has to win multiple SBs? I think if he wins one he is a lock for the Hall.

[QB Eagles]

The three HOF recent QBs I can think of who didn't win an SB were Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, and Warren Moon. McNabb's statistical achievements don't even approach those of the last two guys, and when he leads the Eagles into four straight Super Bowls we can talk about him being as good as Jim Kelly. Yes, Kelly had a pack of other Hall of Famers around him, but the Hall tends to overlook that.

Winning a Super Bowl would help McNabb's chances greatly without a doubt, but it wouldn't make him a lock. Right now McNabb is about at the same level as a Randall Cunningham or a Steve McNair-type candidate. Two Super Bowls would make him a lock, one would make him a good candidate. Right now he's not a serious candidate.

[Drunkmasterflex]

It is early because he has probably at least five more seasons left, you compare him to McNair and Cunningham and they are both borderline prospects so to me that would make McNabb one as well.

Fran Tarkenton and Dan Fouts said "Hi" from Canton.
