Iceman57 12 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 If Neil Smith gets elected to the NFL Hall of Fame, I wonder if he'll go in as a Chief or Bronco? Smith had his best years in Kansas City, but won his Super Bowl ring in Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Warpaint 3,235 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure the players have to go into the HOF representing each team they played for now. Enshrinees do not go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of a certain team. the bust sculptures of each Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee make no reference to any specific team.

reesebobby 5,663 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I know it's not the question being asked in the original post, but Neil doesn't really have a serious chance of being inducted does he? I realize he's nominated. He just doesn't seem like a HOFer to me, good as he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yeah i don't see him getting in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,687 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 shamefully he probably has a better chance than DT had being he has a SB Ring with the Donks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azchief21 5,278 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Not sure if he'll get inducted but sure was fun to watch him and DT meet at the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer 8,687 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 DT got in. but after how many years??..he shoulda been a first ballot or no further than the 3rd.Neil doesnt even qualify for honorable mention..how many players got in just because they have a SB ring or two.. thats the point. For years that was the speculation that DT had no SB ring so it was held against him. that and douche bag Bob Gretz did his arguing for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,663 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Well there was no hurry probably because he was already dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Just keep in mind that Troy Aikman got in with his first ballot. Rings are the biggest difference makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 DT set a record for most sacks in a game. That probably played into it. Plus he was the best edge rusher in history at the time I think. Reggie White was a great rusher, but didn’t DT define that edge rush, falcon position? I may be talking out of my ass.

This post is exactly what I was going to say. Derrick Thomas had the record 7 sacks in a game and made far more of an impact in defense. Neil Smith was likely to have greatly attributed for having DT on the opposite side of the D-Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
