#84 enough for writers across the country to vote him in?Awards Pro Football Hall of Fame 1st team All-2000s Team 2011 NFL Top 100 (#84) -
Anyone who had played five years ago would now be a candidate for the Hall of Fame. That doesn’t mean they’re gonna come close to getting in. I fully expect him to be ignored by the HOF voters . Who in history has ever made the Hall of Fame purely as a kick returner

Not only that, he was a good K/P returner, but not one of the best ever. No way he even sniffs the HOF.

I will NEVER forget that frigid Thursday night when he single handedly beat the Steelers.
That puts him in MY HOF.
And the there's Hue Jackson. In OT against the Steelers...1st and goal from the 1 yard line...and he calls a WR bubble screen pass....and we lose. He's damned to the Hall Of Shame for eternity!

Loved Cribbs, but agree he has no chance at the HOF......
I think that a HOFer should at least be considered a full time player and starter....exceptions, maybe, being kickers......But Id be agreeable to creating a HOF category that includes specialists(elect 1 per years)....kickers, punters, returners, 3rd down backs, gunners, etc.....

Dude, quit posting your pictures.
I think he wants you to "FLUFF" it for him lol

I've always been more partial to Eric Metcalf who could do it all and had 12 total punt/KO returns for TDs.

Considering how often you seem to be coming to DieHard's rescue lately, I think he'd have to get in line behind you.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course.
-
I would put his chances of getting in...ever....at 5% on this vote I'm gonna say 0%
-
My first take was I'd agree... except have you looked at this year's nominees?

I’m with you. Besides I think Metcalf should be considered before Josh. Josh was awesome but Metcalf did more as a runner and receiver.

Many seem to forget that Cribbs was pretty damn good on coverage too and made many tackles. Hell, his jersey is already there.

Close maybe but I would give the edge to Metcalf......but enjoyed watching them both. Steve Tasker is still my #1 on the most deserving ST list.
