Terrell Owens is a better receiver than both Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. Sorry to say it. If you went off of stats alone he beats them both. Just because he didn't win a Super Bowl doesn't mean he was not a great receiver. Holt and Bruce benefited from each other. Owens did it on his own. And lets not forget that he played of a broke leg in the Super Bowl. No matter what quarterback he played with he was dominate. So Mike Martz can be as mad as he wants to be but Owens deserves the HOF nod over both Holt and Bruce. They will get in though. But when he has as many touchdowns (153) as they have COMBINED (165) There is no argument.

It is an unfortunate truth that HoF deserving receivers have to wait longer than most postitions. Tim Brown just got in last year. Tim Brown was the second best receiver in the league most of Jerry Rice's career. Torry Holt and Issac Bruce were both great receivers but neither of them spent much time as the only receiver on the team. They both benefitted from each other being on the team. You cant double team them both at the same time. Marvin Harrison spent the first 6 years of his career as the only legitimate receiving threat and really 7 years because reggie wayne didn't play a big role until his 2nd year in the league. T.O. was going to be a threat no matter if he was the only receiver or not. He was just that big strong and fast. There is no doubt he is a hall of famer. Im tired of people trying to turn the HoF of any sport in a court of morality. None of the people on here know these people personally...they are making judgments based on media outlets. T.O. knocked Hugh Douglas out in the locker room but Hugh thinks T.O. should be a first ballot guy. That should tell you something.

Owens was an immature brat that shouldn't be allowed into the HOF. I feel those elected should've been the type that's actually working for the team instead of himself. The way he acted against the coaches made him look like a BIG BABY. I wouldn't give him my vote. Hopefully those writers will really think about it.

The problem I see with T.O. making the H.O.F. is this. I will admit that he was a talented guy and he amassed some great individual stats but that doesn't make him a H.O.F. player. I feel that to make the H.O.F., you have to have a career that not only highlighted your individual contributions to the game, but also your contributions to your team and the the NFL as an organization. Owens gets stellar marks as an individual but he gets F's for his contributions to his teams and the NFL as a whole. I think he is a big part of the reason his teams never won a Superbowl. I would never vote for a guy like that to be representative of elite of my organization and the NFL H.O.F. shouldn't either.

Yes I was also an Eagles fan T.O. could be a pain at times, he could also be humorous in a devilish waythough sometimes also...keep in mind he missed games because of injury and was more or less benched most of his 2nd season in Philly otherwise his numbers would be even more impressive

TO was a game changer. As much as I hate to say it.

If we had to qualify a lot of the hof inductees by not being a jerk or not a team player half wouldn't be in. Those who voted he should not be in the hof are rediculous. I am an Eagles fan and hated TO after our Super Bowl appearance and what he did to the team after. However what he accomplished on all the teams he played on is hof material. He was rediculous inside the locker room and outside the stadium. On the field one of 10 best ever.
