tomdayfan Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 He's one of 60 senior nominees who made it through the cut from 182. Jack Kemp is also on the list. Tom Sestak and Darryl Talley didn't make the cut. Sestak was a beast. https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2024/10/60-seniors-advance-in-voting-process-for-pro-football-hall-of-fame-class-of-2025/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFrtzdleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHbYd9_TC7G_msWH2xU9T1_xRsmJzZRSe3rFZ-E4dMCjEPn_JtTdBaBjytg_aem_UR5Ra3mB1qKzO2rXfy4NNA 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 "In late fall, this committee will select three Seniors as Finalists" 3 of 60, I don't see Tasker making the final cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP51 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I love me some DT not sure he is HOF though... I would think Cornelius Bennett more than DT (although this is a clear debate) ... Steve Tasker really took special teams to a new level... I hope they both get in just cause they are Bills... I think Steve has the best shot obviously cause he made the cut. Sestak I just dont remember I was probably on the bottle with out booze when he played. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP51 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 My guess is Albert Lewis, Kuchenberg and LC Greenwood make it thru after looking at it... but I debated a few like Fralic and Hinton also Roger Craig and Tasker, clayton and swilling... lots of good names there.

I wonder if we had won a SB or multiple would that be an afterthought and him put in? Tasker is 100% in years ago if he has a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I have always thought Tasker's best shot was once he was a senior nominee. They tend to look more at those less traditional contributors and I think he could very well find a route in that way. Whether it is this year, who knows. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think character is very important to Hall of Fame. Tasker changed special teams - they changed rules for a number of teams could not handle him 3 on 1. He was not "just another special teams player". 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: I have always thought Tasker's best shot was once he was a senior nominee.

Tasker's chance depends on who will go to bat for him in voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Spartacus Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I feel like Sestak deserves it, but players that go that far back don't get the notoriety they deserve in this modern era. Tasker IMO 100% should be in the Hall. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Maybe voters feel that since that team was 0-4 in SB's they don't deserve anymore in the HOF? This should be all the evidence they need: https://youtu.be/WvETIAEGovg?si=CJWVAawJHCeFM8Yi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on Tasker, if a punter got in for ST work, Tasker most certainly should be in 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomper Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 A question for the Bills fans here who watch Sestak play. How would you describe his style of play? I know he was a beast but all I've seen is grainy footage of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginthepast Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I look at Tasker like a few other Bills on that 90s run. He was a great player but probably 1 tier below HOF level. Definitely in the Bills HOF though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
