USA Today's List of 17 NFL HOF'ers Who Don't Belong in the Hall

[d.green]

10. Curtis Martin

 

[Rampage12]

I feel like he's whoring for attention because even though he was way before my time Ray Guy was the Punter everyone had been supporting to get into the Hall for like 20 years so he's gotta be like the greatest Punter ever right???

But in his defense I had no idea Marcus Allen and Lynn Swann had such average careers. Allen only had three 1,000 yard seasons?!? Swann's career high in receiving yards for a season was 880?!? FOH

 

[So ILL]

That writer at USA TODAY probably didn't even play high school-level ball, so how would they judge whether a professional athlete would belong in hall of fame or not? Mel Kiper got these stat geeks feeling themselves way too much.

Martin is one of the best backs of all time.

Martin who? Back of what? Foh One of,the nest longevity but hes not

Martin is one of the best backs of all time.

Argue he deserves to be in the Hall is 1 thing, but' one of the best of all time' now you're off your rocker

That's verbiage saved for top 10, and he is not a top 10 all time back doesn't matter what the rush yards say bc backs in his era got more carries. Him avg exactly 4ypc let's you know

When u think of 1 of the best u think OJ, Barry, Emmit, Dickerson, Peterson, Faulk, Sayers, Payton

Bettis, martin, Gore, names like that are NOT in the same echelon

 

[Alpha_Ambition]

Marcus Allen #'s are crazy low WTF. only 3 1,000 yard seasons. He said Joe Namath was tough to put on list, but Warren Moon isn't smh. I think he is generating an unpopular opinion to get views. He said Warren Moon's pass attempts in a season is 10th now. So that means guys like brees and manning shouldn't get in either huh? LOL @ marvy levy not being in because he got blown out in the SB's

 

[aneed123]

The whole list us bullshit. Moon dont belong but he was I think 3rd all time in oasis g yards when he retired... Carter? Martin? Gtfoh

 

[themadlionsfan]

martin deserves to be in the HOF but he shouldnt have been a first ballot. he did nothing that stood out to me

14000 yards isn't "standing out"

 

[Shizlansky]

Niggas showing their football knowledge with not knowing Martin was elite as fuck.

If Curtis Martin wasn't an elite back then I don't understand what an elite back is supposed to be. These dudes who are talking shit about Curtis Martin, I honestly don't believe they watched him play.

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

Nah he went too far lol

But Curtis Martin the only one i 100% agree is no Hall of Famer. That's just strange. I remember his entire career he was an afterthought .

John Stallworth and Bob Griese i remember having doubts about

Curtis Martin is 4th on the all time rushing list silly nigga

If he ain't a HoFer neither is LT,Eric Dickerson,Marshall Falk and Jerome Bettis whom all have rushed for less yards in the same amount of years as Martin

IDK what hack wrote this article but lol at some of these names ...lol @ "Curtis Martin was never considered one of the best RBS"

Lmaoooooooo Nigga was a 3 time all pro a rookie of the year and 2 time rushing leader ....

Yall niggas need to stop going to these fuckboiiii websites to get your sporting information ... A lot of this shit is just click bait for someone's struggle ass webpage

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

Joe namath doesnt belong nigga numbers are garbage. Nigga literally had more interceptions than tds

Joe Namaith saved the NFL during the merger ...he propelled the AFL into being considered a true competitor to the national football league and allowed people to take the unification serious ...if anything maybe they should have been put in as an "ambassador" ..but either way Broadway Joe deserves his spot

He didn't wreck in that game though. Just was the quarterback.

 

[Shizlansky]

One moment shouldn't get you in the HOF

 

[5th Letter]

Namath was the first QB to ever throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

 

[R.D.]

Martin is one of the best backs of all time.

This is such a broad statement

If you mean, he's one of the best as in top 25-50, ok but Curtis Martin ain't a top 10 RB of all time

Don't see how everyone is hating on Curtis Martin, yeah he was low key for the most part besides dating Toni Braxton but he rushed for over 1,000 yards every single season he played except for his last one, has the 4th most rushing yards in NFL history, has 90 rushing TD's and 10 more receiving TD's.

Didn't know this b4 I posted that

Still stand by him not being top 10

 

[bigrizz]

Curtis Martin only has three people in history ahead of him.,.,wtf does he have to do?

 

[nc81]

Question will Edgerrin James make the hall

 

[S2J]

In no order:

Jim Brown

Barry

Oj

Dickerson

Emmit

Faulk

LT

Walter

Gale Sayers

Earl Campbell

I mean some of those guys are in the small group in discussion for best PLAYER to ever play the game, let alone RB

Those giys can say they are the 'one of the best RBs ever'

There's levels people. Ok, Curtis is a hall of famer. Everything else? calm down. He cant walk with those guys above

 

[Shizlansky]

Sayers?

Naw. Dude career was too short

 

[Shizlansky]

Earl Campbell?

Naw
