Current Broncos headed for the Hall... - The Orange Mane

HorseHead · 05-30-2007, 03:58 PM

Alright, discuss....

Current Broncos you think will make it to the Hall of Fame:

Champ Bailey- shoe in

Rod Smith- what do you think? For me personally? No doubt....

Jason Elam- you have to admit, he might have a shot....

Crushaholic · 05-30-2007, 04:05 PM

This the Denver Broncos you are discussing. The Hall of Fame will continue to ignore worthy candidates who have played in the Mile High city. The optimist in me hopes Champ will get the nod, but I can't be too sure...

RhymesayersDU · 05-30-2007, 04:08 PM

I wonder if playing in thin air takes away from Elam... But still, 61 yards is 61 yards.

DenverDuo · 05-30-2007, 04:08 PM

All right, I'll be the one to say it:

Jay Cutler

Bronco_Beerslug · 05-30-2007, 04:12 PM

So far, only Champ Bailey if he plays a few more years at the same level.

Stormontheplains · 05-30-2007, 04:14 PM

Tom Nalen

Bronco LB 59 · 05-30-2007, 04:16 PM

Better than 50% chance Champ Bailey, Mike Shanahan

25-50% chance John Lynch, Tom Nalen

Long shots Rod Smith, Jason Elam

DBroncos4life · 05-30-2007, 04:19 PM

with how players are acting now days, (Vick, Portis, Henry, etc..) Rod Smith will be in the HOF. Even without that I still think he goes to the HOF.

Arkansas Bronco · 05-30-2007, 04:20 PM

Its amazing no one has brought up Hixon yet.

Garcia Bronco · 05-30-2007, 04:21 PM

Hixon...put it on the board....Championship

HorseHead · 05-30-2007, 04:42 PM

shame on me for forgetting Tom Nalen....

Garcia Bronco · 05-30-2007, 04:48 PM

I don't care if another Bronco makes the hall. It's a joke anyway. The Ring of Fame is the only one that matters to me.

cutthemdown · 05-30-2007, 05:03 PM

elam wont make it in. The football he kicked 61 yrds is though probably. Rod Smith is an all time great player but won't make HOF. I'd say Champ will make it and maybe even Lynch. Nalen I guess would be a longshot but he's a possibilty.

Stormontheplains · 05-30-2007, 05:04 PM

Dennis Smith and Steve Atwater better be in before Lynch.

Jason in LA · 05-30-2007, 05:17 PM

Rod Smith won't make it, unless he can get healthy and put up a few 1,000 seasons. Stats wise there are a number of players ahead of him that haven't gotten it yet. Rod would have to climb way up the charts to get in.

Now, if Rod had been a starter since his early 20s, he probably would have the numbers. But If I'm remembering right, he didn't become a starter until he was 25.

Beantown Bronco · 05-30-2007, 05:19 PM

I don't know what scares me more.....HOF consideration for a kicker....or the fact that two Maners don't even know that the famous Elam kick that tied the record was for 63 yards and not 61 yards...

Play2win · 05-30-2007, 05:23 PM

Javon Walker.

Beantown Bronco · 05-30-2007, 05:25 PM

Agreed with Jason on Rod Smith....long shot at best....he'd have to have at least two more ridiculous seasons like he did in 2000-2001 to be in the running IMO. He is just statistically too far behind guys like Art Monk, who aren't in there....

SoDak Bronco · 05-30-2007, 05:59 PM

you beat me to it..63 yards against the JAGS.

KipCorrington25 · 05-30-2007, 06:09 PM

65 yards - Ola Kimrin, preseason. Denver Broncos (W 31-0) vs. Seattle Seahawks, 8/25/2002. He was released after the game.

Nailed it.

Retired Broncos:
Sharpe 100%
Zimmerman 50%
Little 5%
Gradishar 5%
Atwater 5%

Los Broncos · 05-30-2007, 07:21 PM

I think Champ gets in with no trouble. Rod and Elam prolly not, the Denver curse will haunt them.

That sadly seems about right. Zimmerman made two all-decade teams and now the committee is treating him like he made the pro-bowl once and is lucky to make the final 25. Gradishar and Little should be in. However I need to let go of it all and recognize that as long as east-coast media yahoo's are the ones in charge, the hall will continue to be crammed with a bunch of Giants, Cowboys and a few other team's players sprinkled east of the Mississippi.

Not a chance in Hell.

Unless he melts down completely, Champ's in. So's Shanahan. Lynch has got a pretty good chance. Nalen and Rod are long shots.
