Jerry Rice to the Hall of Fame this weekend! - Blu-ray Forum

Dirk504 · 08-04-2010, 07:56 PM

That's right! The greatest to ever do it is finally going into Canton. I've been a Rice fan for over 20 yrs and there will never be another football player with his work ethic and skill level. My most memorable Rice moment was when they played the Raiders on Monday night football and he broke the TD record.

The greatest football player I ever saw play. He is the only receiver I have ever seen that could be considered for that distinction, he simply dominated at his position and set a new standard. His consistency is what was so amazing. It is no coincidence that both of the QBs who threw to him made the Hall. Rice made Montana and Young look more talented than they really were in actuality.

Indeed! I'm so happy. He's my favorite WR of all time as well. I'm going to watch the NFLN special.

Would've figured for Jimmy Smith or Keenan McCardell with you, mine is Bob Hayes, with my modern favourite being Miles Austin.

Jimmy Smith is #2 even though I have autographs, and a picture with him.

Glad to see Jerry and my favorite Emmitt going in at the same time. I have always respected Jerry on and off the field.

If it were up to me he should've been there right after he retired.

Its not that anyone held him back or anything happened they just have a waiting period, He's met that now and boom first ballot HOFer

Chordata · 08-05-2010, 02:36 PM

Excellent guy and arguably the best WR to ever play the game; well deserved.

(I'd say that Payton had a similar work ethic)

I know about the 5 year waiting period, but they should've made an exception for Rice

No they shouldn't have. Rice is a great player but no one is above that.

brettallica · 08-06-2010, 07:22 PM

You know how they have retired the number 42 from being worn in MLB and 99 from NHL? Well 80 should be retired from being worn in the NFL. Jerry Rice is THE number 80. Sort of like how Jordan is 23.

I'm happy to say I was fortunate enough to watch this guy play. He's definitely right up there with the best players of all time.

Little known fact about Emmitt Smith. He was voted the "Greatest High School Football Player of the Century" for the state of Florida. Considering the sheer amount of NFL talent Florida High Schools produce being named the all-time greatest high school player from the state is a huge accomplishment. His stats were incredible, 106 high school touchdowns?!?

Ironic thing is both his high school and college team were the Gators. And no disrespect to Tim Tebow but I still consider Emmitt the greatest Florida Gator player of all-time. Emmitt put up amazing number for UF despite playing on some very sorry teams.

Escambia High School, University of Florida and Dallas Cowboys running back great Emmitt Smith was named Player of the Century tonight by the Florida High School Athletic Association, as part of its “100 Years of Florida High School Football” celebration.

Smith, who played for Escambia from 1983-86 and led the Gators to back-to-back state championships in 1984 (Class 3A) and 1985 (Class 4A), holds the Florida high school career rushing record with 8,804 yards on a record 1,127 carries. His 45 100-plus-yard games also is a state record, and ranks second nationally. He scored 106 career touchdowns, which is third on the state’s all-time list
