haha--I don't expect you'll get away with it unscathed--so what is the reality--Stabler HOF or not? I don't see how not given the sheer size of his persona throughout the 70's regardless of what the actual stats come out to. And he was a lefty which caused its own set of problems for D's at the time. He's iconic in my mind.
Just like Namath you can make a good case for him to be in the HOF. But also like Namath I don't think he should get in because of his ints to TDs.
Yeah, right. I think we should re-evaluate the HOF as a whole based solely on statistics in hindsight. Perspective from the time when the games happened shouldn't count, and voting should happen when witnesses are all dead.
Keep them stats a' comming … I dispised the Raiders more than any other team - by far. Kenny Stabler? Loved him. Besides Namath, I liked to drop back 'lefty' and mimic the Snake's "raise the roof/shotput" pre-throw hitch (where he'd raise or 'push' the football upward almost like Red Foxx-as-Fred Sandford would do when he "put up his dukes"). : ) Consider the Raiders - Steeler "Immaculate Reception" playoff game in Three Rivers Stadium. Had it not been for that fluke play, Kenny Stabler would've been remembered as the young hero who came off the bench (yes, pleople forget that Darryl Lamonica started that game) and outran the Steel Curtain defense for a 30 yard TD with only a little over a minute to put the Raiders up 7-6.
