Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

if darrell green is not a first ballot hall of famer than something is seriously wrong in the world

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

No doubt. It's a near certainty. Is he eligible this next year, or the year after?

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

im not sure... the wait is 5 years right??

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

Yeah.

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

If 81 is not a first ballot HOFer, then no way should 28 be one. I like him and all, but no way is Darrell Green more deserving than Art Monk.

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

I would say that Darrell Green is absolutely a Hall of Fame player, who will greatly benefit by the fact that no other "mortal locks" retired the same year he did.

I hope he does make it, and soon, because I'm sure he will credit his skill to (after God and the coaching staff) the players he practiced against - namely Art Monk. It occurs to me that the only way the writers are going to vote him in is if they are shamed into it.

Something[I] is[/I] seriously wrong with the world as shown by Art Monk not being a selectee -- yet. Darrell is entirely deserving of a first ballot election, but I say the voters won't put him in until they vote Deion Sanders in first. And know what they will say? Even Daniel Snyder benched Green for Sanders !!!

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

The pressure will be high to put Darrell in b/c he was such a good role model on top of being a great player. At least I hope so. It will be sweet if he says some stuff about Art Monk trying to grease the wheels on his admission too.

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

i disagree that d snyder benched mr green. it was shottenhiemer (spelling?) and old #28 should be first ballot, maybe the first original lockdown corner

Monk should have been but Green shouldn't have to pay for idiot sports writters mistake.

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

I believe Green will be on the first ballot and it would be neat to see him and Monk go at the same time. They both deserve it.

Re: Darrell Green... first ballot hof?
 

I agree DG should be a first ballot hof. You can not compare DG with Monk.. you should never say Monk is more deserving.. They are both GREAT REDSKINS. BOTH worked their asses of ON AND OFF the field and look at this they kept out of trouble..maybe that might hurt DG on getting in.. But they should Retire #28. 20 yrs same team. not many others can say they have played 20 yrs much less with the same team , unless youre a kicker, then you would have been on 5-6 teams in that 20 yr period. never heard any whining out of him. Yeah Retire #28.. Would be great to see to ex-team mates make it the same time.. heres a link.. atleast one is wrong in this link.. #55.. DG would be another one to add to that #55
