Bwestbrook36 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I don't like when they list players as eagles players for the hall of fame when they had their best years somewhere else. Just my own thing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It’s a crime that Allen isn’t already in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBeach_Eagle Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Quote Fifteen finalists will be revealed in January. In addition to the modern-era finalists will be senior finalist Cliff Branch, contributor finalist Art McNally and coach finalist Dick Vermeil. https://www.nfl.com/news/pro-football-hall-of-fame-reveals-26-semifinalists-for-class-of-2022 Vermeil should be in, so I think this will be his year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watters was good, but there are so many RBs and his yards per carry for some years was very average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I was about to post this. Personally I think both players deserve the HOF. Ricky Watters have all the credentials despite the hate he gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utebird Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Ricky watters belong in the hall of very good, then again a bunch of hall of famers belong in the hall of very good Eric Allen should have been in a long time ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierdaddy Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Glad to see Eric become a finalist, he deserves it. It still blows my mind how Seth gets dissed in HOF voting. Put his #s up against Derrick Brooks, they're the same. Brooks has one Lombardi, that's the only difference. (I think Seth got a Lombardi as well, with Denver, but that was as a backup) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
315Eagles Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Didn't realize Ricky had over 10,000 yards rushing. Not bad......still don't see him in the HOF. I know he didn't put up the numbers Watters did but I always liked Charlie Garner better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an interesting comparison, but I feel like Watters beats Dillion in total yards (14891-13154) and playoff performances. At some point in time when they start looking into Pats SB teams Dillion probably will get in though he was only a part of one SB victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watters blows Dillon away when you start adding in the receiving yards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a highly productive Eagle and he had Eagles record for the most rush yards for a while. On top of that he played 12 season and played 4 years for all three teams. He was very productive for all three teams as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people I think just consider him a jag and write him off. People kill him for the "for who for what” quote, but if you actually look at that season Watters just flat out balled for the Eagles. Anytime a back has over 300 carries he’s literally carrying the team. In 96 Watters led the league in carries for the Eagles with 353. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, watters was a really good back he was outstanding for the niners and their super bowl run. Then his first 2 years here he was a huge reason why they went 10-6 especially with what they trotted out there for QB 7 minutes ago, EazyEaglez said: I get it sometimes like when they wrote and congratulated "Eagles HOF player Richard Dent.” 😂🤣😂 Like huh?

JohnB Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Eric Allen was my favorite player for many years. I was crushed when he left. I was at the game at Giants Stadium against the Jets when he made that monumental interception (the game when Randall broke his leg the 2nd time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
