    Ohio could join the light green states (allowing both medical and recreational use) in November election. How are you gonna vote?

    Are you're predicting a coming out flavored induction speech?

    This is where we talk shit about a very good player because he's a steeler (or just not a brown... Or just not a good brown...), right?

    No, Polamalu was a good player.....but I just don't think he was as great as he was made out to be. I always thought that he got more credit than he deserved because he was flying all over the place uncontrollably with his stupid hairwafting in the wind. That allowed him to make some great plays...but as often I think his flailing had him out of position.

    Sometimes he was caught out of position yes, but I didn't see it too often. So do you not think he will be a FBHOFer? Or do you think he will be, just undeserving.

    Maybe both?

    No, I think he will probably be deserving.....but I just think to a certain extent he was overrated. (He would be more marginal in my mind than most people think) Because of his "flash" the media types loved him.

    That is true.

  • He made impact plays during crucial moments.

    This is what makes good players people. Making an interception or sack during scrap time in not impressive. Making plays when the game is on the line is what it's all about.

    Impact players go to the HOF and play in Super Bowls. Leaving the game with dignity.

    Yes, he did some....at other times he was out of position in crucial moments.

    Give us some examples where that happened in the playoffs with TP.

    I don't think I meant to imply that he was not an impact player....just that he was somewhat overrated by the media. But he deserves his accolades.

    And yes, kudos to him for leaving with his dignity before it got embarassing for him.

  • Best I ever saw at SS, possible exception of Ronnie Lott, but should have retired two years ago. The kind of player you love for his toughness if he is on your team, hate him as a thug if he is on the opposing team.

    I actually stood near him once, and I could not believe how much smaller he is than I would have thought. About 5'8".

    Different era, different rules.Tatum was certainly a hard hitter, and a much bigger man than Polamalu. Anyway, if Tatum had just tackled Frenchy Fuqua instead of show boating for the highlight reel, the clock would have run out and the immaculate reception would not have occurred. He cost his team a playoff game.

  • First ballot hall of famer and one of the best off the field players in the entire league. I'm not sure how anyone can call the guy a thug. He played hard, off the field he was very humble and soft spoken. One of the best to play the position, freak athlete, very cerebral and all the people talking about him being out of position conveniently ignore all the times he made plays any normal human being could only dream of making. Ask any qb in the league. Polamalu in his prime may have been the most feared player on the field barring none. People here are being respectful, those that aren't need to grow up.

    Edit: Gipper put the night cap down. You are taking nonsense again. Overrated? Hilarious.
