Just a few of my opinions on the Contributors candidates. https://www.football-learning-academy.com/pages/blog?p=2027-pro-football-hall-of-fame-contributor-finalists exactly "Well, members of the selection committee should know who he is because they are the stewards of the Hall of Fame"

In that next group I've had O.J. Simpson, Earl Campbell (in his prime few were better, could the same be said of Gale Sayers?), and Eric Dickerson. I always thought that Marcus Allen was greatly underrated as he could block, throw, and was money near the goal line. Of you "next group" few...

I will note that Upchurch had a truly baffling All-Decade selection: 2nd team 1980s kick returner with ZERO kick returns in the 1980s. How did that happen? It's very close, and I want them both. But I would take Upchurch first. came down to voters in 1990 -- not being very conscientious. It was whe...

I'm amazed that he hasn't been voted into the PFHOF. On a side note: In 1985 NFL Properties publis...

It's funny: I always thought of these designations about how they play. Strong = hitter. Free = rover. I did not think of it based on the tight end position, even though that's how we label the Sam and the Will. It's definitely the same as Sam and Will, that is if it's a true Sam and Will, sometime...

Seems to me that Billy 'White Shoes' Johnson gets for support in media/social media, at least that I see, It also seems clear to me that their 'paper cases' are to close to only be called as a tie. Johnson for Pro Football Hall of Fame 2nd team All-1970s Team Pro Football Hall of Fame 1st team All-1...

free/strong safety is interesting as well. That is a term for both where one lines up or what he does and then the name in the program ... SS or FS. It is hard to find for sure who did what. Larry Wilson, I do think, was called a free safety before he was a free safety. But would have to check. He w...
