Morten Anderson not included in Hall of Fame

Hell, Guy last played in 86 and just now finally made it. Right or wrong, as a kicker or punter, it takes time. You realistically just have to expect it, period. He'll get in, not as quick as we'd like, but I'm sure he'll get in, and probably not soon enough. The HOF is weird, those you'd think would, aren't in or takes a long time, and then there's always some that do make it,,,, that you'd think shouldn't.

bobdog, Morten Andersen is the All-Time Scorer for the NFL...

...the NFL's All-Time Leading Scorer...

And he wasn't just any kicker, he was hitting scores from 50+ yards regularly...

Paired with that incredible defense, he brought the Saints out of purgatory to respectability...

If we'd had a Sean Payton caliber coach then, I have no doubt we'd seen 65+ yard scores as well...

Ask NFL alum "of all eras, if you can pick one kicker to kick a fifty yard field goal attempt to win a game for your team, who would it be?"

Morten Andersen is a Hall of Famer, even if he screwed the fan base by going to Atlanta when trying to stick it to Benson & Co. for stupidly letting him geaux...

No arguments from me my brutha, I totally agree, just stating what I've noticed from the HOF process. I believe he should have been a first ballot no-brainer, but it doesn't surprise me that he's not…with the history of the Hall.
