"Special teamers can't start (ie: not good enough) on normal Offense/defense." Was exact opposite with Tasker. Levy didn't want to put him @ WR... Because He wanted to save Him for Special Teams. You heard that Kelly begged Levy to start Tasker @ WR! Levy's decision there may be keeping Tasker out of HoF because of the voters ass-backwards thinking about Special Teamers when applied to Tasker! Levy is still alive... He should speak up and say Tasker was a capable starter in order to quell the BS beliefs some of these HoF voters have that Special Teamers like Tasker aren't good enough to play/start @ other positions! Tasker clearly was, Kelly begged to put Him @ WR... See some of those catches Tasker made! Edited September 14, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois 1

It's shared equally. Hmm, I always thought the player had to choose. Like James Lofton choosing to go in as a packer. http://www.profootballhof.com/players/james-lofton/ Edited September 14, 2018 by PeterDude 1

Same goes for Talley. I'd love to see him get in but think it may take a few years. I can see Larry Centers making it in the next few years. And of course Tasker. For the love of God, please let the guy in already Agreed. Tasker for ST too 1
boyst Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 Troy Vincent is so damn overrated it's not even funny but he'll get in because he has his name all over.

I will always remember Will Wolford talking to the media after a game from the locker room. A critical Kent Hull holding penalty was being discussed and Will said something like "Believe me, Kent doesn't hold" as if to say there is no way it could have been a good call b/c in Wolford's mind, Hull literally did not hold, like ever....b/c he just didn't need to. Coming from a guy as good as Wolford that is high praise. I don't think Kent will get into the HOF, but he should! I completely agree. I am shocked and amazed to this day that he isn’t already in the Hall of Fame.

CLTbills Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 I still want to see Tasker get in. I understand why some people don't want special teams guys int the HOF. But he was so good, he had a knack for explosive plays that changed the outcomes of games. Never before had the league seen someone like him on special teams, and I don't believe we've seen once since. The dude was the MVP of the pro bowl as a special teamer. I know the pro bowl is just an exhibition deal but..... c'mon. That's a game filled with the best of the best.... and a special teamer was the MVP
