October 18, 20178 yr Brady Rodgers AP Frank Gore Gates Witten Fitzgerald James Harrison Julius Peppers Pretty much anyone that is a definite Hall of Famer that isn't a kicker.... Not questioning the list because I think they are all sure bets as HOF. But do Gore, Peppers and Harrison get in on the first ballot? I think all the other guys are no-doubt first ballot.
October 18, 20178 yr Not questioning the list because I think they are all sure bets as HOF. But do Gore, Peppers and Harrison get in on the first ballot? I think all the other guys are no-doubt first ballot. Harrison for sure. Peppers and Gore probably.
October 19, 20178 yr Author There are better kickers than him that deserve to be in HOF before him. Who?
October 19, 20178 yr Vinatieri is as close to a lock as you can get, for a special teamer. No kicker made the kicks that counted more often than him. I can't remember him missing a big kick.
October 19, 20178 yr He made the kick in the blizzard that Brady said you could not see the goal posts. One of the best clutch kickers in NFL history.
October 19, 20178 yr Who? Nobody. He doesn't know what he's talking about. If he kicks all of this year and next he'll likely break Morton Anderson all time points record. That on top of the kicks he made to win Super Bowls and he will go down as the greatest kicker of all time.

That on top of the kicks he made to win Super Bowls and he will go down as the greatest kicker of all time.[/quote First off you are a total jerk to me. Second hell yeah I do know what I'm talking about. Just because I think there are better you think get to act like a jerk to me. I don't think so. Your opinion means as much as mine. Gary Anderson deserves it before any other kicker. Eddie Murray Nick Lowery John Carney Tampa Bay 1988-89; Los Angeles Rams 1990, San Diego 1990-2000; New Orleans 2001-06,’09-10; Jacksonville 2007; Kansas City 2007; New York Giants 2008 All-Pro (1994), 2-time Pro Bowler Super Bowl XLIV champion (Saints) Career success rates: 82.4 percent FG (478 made), 98.4 percent PAT 2,062 career points in 302 games (23 seasons) Carney was the ultimate journeyman, but he got the job done at a high level at every stop in his career. Matt Stover New York Giants 1990; Cleveland 1991-95; Baltimore 1996-2008; Indianapolis 2009 All-Pro, Pro Bowl (2000) Super Bowl XXV (Giants), XXXV (Ravens) champion Career success rates: 83.7 percent FG (471 made), 99.5 percent PAT 2,004 career points in 297 games (19 seasons) Stover made his name with the Ravens. As great as the defenses he shared a locker room with were, he was about as good as a kicker can be for the PAT. Jason Elam Denver 1993-2007; Atlanta 2008-09 3-time All-Pro, 3-time Pro Bowler Super Bowl XXXII, XXXIII champion (Broncos) Career success rates: 80.7 percent FG (436 made); 99.4 percent PAT 1,983 career points in 263 games (17 seasons) Elam was one of the most prolific kickers of his era. He also owns the second-longest field goal in NFL history (63 yards). Jason Hanson Detroit 1992-2012 All-Pro (1997), 2-time Pro Bowler Career success rates: 82.4 percent FG (495 made), 98.8 percent PAT 2,150 career points in 327 games (21 seasons) It doesn't matter what sport or position you play, you are probably doing it right when the same team holds on to you for 20 years. Hanson is the only kicker to ever be named Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Pro Football Writers Association. Gary Anderson Pittsburgh 1982-94; Philadelphia 1995-96; San Francisco 1997; Minnesota 1998-2002; Tennessee 2003-04 2-time first-team All-Pro, 4-time Pro Bowler Career success rates: 80.1 percent FG (538 made); 99.2 percent PAT 2,434 career points in 353 games (23 seasons) Anderson is quite simply the greatest kicker in the history of the greatest franchise of the Super Bowl era. For his troubles, the Steelers retired his No. 1 jersey. Here is Vinatari stats to compare too. He also had Brady to get him to Super Bowl too. Adam Vinatieri New England 1996-2005; Indianapolis Colts 2006-Present 3-time first-team All-Pro, 3-time Pro Bowler Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX (Patriots) and XLI (Colts) champion Career success rates: 84.3 percent FG (530 made), 98.4 percent PAT 2,378 career points in 322 games (21 seasons) Vinatieri is arguably the most famous kicker in NFL history, thanks to the three field goals that sealed Super Bowl wins for New England three different times and one miraculous kick in snowy Foxboro to beat the Raiders in the "Tuck Rule Game."

You just used the argument that Vinateri had Brady carry him to the Super Bowl. Has there ever been a different scenario? Has a kicker ever carried a team to the Super Bowl? Come on. Vinateri, barring injury, is going to finish his career as the all time points leader in NFL history and go down as the most clutch kicker in NFL history. There really isn't anything to debate. Yeah Vinateri played on great teams, he still had to make the kicks and he did.
October 19, 20178 yr Also sorry if I come off as a jerk, I'm really not trying to be I just call people out on takes that I think are wrong. I want my life to be like one long episode of first take, around the horn, pti, etc. haha I don't mean anything personally, we're just talking about sports here. Sports are what I'm passionate about as are all of you, but unless you say something just entirely stupid that makes me question your character, nothing's ever personal coming from me. I may think your takes on sports, politics, pop culture, whatever are horrible, but everyone I've interacted on here with I'm sure is a good person and the last thing I want any of you to think is I'm attacking you personally, just some of your awful takes on sports. After all sports and all the other stuff we talk about on here are a huge part of our lives, but they don't define who we are as people.

Everything you just posted on these guys proves that Vinatieri is the best of the bunch. :idunno:
