NFL: Why isn't this guy in the Hall of Fame – I

This is a good argument for the greatest punter in NFL to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

This is a series based on the question posed above, players that are worthy of induction into the Hall of Fame but for some reason have not been.

Ray Guy – Punter #8 Oakland / Los Angeles Raiders 1973 – 1986



Some my say he is a punter and shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame because punters are insignificant and don't have a real impact on a game. I wouldn't agree with that statement and state that his career statistics prove that statement incorrect.

anyone who plays football and plays it well should be considered! as for the fact that he's just a "punter" is of no consequence. excellent write up IK

indeed and i agree!!!!!

Thanks

There are usually a few guys that should already be in the Hall. But every year the voting usually comes down to "shoo in's" and one or two candidates from years past (that should have already been included). My question is: Why is the guy with the most Superbowl rings NOT in the HOF?? Maybe this year Charles Haley will be inducted.

way to bring it to the yard IK, some valid points all around and you're right, his stats do prove them wrong.

Thanks man

Hall of fame is not only stats, its a popularity contest.

sure is, deserteaglefan sure is.

A true statement
