Sapp could start glut of Bucs in Hall

[lyronmewis]

Nowhere outside of Tampa will you hear someone say that Alstott has a chance to be a Hall of Famer.

He doesn't have the stats or dominance, and didn't have the blocking ability either.

He was nothing more than a fan favourite who was exciting to watch. He was an anachronism, but if you compare him to the FB of the past who used to get more carries, he doesn't stand up very well against them.

The last FB to be inducted to the HOF was Larry Csonka, who retired in 1979. If a modern FB does get in, it will be Lorenzo Neal because of his elite blocking for many years.

Take a look at the preliminary list of 127 players for this current group of hall of famers.

The FB position isn't even listed.

Keyshawn Johnson is even on that list, and he's far from a hall of famer.

Lynch, no
Alstott, never

Dungy, who cares
Gruden, no

I'll eat my hat if Ronde's a first-ballot selection.  Would you really put him on the level of Deion, Lott, Rod Woodson, Willie Brown, and Blount?  Because I doubt the Hall of Fame voters -- or anyone outside of Tampa -- would.

Agree. I think Barber will get in but he will have to wait a few years.

I feel very strongly that you won't have to eat your hat. In other words, it ain't happening! Ronde may eventually get in...but not on day 1.

Lynch.....no never?    Or not first ballot?

I think he has a good shot. 9 Pro Bowls.  15 year career.  And as Warren would say.....media darlin.

I'm afraid I will be greatly disappointed if a glut of Buccaneers enter the HoF.

At least you're being honest.
