Troy Polomalu retires from NFL... HOF?

[Chi_archie]

Sad to see him go, but game had passed him by

i do think he gets into Canton

[No coincidences]

Absolutely.

[STAX]

without a doubt, only question is first ballot or not

[Louisvillekid1]

Top 5?

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

The game pass him the last few years. Just getting what he can of his contract. Hall of Fame for sure.

[opie1988]

No doubt.

His perfectly timed leap sacks are iconic images.

He was great.

[The Giant]

Overrated.

Just a glorified long-haired sissy.

[lakerboy]

Product of lebeaus front 7 based d.

[TheMoneyShot]

Sad to see him go. Sucks getting old...

[Ra77er]

Good run Troy, I look forward to your concussion suit in the years coming

[blanda]

The Flacco pick 6 in the AFC title game in '08 still gives me goosebumps...

[will2survive]

Silly to even question it. He's a guaranteed hall of famer.

[Ted Sheckler]

For sure, one of my favorite players to watch on Defense in the past 10 years, right up there with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.

[pavyracer]

He was more famous for his hair than his play. Still doing shampoo commercials?

[Holtgetsback]

Guy was a gimmick and a dirty player

He doesn't get my HOF vote

[rm18]

Yes if he did not win any Superbowls he probably would not be a HOF, but with 2 he definitiely is.

[jjgold]

Not bad but his look got him more attention than he deserved

🚬everything he did was glorified because of the crazy look

[Vinnie Paz]

Yes if he did not win any Superbowls he probably would not be a HOF, but with 2 he definitiely is.

Hmm I think this only really matters with qbs though ?

[recon1]

HOF 100% lock. Great player and even better man.

[d2bets]

He can let his hair grow out now.

COMMON the 70's Steelers teams have like half their roster in the HOF

[Sacamano]

One of the greatest Safeties ever, who played every down like it was his last one.

im saying I don't think having Super Bowls matter for defensive players. That's a qb thing

[Sacamano]

im saying I don't think having Super Bowls matter for defensive players. That's a qb thing

winning a Super Bowl isn't just a QB thing bro, this is what these guys live for

[Vinnie Paz]

MAN. You're not understanding. We're talking about getting into the hall of fame. He said without the Super Bowls, Troy wouldn't get in. I am saying the opposite, SBs don't matter for HOF consideration for defensive players.

[rm18]

Swann and Stallworth in the Hall of fame. Ricky Proehl probably has more catches than both of them combined

[daneblazer]

Lock for Canton

[nanderson1134]

Id say he gets in for sure

[sweethook]

COMMON the 70's Steelers teams have like half their roster in the HOF

has a team. offensively and defense was the best team ever

[seaborneq]

Overrated.

Just a glorified long-haired sissy.

I think I'm with you. I didn't think he was that good at USC. But he does coincide with usc's big turn around along with Carson Palmer.

[BennyBigNuts]

One of the greatest Safeties ever, who played every down like it was his last one.

Yep

Pretty sure this was an attention thread by Archie, because he knows he's basically a first ballot lock

[jjgold]

Hall of Fame so watered down now in all sports

really no big deal,,he is not one period

[MadTiger]

He can let his hair grow out now.

I would give you all my points if I could. That was some sublime wit right there.

I have to agree. I look at some of the lists and go "at which year did the watering down start?"

In music and in sports, the first couple years are easy. Then, for what ever reason, they start adding in people who aren't elite. Hall of Fame is for ELITE, the cream, not just for "very good."
