Will Terrell make it into the HOF - The Orange Mane

scfan · 10-28-2006, 06:11 AM

I for one think not. The knock on his entry is his short carreer. The posative is his SB MVP, and his 2003 yards in one season. I would love to see it happen tho as he is/was one of my favorite Broncos. I know there are a dozen more broncos that belong in there well ahead of him But man it would be great if he made it. I missed going to Canton when John went in, due to health problems. So, i'd love another chance to see a favorite get in.

SoDak Bronco · 10-28-2006, 06:33 AM

yes. yes. yes. TD is one of the main reasons Denver was dominate and won back to back Superbowls. Although I don't expect any love from the east coast biased media, he deserves every vote he gets.

bendog · 10-28-2006, 06:55 AM

B-Love says this is Grads last realistic chance to get in.

spdirty · 10-28-2006, 06:55 AM

How come the 7th leading rusher of all time isn't even on that list?

And I doubt he gets in, and its a damn shame. Floyd Little too.

Florida_Bronco · 10-28-2006, 07:17 AM

TD will get in. His broadcasting career keeps him in the limelight and endears him to the east coast media.

Barry Ramey · 10-28-2006, 07:44 AM

I don't think he will just because he didn't play long enough to put up the numbers to make a better case.

Archie · 10-28-2006, 07:54 AM

Tough call.... I used to say no way he got in. Now I'm not so sure. There may be enough love to put him into the hall in a couple of years but he still has to be considered a long shot. Zimmerman should make the list this year.

I think Zimmerman could make it this year.

ludo21 · 10-28-2006, 08:10 AM

Zimmerman, Gradisher and Little shold get it, as well as TD

freak6 · 10-28-2006, 08:25 AM

Wasn't it 2008 yards?

Yep. It was. Anyway, if Sayers is in, TD should be too.

Rohirrim · 10-28-2006, 08:31 AM

I see no reason why TD and Randy shouldn't both be selected this time out. You'd think that just out of shame the friggin voters would realize there should be more than one friggin Bronco in the HOF.

Los Broncos · 10-28-2006, 08:35 AM

He was going to play for Long Beach State but they cancelled the program and he went to GA, he gets in i think, TD was awesome.

Gcver2ver3 · 10-28-2006, 08:36 AM

He may get in....

His chance may be improved because the class he's up against aren't as impressive as other years....plus he's part of the media now and it doesn't hurt that he's broadcasting for the NFL NETWORK....that was a savvy political move by him for HOF consideration whether it was intended or not.....

If he does get in, it'll be because of the above mentioned and of course the "Gale Sayers" factor....

DeuceOfClub · 10-28-2006, 08:37 AM

A bronco? In the Hall of Fame?

Have you gone mad?

ScottXray · 10-28-2006, 11:11 AM

all current nominees...
Atwater, Steve
Davis, Terrell
Gradishar, Randy
Little, Floyd
Mecklenburg, Karl
Wright, Louis
Zimmerman, Gary

Should have been but never will:
Turner, Jim
Jackson, Rich ...Torn achilles Injury ended it but a sack machine.
Upchurch, Rick Punt returner....caught Elways first pass.

Definitely will be:

Sharpe, Shannon

Other than Zimm (and maybe Jackson) every one played their entire career in Denver....
Any team on either coast and they'd already have been in.

Shame!

Who gets in First Terrell Davis or Jerome Bettis?

Meck77 · 10-28-2006, 04:00 PM

My guess would be no but I sure would love a reason to get back to Canton!

Its going to be tough to watch Bettis and Curtis Martin enshrined if TD doesn't make it.

Atwater His Ass · 10-28-2006, 04:14 PM

TD's post-season alone should be enough to get him in. But who knows how the "experts" will vote.

Martin and Bettis I just dont' understand. They never really did anything special. They had long, productive careers, but I would never at any time during their career call either of them the best back in the league. The Hall of Fame is for the very best players by what they did on the field, not very good players that endured themselves to fans.

OrangeShadow · 10-28-2006, 04:18 PM

i dont think he will make it, i really think he should but i just dont see it
