Is Derrick Mason a lock for the Hall of fame?

[Chi_archie]

guy's stats are very similar to Hines Ward's....


fish tells me that Hines is a lock.... i'm wondering about Derrick now

[Chi_archie]

[Chi_archie]

torrie holt?

how about Keenan McCardell?

No way..

Fish is wrong about Hines...

And the only way Derrick is getting into the HOF is buying a ticket.

Sometimes it's not all about stats. Cornerbacks get into the HOF by not doing shit and shadowing wide receivers. They get in with zero stats and get recognized for the lack of balls thrown their way. Don't even want to get into the Offensive Lineman.

Fishead was pointing out that the Steelers have a deep history and Ward owns all the records in regards to their receivers. You can also add that the Steelers have been a pretty darn good team since Ward has been on it.

If you watch the way the Steelers play football, they do it their way and they have been doing it for decades. Ward has always been one of the best footplayer players on the field for every one of those games he played in. Bottom line. Beat Writers will tell you this. Canton isn't going to keep the doors shut for a player like this.

Line up Randy Moss and Hines Ward. I'm taking Ward all day. This guy will hit you in the fukkin mouth and walk away with the chip.

The reason, I think, is except for the time Holt was part of the Greatest Show on Turf, none of these guys was on one of the "it" teams that got a ton of media coverage, on MNF a lot, etc like Hines has benefited from being on the Steelers...

HUH????


HINES has 78 TD's in his carreer, MASON has a mere 59........

HINES has won two superbowls and is a former SUPERBOWL MVP ........

HINES is one of the best blocking WR's to ever play the game.......

HINES has more career catches, 895-863...........

HINES is the ALL-TIME leading Steeler in RECEPTIONS, TD'S, and YARDS, one of the most storied franchises in the entire league.

HINES is a four-time pro bowler, MASON has made the squad twice.......




Mason has a shot to make the HOF............but HINES WARD is a surefire HALL OF FAMER.
