Question

Will Champ Bailey and Hine Ward make the hall of fame?

Answer 1

No doubt Champ will. Hines on the other hand is questionable. He is a great player very reliable but doesn't get the median attention others do. But since they both went to the best college in the land (GEORGIA) I think they both should make it in. GO DAWGS............

Answer 2

Two very great current players; but I'm not sure their stats are Hall-worthy. Bailey might be the best pure cover corner in the league since Deion Sanders retired; but that doesn't make him a Hall of Famer. Yet....

Ward is a tough, gritty, sure handed possession receiver. But Hall of Fame votes go to guys like Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, Lynn Swann, and the "flashy" receivers.

If there was a blood-and-guts Hall of Fame, Ward would be in.

Answer 3

Definitley Champ...............

Answer 4

Champ will. He's been arguably the best CB in the NFL for the last 5 years.

Ward, I'm not so sure. I'd have to look at his numbers.

Champ is a lock. He'll more than likely get 6-10 INT's this year with Bates gone and Slowik allowing the defense to play their natural positions.

Answer 5

bailey yes

ward no

why?

bailey is arguably the best corner since prime-time

and ward is a good receiver who can block and is very reliable, but like someone else pointed out, first ballot goes to the guys with 23 TDs in one season haha

but yeah, jerry rice, marvin harrison, randy moss typeof guys...you wouldnt throw ward's name into the mix

Answer 6

Barring a huge drop off soon Bailey will get in.

Ward will be top 10 in receptions and top 20 in yards and TDs if he plays 4 or  more years.  Add in a reputation as a tremendous blocker and I suspect he will get in eventually if he can reach those milestones.  (4 more years of 60 catches, 800 yards, and 4 TD's would put him around 950 catches for 12,000 yards and 80 TDs)  

Answer 7

champ for sure but not ward

Answer 8

(((GO BRoncos)))

Answer 9

Champ Bailey, I'd be willing to bet that he'd make it in to the Hall of Fame, as long as he keeps playing like he is right now for the next 5 or so years.

Hines Ward...eh I don't really think so. I mean, he is an above average receiver, but he's not like a Jerry Rice or Randy Moss kind of guy, you know what I'm saying? If you look at the receivers that make it into the HoF, they're usually the guy that ESPN is always talking about in a positive manner (except in Terrell Owens' case). And I don't really see Hines Ward making the catches that Randy Moss makes.

Answer 10

I think both will make the HOF.

Answer 11

Champ Baily will, Hines Ward, not so much
