After getting bent out of shape over something that may or may not happen I decided to chill out and LET OTHERS WORRY about those things. I saw where Miami had 9 players in the hall of Fame, is this correct ? I was kind of shocked that Mercury Morris wasnt in the H.O.F. regardless of why or why not I will go back and recount the number of Steelers, Cowboys, and Patriots just for the hell of it.. is Dan Marino the last player that Miami will get into the H.O.F. ? I'M wishing now that Miami would throw the ball a lot more so this club can put up good numbers. three dolphin players in my own opinion that should be in (this is my own opinion) that Nat Moore , Richmond Webb BOB Kuechenberg spelling ? should be in. I STILL prclaim that Zach Thomas is getting screwed over because of Brian Urlacher and other linebackers. i dont expect anymore dolphins toget in but these players I thought mightbe worthy .
Taylor will get in. Webb and Zach both have a shot, buth Zach being the better bet IMO. Nat Moore has no shot and shouldn't.
Morris only ran for 1000 yards in a season once in his 8 year career 5 of the eight years he had 23,60,57,56,50 rushing attempts...246 rushing attempts in 5 years (72 games) He also had 9 tds in those same 5 years(72 games) In 8 years and 99 games he had 54 receptions and 1 receiving touchdown He did have 2 good years in 1972/1973 that he had 22 tds and had 1954 yards rushing but he was very far from being a hall of fame player
I completely agree with Zach Thomas- He should definitely be considered for the HOF. It just sucks cause his career came to an end due to injuries. Given the fact of his Stats in his years as a pro- he out performed most LBs in the league. He may not be a first ballot but could be a strong argument: Zach Thomas / 5'11" 225lbs 13 seasons 1,737 tackles 20.5 sacks 17 ints 16 FF 4 TDs Ray Lewis / 6'1" 250lbs (stats for first 13 seasons) 1,637 tackles 33.5 sacks 28 ints 12 FF 2 TDs
You just can't disregard the last 4 years that Ray Lewis has played add 425 more tackles for Ray 8 more sacks,3 more interceptions and 7 more forced fumbles
Bob Kuchenberg should be in. As much as I love(d) Nat Moore - Nope. Jason Taylor is a lock IMHO, though maybe not 1st ballot.
I had forgotten that part of 9 tds in five years I guess that is why Miami fell off from being a Dynasty. I am also at the crossroads of thinking if Ricky hadn't gotten messed up he could definately been a HOF player .
