The Most Random NFL Thought I've Had in Years

5
Vote

by Ea34

I had a completely random, out-of-left-field thought this morning. Now, I’m neither a Carolina Panthers fan nor a member of the Kasay family, but I think John Kasay deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. John Kasay? Hall of Fame? True, he’s a kicker. True, he’s not Adam Vinatieri. But he has been an excellent kicker, making 81% of his field goals during his 16-year career, is the all-time leading scorer in Panthers’ history (1,064 points, 836 points ahead of Steve Smith, his nearest active competition), has kicked in a Super Bowl, two NFC Championship Games and is the lone remaining member of the original Panthers’ team from 1995.

AMEN!!! I am a Panthers fan, and he is the only original panther left. He has won many games for us over the past 12 years (since 1995). He is a great leader in the community, no problems off the field. He's a fine Christian man and he does deserve the hall of fame.

Fantasy Football Hall of Fame, right?

Love the enthusiasm, but we have a LONG way to go until we get to debating the Hall Worthiness of the John Kasay types. Dude, Ray Freekin Guy isn't in the Hall and he is the best punter ever (<sarcasm> behind only Randall Cunningham)!!!

The Baseball Hall of Fame has been around almost as long as the NFL. They've worn out the door from letting to many people in. The Football HoF is STRINGENT - there's dozens of Hall of Famers that are waiting, waiting, waiting and more coming!

You make a really good point. For all the jokes made about them not being "real football players", punters and kickers play an immense role in deciding so many NFL games, maybe it's time the Hall opened its doors to them as well!

There is one kicker in the Hall of Fame - Jan Stenerud (unless you count George Blanda, then there's two)

Morten Andersen has a legitimate shot, Gary Anderson has a legitimate argument... but there's STILL a ton of position players with tremendous careers on the outside looking in!

Here's a novel idea! Take the kicking out of the game. Imagine how much more interesting and fun football would be without punters and kickers! Punting is un-American!!!

Vinatieri is also in there. He made, in my mind, the greatest kick in the history of the league, won Super Bowls. He has accomplished everything a kicker can accomplish and more. He has FOUR RINGS!

I'm a Panther fan, but I don't think he deserves to be in the HoF. Although, he has been a great player of this team, a very loyal player who never seemed to get into trouble. His number will be retired once he decides to call it quits. Maybe he could be a canidate, but I doubt he'd ever make it.
