Is Adam Vinatieri a Hall of Famer?

[Blake]

Well, is he?

 

[Oiler35]

Fuck yes.

Until someone disagrees, I'll keep it at that.

I dont know. Im kinda on the edge on this. Yeah He has been the most clutch kickers of all time but I just dont know.

 

[Blake]

45-yard kick, in a fucking blizzard, in the 2001 divisional play game to send it to overtime. Also landed on a 23-yard game winner.

48-yard kick to win Superbowl XXXVI.

2003 AFC Championship – Adam scores more points (15), than the entire Colts’ offense (14).

41-yard kick to win Superbowl XXXVIII.

2006 Divisional playoffs – Adam scores more points (15), than the entire Ravens’ team (6).

Kicked three field goals in the Colts’ win over New England in the 2006 AFC Championship game.

50-yard kick to give the Colts’ a two point lead with :53 left in the 2010 Wild-Card playoffs.



Yes, his stats may not be that great, but that shit is HoF worthy in my opinion. I wouldn't vote him in over a player like Deacon Jones or Earl Campbell, but in a weak year he's in no contest.

For jumping ship to Indy, no

I think there are 2-3 Kickers that are HOF worthy.

Adam Vinatieri
Morten Andersen
Gary Anderson

Ray Guy.

 

[The Edge]

Ray Guy.

Guy was a punter, doubt his 0 career field goals gets him in in the kicker position

Its rare that a kicker gets in the HOF, theres only 1 kicker in the HOF ATM if I remember correctly, and until Morten Anderson and Gary Anderson get in, Vinatieri won't be a footnote on the HOF's epic ass.

 

[footballplaya52]

Guy was a punter, doubt his 0 career field goals gets him in in the kicker position

he was also far and above THE BEST punter of all time.

he was also far and above THE BEST punter of all time.

Exactly. ST players do not get in the HOF really. I see it hard for Adam Vinateri getting it.

You're forgetting the GOAT.

 

[Blake]

I'd actually say that Sammy Baugh was the best punter of all time.

Baugh, to this day, has the greatest yards per punt of all time in a season. Fucking 70 years later. It's not like the game of punting has evolved that much, Baugh is the GOAT here.

Shane Lechclers' 2009 season wasn't even that good in yards per punt.
