Jigga Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I hate when people who don't play or haven't played pro or even major college football start on that punters/kickers "aren't real football players" bull:censored:. Simply, if they have a position, they should have a place in the Hall of Fame.If they aren't real football players, then what the hell are they doing on the field? Playing tiddlywinks?

The Nation Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 As for Ray Guy please please please don't ever put a Punter in the Hall of Fame, it will be a joke and a travishammockery.Then whats the point of having punters? Are they not football players too? When you look at it (not trying to take anything away from Tagliabue) Ray Guy, sure he's a punter, but without punters, you cant win the field position battle, and a punter is an actual FOOTBALL PLAYER, as opposed to the commissioner, who is just the CEO of the business.Seriously I hate it when people dont give the kicker/punter any respect, without a good punter, the opposing team would be starting from the opponents 45 all the time.Seriously tank, you should think about what you said.

EagleFan344 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Punters are very important. Just look at what happens when you pin a team within their five yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Im sorry I dont buy Punters for the Hall, and nobody else does either or Guy would have been in a long time ago and so would Reggie Roby. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 And both should be in. What I want to know is: where's the Andre Tippett love?

fiasco! Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 and don't forget that Ray Guy pretty much revolutionized the position, basically inventing the term "hang time" when put in a football context. other teams knew that they had virtually no chance of any type of return when Guy was punting.oh yeah, my votes would be for:ray guypaul tagliabueart monkderrick thomasrichard dentmichael irvin LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling84 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I don't believe Irvin is HOF material.Certainly shouldn't be in unless and until Monk is.And probably (IMO) shouldn't be at all. The Official Cheese-Filled Snack of NASCAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
