Not that I agree with that, but I can easily see that keeping him from the Hall.

You know, I actually think it could be Urlacher who keeps him out. I could see him getting in as the second best MLB of his era, but being viewed as the 3rd would be a big problem (Willis is a lot younger, so I think he's kind of a different era player).

The fact that he is still a free agent shows the reason he will not make the HOF.

I just hope he makes it back to the Skins. IMO he is one of the best in the NFL and he could play on any team the Skins have ever had.

Fletch is a very good player. But he's not a great player. Not HOF material IMO.

he has the same numbers as Ray Lewis just w/o the accessory to murder arrest.

This.

He should absolutely make the HOF

1) Numbers very similar to Ray Lewis
2) Won a Superbowl
3) Known as one of the best leaders and locker room guys in the NFL today
4) The story of an un drafted guy from a small college who's "too small" to play in the NFL, which leads to...
4) And the biggest reason is his consecutive games played streak. Playing in 224 games in a row at MLB is absolutely incredible.

Not to take anything from Ray Lewis, but I think Fletch has never had the same defensive supporting cast that Ray always had in Baltimore. Yet Fletch has managed to have comparable stats.

It'll be quite a few years before he makes it, if he ever does. I'll probably be 50 years old by then if he makes it. lol

firstdown · 03-21-2012, 04:53 PM

If he makes it I will probably be over 50 myself.

He's played in 3 Pro Bowls now.

No, just you were wrong. Matty is right.

Has been named a Pro Bowl Alternate eleven times. He made his first Pro Bowl after the 2009 season via replacing Jonathan Vilma, due to prepping for the Super Bowl.

Also played in 2010 and 2011.

The source quoted says 2009 & 2010. It does not say 2011. I have to be honest, I so didn't pay any attention at all to the 2011 pro bowl, so I have no personal knowledge.

I do see a conflict though. Wiki says he was also on the 2011 team as an alternate.

sure why not. hes been dominant his whole career he just never had the most talent around him... like a ray lewis. i say Fletch for HOF his career consistency and league leading efforts year after year make him AT LEAST on the ballot.
