Shields not elected to Hall of Fame
http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article...a-0932e7362447
The team's former guard honored to be on the HOF ballot The Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee announced Saturday that the following group will be enshrined as part of the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2014 in Canton, Ohio on Aug. 2. SENIOR NOMINEES Ray Guy - Punter - 14 seasons, 207 games; Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders (1973-1986) Claude Humphrey - DE - 14 seasons, 171 games; Atlanta Falcons (1968-1978) (1975 inj. res.) Philadelphia Eagles (1979-1981) FIRST-YEAR ELIGIBLES Derrick Brooks - LB -Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1995-2008) 14 seasons, 224 games Walter Jones - OL - Seattle Seahawks (1997-2008) 12 seasons, 180 games MODERN-ERA PLAYERS Andre Reed - WR - 16 seasons, 234 games; Buffalo Bills (1985-1999) Washington Redskins (2000) Michael Strahan - DE - 15 seasons, 216 games; New York Giants (1993-2007) Aeneas Williams - CB/Safety - 14 seasons, 211 games; Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals (1991-2000) St. Louis Rams (2001-04) Former Chiefs guard Will Shields says despite not being part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 2014 Class, he's grateful to be mentioned among the greats of the game. "It’s a great honor to be on that list," Shields said. "Me not getting in doesn’t tarnish anything that's been done over the 14 years of my career. It's still a positive thing. It's okay. There’s nothing I can do to change it. There are a lot of great guys that have played and had great careers on the field and some of them had great careers off the field. All I can say is I put my best foot forward and did everything I possibly could, on the field and off the field. My goal was to be the best teammate, the best player to always end up in the top-tier of what I did and then everything else falls into place after that. That’s sort of the way I looked at my career. Every day I stepped on the field, I wanted to be the best player I could be, on that day, and then after that, whatever happens, happens; I can’t control anything beyond that. I can control my little space, helping out my tackle or helping out my center, or those kind of things, and beyond that, I really can’t control the other pieces. I’ve done what I can do and I have to let the chips fall where they may." Here's to hoping the chips fall in favor of Will, next season, for the Class of 2015. |

Yeah, but Harrison looked great as a rookie too with Jim Harbaugh at QB. Sure it helped his overall numbers to work with Manning... but still, no one else has come within 20 receptions of that number in a season. You can't invalidate that, it is amazing.

Royce has spoken. So let it be written, so let it be done.

I don't know if it has anything to do with it but wasn't Marvin Harrisson involved with a murder in Philadelphia a few years ago. There were strong links but he never was prosecuted.

Then to top it off, with the getting passed over for what has to be the weakest class I can recall is total and absolute bullshit. I mean seriously- Will, Roaf, and Waters should all be no brainers. What this indicates to me is there really are a lot of guys On this committee that unless it was major media market and/or on nationally quite a bit, they truly don't have a ****ing clue and probably very time actually watching some of these guys. There's a good segment of NFL fans out there- the junkies, guys who have had the NFL ticket for 10-15 years, and feast On watching all they can. Hell, I'd say guys like that are better qualified to be the ones casting a vote on it!

Harrison didn't get voted in because he is a huge dick! Talked with him tons of times and truly a Class A one who sucks the penis. You might find 2-3 media and beat guys maybe that like him.

He also wasn't the one shooting, I believe, but refused to work with PD, and they found one of the guns hidden in a filled soap bucket.

Back when Ray Guy was at his peak as a kicker, there was a big controversy as to who was the better punter, Guy, or the Chiefs Jerrel "Thunderfoot" Wilson.
Wilson started with the Chiefs as a running back, which made him dangerous as a punter, because he could run a fake, literally. He kicked for 16 years for one team only. He was the prototype for kickers like Colquitt today. He had unbelievable hang time, and could kick for distance or field position, he was a master of placement for field position. He died of cancer in 2005. He's just as deserving as Ray Guy, maybe more so. If he were alive, I think he may have been selected instead of Guy. Wiki on Jerrel Wilson is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerrel_Wilson |
