based on his career if he retired this year would terrell owens make the hall of fame?

Answer 1

As of right now, not a chance in hell. He may have the stats to back it up but he has way too many off-the-field issues that'll hold him back. To most people he's more known as a trash talker and a troublemaker. He's going to be known for his personality than his ability as a receiver. Especially the incidents with Jeff Garcia when he left Frisco and with McNabb when he left Philly. I really don't think thats the kind of player that people are going to vote into the HoF.

Answer 2

Probably eventually, if people over time forget what a clown he is. No way does he make it on the first ballot, if for no other reason that what he did to Philly's season two years ago.

He had a pretty good run in San Francisco until he called his QB gay. Then he had a solid season in Philly until he called his QB an overrated quitter in the Super Bowl. He had an above-average season in Dallas last year (if only he hadn't dropped a handful of game-winning catches)... I'm just wondering what he's going to call Romo.

If he makes it three-for-three on alienating Pro Bowl QBs, the voters are going to have a hard time justifying enshrining a guy who made a trio of franchises regret ever touching him.

Answer 3

It might take him a couple of years after hes eligible due to the number of people already eligible and because he didn't play a full career, but i believe he would get in. There's no other physically gifted receiver that plays and produces like T.O. does. Yes he runs his mouth too much, we all know that, but when he plays he's nearly unstoppable. He has the stats and the highlights to back up his talk. If he plays a few more good seasons, hes a first ballot hall of famer. As of right now, give him a year or two after he's eligible and he'll get in.

Answer 4

He should but with the new commissioner and all he might not. I'm sorry T.O. is good but his has a lot of issues. His issues also affect his teammates and coaches. Objectively he should be in the hall of fame. But if the NFL wants to set a good example and image of the league he might not be in the hall of fame. But if Michael Irvin got in then any WR with decent stats and some pro bowls should be able to get in.

Answer 5

Probably. He already has over 800 receptions, over 11,000 yards and over 100 TD's.

If he stays healthy and out of trouble he will surpass Henry Ellard, Keyshawn Johnson, Shannon Sharpe, Steve Largent and Larry Centers in receptions and Don Maynard, Michael Irvin, Charlie Joiner and Jimmy Smith in receiving yards.

Even though he has been a showboat with a big mouth surpassing those players will support his cause to be inducted into Canton.

Answer 6

Without a doubt, Michael Irvin was recently inducted into the hall of fame and he definitely had his share of problems. Both were and are fantastic players, if Irvin could get in with off-the-field drug-related problems than there is no reaon TO wont make it. TO has only nade the mistake of being overly passionate, sure he destroyed two locker-rooms, but he did it because he wanted to win. Go Dallas!!!

Answer 7

NOOOOO!!!!! Terell Owens is the worst player in the NFL today, not talking about his abilities he is an excellent wide reciever but his attitude is what is going to keep him out of Canton. Unless he changes his attitude he will never get to say his speach in front of a crowd.

Answer 8

I would say no,because he has had good seasons but hasnt won anything.Look at some others to campare him to.Art Monk great receiver with a ring and isnt in.Micheal Irvin 3 rings good stats and barely got in.

Answer 9

Nope. The HoF is SUPPOSED to be about on the Field only. Which is the case when it is a COKE HEAD. With T.O. though, because it was AGAINST THE MEDIA, it WON'T be. Would he get in BASED ON NUMBERS and ABILITY on field? YES. Will he get that treatment though? NO.

Answer 10

Yes, and this is coming from a diehard eagles fan, i am not a fan of T.O.'s but if Michael freeking Irvin could get in....
