Sproles Says He Deserves to be in the HOF
Mighty interesting self-assessment... |
Re: Sproles Says He Deserves to be in the HOF
Today's voters don't care, but old school voters like a little humility in HOF candidates...
As much as I loved him as a Saint, and those incredible seasons of all-purpose yards he had, his elite production was limited to just a couple of seasons... If I had a vote, it'd hurt, but I just couldn't give him a vote, despite the lowered bar for many inductees lately; Sproles had a HOF Heart, not a HOF career... |
Re: Sproles Says He Deserves to be in the HOF
Likely not. Michael Lewis is 3rd on single season APR and about 50 yds behind him. At first glance I said yes off that one stat but Lewis is right behind him and he will never smell the Hall of Fame.
Good career but his body of work over a long career is not that impressive. A good scatback with really one stellar season on an offensive juggernaunt team and less to do with pure skill. |

I don't see it.

Re: Sproles Says He Deserves to be in the HOF
No way is he a HoFer but I’ve said that about a few that’s gotten in over the last few years so who know

Re: Sproles Says He Deserves to be in the HOF
I'm voting yes. He played well before he come to the Saints, we got him just before he started to decline and Philly used him well after that, I think he squeezes in.

May be tough to get into Canton, but Saints team HOF yes no problem.

Well is not great. HOF is for greatness. Very good scatback. If the NFL didn't have rules on entering the NFL Michael Lewis would be in the HOF. He was that good. Better that Sproles. He was doing what Sproles was doing at the age of 30 and played well after that age. |
Re: Sproles Says He Deserves to be in the HOF
Well, he was prompted, didn’t get all ugly about it.
I still think no HOF though |
Re: Sproles Says He Deserves to be in the HOF
Sproles overall body of work was very good.
The Hall is and should remain to be reserved for ELITE play at their respected positions. Willie Roaf, Morten A., Rickey J & soon to be Brees. Guys who changed the way you game planned on Sundays. Impact & ELITE players. I love and respect DS, but he's not HOF worthy IMO. |

All-purpose = Master of none and you have to enter into the Hall as a 'something'.
Excellent player and helped us tremendously but not elite or HoF. |
