Hmmm...... ok. March.

Pick either one.

I'd take a 25 year old Parsons over a 29 year old Garrett and not even think twice.

My guess is he gets signed by the Cowboys the first Sunday of the season for 60 million a year.

I was thinking more making the Super Bowl to go full Favre but just a letter further to make Jets fans more miserable.

It may not be his fault but this news dropping on the day of the Super Bowl is so Aaron Rodgers.

He got a 37 on the Wonderlic so I don't think it's an unreasonable criticism as he's capable of it.

Smart for them to hire the Special Teams coach that they converted a fake punt against in the playoffs.

He could do the funniest thing ever. Sign with the Vikings and make the Super Bowl.

I'd put a considerable amount of blame on the Special Teams in losses to the Jets in 2023, the Broncos in 2023, and the Rams game this past year on special teams blunders. You can't have that.

Wow. Surprising news. Besides not converting any fake punt attempted, giving up every fake punt attempted, giving up a plethora of long kick and punt returns, not having the correct number of men on the field in critical game moments, and allowing multiple blocked punts throughout his tenure I thought he did a great job. McDermott better be right about this.

Yeah. If those all pro votes came out after the MVP award Josh would've went in as the favorite. Maybe they should just wait until after the Honors awards to release their All Pro votes. Add to the suspense a little bit.

True. Whenever something pissed me off before this whole internet fad I would just B word about it to my next store neighbor Mike. He'd cool me off with a six pack. Now I have the ability to connect with thousands of people I don't know who have the same opinions I do and it frustrates me more. I miss just talking to Mike.

I wouldn't either but saying his whole HOF case came down to him playing well in just those two SB's is inaccurate imo. He won five playoff road games and one home game to even get to those two SB's. That's the case I'd make if I was presenting. It pry wouldn't hold water though.

He did lead those teams to the Super Bowl though both as Wild Cards. Going 4-0 twice in the postseason with a passer rating of 95.7 in 2007 playoffs and 103.3 in the 2011 playoffs (15 TD's, 2 INT's in those games). He also has two iconic plays in the final drive of two Super Bowls with two clutch throws against the best team this century and trailed in the 4th quarter in both of those games. We've seen lesser QB's go on one post season heater but never two like Eli. Brady might have nine rings right now if it wasn't for him making those two iconic throws for the game winning drive. He's a really interesting candidate to say the least.

I bet that all the 99% of people that said they were going to boycott the game two weeks ago don't follow through.

That's always bothered me too because once you're enshrined it really doesn't matter if it was first ballot or not because you're a HOFer. A law student who graduates bottom of his class and barely passes the bar is still a lawyer. We do say first ballot HOFer but I don't see that on any of their busts in Canton. It was interesting listening to Carucci talk (who couldn't get into specifics) about how when they were debating Eli they felt he wasn't deserving of getting in his first year of eligibility so they've created basically two tiers of levels of greatness. First ballot means you're the best of the best and you just hear the name and there's no argument. The one caveat to that is the voters are required to name three modern era players each year. Anything after that means you're still very good to great but a tier below the first ballot guys. I'd love to hear their rationale for why they didn't consider Kuechly a first ballot HOFer and my guess is he didn't have a long enough career. So I think if Eli gets in it'll be a year when you really have a weak cast of first time eligibles.

Why?

Ravens fans and Bills fans have been defending their QB from all the critics since they were drafted because they were such polarizing prospects. They're also such great leaders that teammates and fans will go to war for them (theoretically speaking). Any slight or perceived injustice will lead fans to aggressively defend their guy.

He received death threats because he denied Lamar the unanimous MVP last year. Nothing but respect for Schatz.

So he won MVP, most overrated player, biggest trash talker, and sportsmanship award in the same season. He's never boring. I'll give him that.

How did Luke Kuechly not get in? Played eight years, 5 first team all pros (two 2nd teams), 7 pro bowls, offensive rookie of the year, and one defensive player of the year. Also, I don't like to root against a player but Eli getting in as a 1st ballot HOFer would've sullied the honor a little bit imo.

Vegas always know.

That definitely hurt his case. Lamar is a great QB but I always found it odd that whenever they lost the criticism was they abandoned their run game. Pry too small a sample size. It sucks that race is even brought up.

If I was a neutral party it would not be an easy choice. I pry would've split the baby (Lamar 1st team all pro, Josh MVP) like some voters did.
