MDZip Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Now that the current HOF class has been announced they're going to start winnowing the list for the class of 2017, This happens to be the first year of eligibility for Jason Taylor along with some other notable players. The only new ones I see as being ahead of Taylor are LaDanian Tomlinson and Hines Ward. Of course there are plenty of currently eligible players as well, so I don't necessarily see him getting in on the first attempt but I'll bet it's no longer than three.

blueandgold Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'm 100% sure he will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I agree, he may not be a first ballot Hall of Famer, but he will definitely be in there soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Last year should have been a good indication of his chances. Strahan was just inducted, and he's one spot ahead of Jason on the All-Time Sack list. Jason is #6 all time, and there's even plenty of guys behind him who have already been inducted. Just one stat, but I think it's important enough that he's sure to get in at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottditzen Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Seems ridiculous to read that LaDainian was only at 4 pro bowls.

MDZip Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 The full list of the 15 finalists against whom Taylor will compete. I think Tomlinson is a shoe-in but I'm encouraged that I don't see any others who would be an absolute favorite over Taylor. LaDainian Tomlinson Jason Taylor Brian Dawkins Morten Andersen Tony Boselli Isaac Bruce Don Coryell Terrell Davis Alan Faneca Joe Jacoby Ty Law John Lynch Kevin Mawae Terrell Owens Kurt Warner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I'd label TO as a shoe in. He's #2 in career receiving yards and 3rd in receiving TDs Edited January 5, 2017 by kreed5120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's # in career receiving yards and 3rd in receiving TDs I also think there were some politics involved in him not getting in last year. I think the committee wanted Marvin Harrison and Tony Dungy to go in at the same time. Other than TO and LT, I think Jason Taylor is the only other player that stands out on that list. Then again, I do have my "blue-and-gold" colored glasses on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I do have my "blue-and-gold" colored glasses on... HoF voting in both football and baseball is flawed. Griffey should have been an unanimous selection in baseball, but wasn't because a handful of dudes think nobody should be since Cobb and Ruth weren't 50+ years ago. Not to mention they are holding out the best pitcher and hitter of my childhood (Bonds and Clemens). TO should already be in the HoF, but some 60 year old dudes took offense to him signing signing a football with a sharpie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Ever since Taylor was first discussed, I looked at how high he stands among the all-time sack leaders, and everyone around him is already in the Hall of Fame. I hope it happens this year, but it should happen very soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-zip Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I just did a google, YouTube, etc search for Jason Taylor UA highlights. I couldn't find any. It would be really smart to get some out there real quick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be really smart to get some out there real quick. To add...I wonder what (if any) relationship the program has with him and how said relationship is leveraged. I would imagine walking into a South FL recruit's home with an NFL Hall of Famer from Akron and Miami Dolphin legend is a quick way to get their attention. Then again...kids graduating high school now probably don't remember seeing him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
