1st Ballot HOF?



Tim Brown officially retired today as an Oakland Raider ending his remarkable 17-year NFL career. With exactly a 100 receiving touchdowns, just shy of 15,000 yards receiving, and a Heisman Trophy for Notre Dame in 1987, how could they exclude Brown from the HOF. This post...is he a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee?

Your thoughts on this question as well as about the career of Tim Brown.

AS much as I'm a Raider Hater, it's hard not to see Brown going as a first ballot inductee. His receiving stats speak for itself...no Jerry Rice type stats but who else has those kind of receiving marks.

Too bad he played for a team that wasn't much of a passing threat until later in his career. Even then, 3 pretty good wide-outs limited his receptions. In 17 seasons, Brown only had ONE 100+ reception season and only twice had double-digit touchdown receptions in a single year. But his durability and play-making skills will land him a first ballot HOF spot.

But the question is 1st Ballot HOF inductee NN? Was his career that worthy of a 1st ballot

No argument, just your thoughts on Browns career and whether or not he should be a 1st ballot.

And I agree with that last statement, I would love to stick toothpicks underneath each fingernail, then stick his hands in jalepeno juice

I think it would have been cool to see Jerry Rice and Tim Brown retire together...think of that HOF Induction ceremony!
