Jerry Kramer waited decades to get in the Hall. When it was announced he made it he displayed humility and class, no bitterness. Too bad the HOF committee can't revote on TO, I'm sure he wouldn't get in.

Give me a break.

The NFL HOF is supposed to be about getting the best players their recognition for what they did in the NFL...not what they did or didn't do off the field.

Terrell Owens, love him or hate him was one of the most productive WRs in league history. WR is a position very much driven off stats. Even running backs have the OL excuse or lack of passing threat.

When TO retired AND when he was first elligbile for enshrinment he was top 2/3 in the top stats a WR can have which is yards and TDs. Receptions are great but a guy who catches 10 passes for 40 yards and 0 TDS didn't have a better game than a guy who catches 4 passes for 160 yards and 3 TDs. We've seen plenty of people get receptions which don't lead to moving the chains.

TO was a guy who could take over a game all on his own. We got lucky on the FG vs the Giants in 02 but TO dominated that game. They just couldn't stop him.

Everywhere he went he produced.

The fact that he wasn't a first ballot HOF when he was top 2/3 in the two most important WR stats in the game is a joke.

The NFL voters didn't do their jobs. MAYBE i could understand the "too many good people" excuse why he wasn't a first ballot guy but not putting him in the 2nd year was their way to reinforce the point. Moss had his issues too and didn't give the effort that TO gave but he got in first ballot.

TO should be pissed and so should NFL fans. They put in Marvin Harrison over him...why because Harrison was waiting? That friggin guy was involved in murder investigation and despite playing with Manning didn't put up numbers better than TO.

Jason Taylor - great dude and a very good player but he wasn't top 5 in sacks and was a first ballot pass rusher. That should've been TO's spot at worst.

NFL HOF voters turned this into a joke. I would rather TO go to the ceremony to enjoy the moment but I don't blame him and I find the idea that people are trashing him for this but not putting any blame on the voters and just saying "others had to wait" is silly.

Some positions are really tough to evaluate - OL is the biggest one and many elite OLmen wait and yes there were a lot of talented WRs who had to wait but none of them were top 2/3 in stats heading into the votes.

It's the NFL HOF not the HOF of good teammates. And really how many of the voters played with TO...oh wait most of them have never played in the NFL.

Outstanding post!

Not sure how it works with the Niners, but there's a rule within the Lakers organization that if you get inducted into the HoF, your jersey number gets retired without question. So I would think the Niners would at least ask Trent Taylor to pick another number now, and formally retire #81 at some point in the future.
