Darrell Green and the Hall of Fame?

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 01-19-2007, 05:29 PM

Does anyone know when Darrell is eligible for the HOF?

I would think he would be a first ballot guy. Do you?

wilsowilso · 01-19-2007, 05:31 PM

It will take them about 3 seconds to vote in #28.

Thats what most people said about Art Monk...

gibbsisgod · 01-19-2007, 05:34 PM

I think he is eligible next year.

My buddy (Giants Fan) thinks he is a first Ballot HOFer. You don't usually hear that kind of talk from Rival fans. I am not sure if he is first ballot or not, but he belongs in the hall.

I cannot imagine that he would not be a first balloter. I mean he was the best CB in the league during his prime. Add the fastest man wins and he has the aura too. I think that is the one thing missing from Monk. He never had an aura because he was so quiet. Well except to Skins fans.

There are some who will say he played for 20 years, has only 54 INTs and went to the pro-bowl just 7 times.

He does have some "trademark" plays:
Chasing down Dorsett.
Punt return hurdle for TD in the playoffs.

and let's not forget the play he made on the ball to knock it away against Chris Carter of the Vikings in the 85/86 Championship game.
Dallas Sucks.

Green is very open and expressive unlike Monk.

Plus people hear about Green because of his charity too.

SmootSmack · 01-19-2007, 06:40 PM

He should make it first ballot. He was a phenomenal player. Plus people argue that as the years go by Monk's numbers look less impressive (I don't agree but whatever) I don't think you can make the argument that as the years go by Green's career looks less impressive.

Its too bad he was the face of the skins when they sucked...I wish he could have finished his career on a high note.

yeah, I meant like the playoffs, or a trip to the superbowl...I'm just glad he didn't pull a deon and try to finish his career elsewhere...Darrell was class all the way

He was the original shutdown corner before Deion. He has plenty of memorable moments like someone already mentioned. Plus his world famous speed is a big part of his legacy. I'd really, really be shocked if he didn't get in first ballot.

its ashame we even have to wonder. he should get in right away
