I'm with Paul: I don't think PFHOF ever went "Big Hall." I think the media attention increased, some inductees were more obscure than others, and perhaps it went more "Random Hall" with the senior process than some would have liked. But even that relatively small senior expansion...

I'm dropping my reactions and analysis here: https://www.youtube.com/@ashotonehlobyjacksilverste4416/shorts The big question upcoming is the actual voters. That could completely alter who we consider as having momentum. If Geoff Hobson is not a voter this year, for instance, and they also remove a f...

Coach A: 11 years, 114-62 .648 winning percentage, 10-5 post-season .667 winning percentage, 8 winning seasons, 9 non-losing seasons Coach B: 15 years, 104-75-9 .581 winning percentage, 3-1 post-season .750 winning percentage, 10 winning seasons, 11 non-losing seasons Coach C: 12 years, 97-87 .527 ...

Because the only player other than Eli to have two Super Bowl MVPs and have more passing yards, touchdowns and completions is Tom Brady. Eli retired as seventh all-time in passing yards, touchdowns and completions. Seventh with two SB MVPs. I did present Eli earlier this year in our mock Hall proce...

Here's an angle I factor in: if Patrick Mahomes had retired after his third ring, he would be a HOFer. In six seasons as a starter he had three championships, led comebacks in all three, five Super Bowls, seven straight AFC title games, two MVPs, a passing title, two 5K seasons, two TD titles, and w...

This is a terrific article from a 64-year-old St. Louis Football Cardinals fan and his push for Ottis Anderson to make the Hall. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49529551/ottis-anderson-fan-nfl-hall-fame It explores why older fans are predominantly leading these campaigns, how voters feel about i...

This was my defining criteria: * The “bet your life” factor * Complete career * Elite passing abilities, stats and achievements This was my list: 1. Brady 2. Montana 3. Mahomes 4. Graham 5. Unitas 6. Manning 7. Marino 8. Baugh 9. Rodgers 10. Elway I could be talked into a few different directions fo...

Thus far, Patrick Mahomes has led his team to five Super Bowls, winning three of them. He's a two-time league MVP and a three-time Super Bowl MVP. Where do you rank Patrick Mahomes in NFL QB history? When Clark Judge asked our old Judge & Jury crew last year to give our top 10 QBs ever, I put M...

We're missing a big one, and it's on me to include them: The 80s Bears. After '85, we went 14-2, 11-4, 12-4 and then 11-5 in both '90 and '91. But we only won two playoff games ('88 and '90) and lost at home in '86, '87, '88 and '91. Those losses included the shocking one-and-out seasons of '86 and ...

Definitely.
