Packers fatigue

Post by PFHOFlover »

I think I know why Lavvie Dilweg Verne Lewellen and Cecil Isbell weren’t elected the first years of the Hall of Fame it’s likely voters were suffering from Packers fatigue

Robert, I get a feeling former Packer Sharpe gets in this year. The older players will keep waiting.

early HOF were pretty much Packers, though other(s) maybe had a year

Curly Lambeau, Johnny McNally, Don Hutson, Clarke Hinkle, Link Lyman, Mike Michalske, Arnie Herber

With Lewellen on preliminary list '63-70, Dilweg every year except '67 and '68.
Cub Buck '63-65, Canadeo usually there, finally got in Class of '74, Bobby Dillon '64-65, Earpe 63-70

so, not only perhaps Packers fatigue, also a lot of guys getting nominated ... so no one getting enough
to get to finals ... or however they did it pre-1969 -- though some form of a narrowed list in 1967

This comment was very underrated. It deserves more respect.

Only guessing, but yes, I think he will be one of the three.

Depends on if they go all three on the offensive side or do say they go 2 Offense and 1 defense or what they did this past election which was 2 defensive players and 1 offensive

One other thing to consider is does the committee advance a player or two from out of nowhere to the final 12 I have an idea on the players I won't say who they are just yet
