Jerome Bettis in HOF

[HawKnPeppa]

Did you know he's from Detroit, and has a ***SBXL*** ring? He and Rothlisberger were stellar in that game.

 

[dontbelikethat]

I understand he has the bulk numbers and he's a great player, and definitely don't have a problem with him being in the HOF one day, but him getting in over Pace & Harrison today....something isn't right with that.

Wait, what? Jerome Bettis is from Detroit? And he played in the Super Bowl there? Why didn't the media mention this during the two weeks leading up to XL?

Seriously, this pretty much mirrors my thoughts on the matter. Regarding RB's from his era, too bad Terrell Davis's career was cut short, but Ladanian Thomlinson is clearly better than Bettis, IMO.

I've heard people saying they think Roethlisberger is a future hall of famer. Leaving aside my hatred for him particularly, there's nothing he's done in the league that's so special he deserves that consideration.

So, you're telling me that a guy who never lead the league in rushing, never lead the league in rushing touchdowns, never lead the league in yards per attempt, and only had more than 4 yards a carry four time in his thirteen year career is a Hall Of Famer? The man had double digit touchdowns twice in his career. TWICE! In thirteen years. The only reason he got his second one, was the Steelers got him a ton of carries inside the two yard line. Today, the Hall Of Fame for the NFL no longer matters. Hey, this guy was better than mediocre for thirteen years, let's put him in the Hall. Stupid.

I hate that he goes into the HoF the night before our SB.

Please tell me it's not foreshadowing. ukeface: I've been nervous about how the officials are going to call this game all week.

It's not foreshadowing. We are the 12th team to make it back to the Superbowl the next year after appearing. With another 12, it foreshadows another win!

But he's cute and cuddly and media friendly. That matters way more than what happens on the field........ To the asshat media clowns that control who goes and who doesn't.

LT won't be eligible for a couple years

 

[hawknation2015]

It's well deserved.

Jerome "The Bus" Bettis: 674 yards (3.4 yards/carry) and 9 TDs in 14 playoff games.

Marshawn "BEAST MODE" Lynch: 815 yards (5.0 yards/carry) and 8 TDs in 9 playoff games.

 

[Crizilla]

If he played for the Jaguars or some random team he wouldnt be in

also, this better mean Lynch will get into the HOF

This about sums it up:

He does NOT belong to be in the HOF. He was NEVER the best RB in any year and was NEVER spectacular in any season. I don't get how he got enough votes.. I take that back, shittsburg stealer...that's the ONLY reason.

 

[Osprey]

Looks like the year of the compiler, Tim Brown made it too.

[Sports Hernia]

The standards for making the HOF just dropped bigtime because Bettis made it in.
The Rooneys still have a lot of power in this league, they got the commish (tagliabooboo) and his henchmen in stripes to hand them a Lombardi on a silver platter in XL*, and then they "worked" the idiot HOF voters to get their guy in....

The Rooney's, Kraft, and Jerruh Jones, all have huge power in this league, another thing they all have in common is they are all scum.

What's next? Heinz Ward?
