In the 80's all you heard was Roger Craig this, Roger Craig that... First time ever a 1000yd rusher and a 1000yd receiver in the same season. He was a Finalist this past season. But didn't make it again. Yes, should be in....being #1 on this list seems evidence of that. https://www.knbr.com/2020/01/15/roger-craig-snubbed-again-in-final-chance-at-hall-of-fame-induction/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, this is sort of a hint: In order to lose a lot of games....you have to be considered good enough to be kept around a long time. Seven of the losing coaches in history are in the HOF for their coaching. (Shula/Halas being two of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
