Woodson = Hall of Fame player?

[rbaloha1]

Yes. Sharper and Butler should also be there.

Desire to win reminds of Reggie White.

[HarveyWallbangers]

HOF? Nah.

You have to be the BEST player at your position for a good portion of time. I'm not sure Woodson has ever been the best CB in the NFL at any point...although he's been an elite one for a very long time.

Look at LeRoy Butler. The guy was one of the 2 best at his position for 3-4 years, and he is probably not going to make the HOF.

Woodson will make the Packer HOF...which certainly isn't a bad consolation prize.

You could make the argument that Woodson has been one of the two best corners in the league over the last 2 1/2 years. He also had some darn good years in Oakland where he was near the top.

Agreed. Also, in Oakland, he wasn't exactly tested. Compared to whomever was starting opposite him. If I were a QB playing Oakland back in the day, I wouldn't throw to his side either. But his career has just spiked since coming to GB. Spiked!

[SnakeLH2006]

It's rare a CB can be so dominant to "will" games with amazing skills and ballhawking skills seemingly on a weekly basis. Deion. Rod Woodson, Night Train Lane, a few others.

Woodson is just amazing with what he does to help this team win. He's fearless, makes HUGE plays (massive production from the CB spot), and is definitely a HUGE leader for this young team.

which makes me ask over and over again....why are QB's throwing at him more than they do Al Harris?

Look at butler? Couldn't pick a worse comparison.

Butler isn't going in 4 the same reason sterling isn't in.

[mission]

I'm sorry but Woodson is way more dynamic of a player than Leroy Butler.

Nothing against Butler but let's not let nostalgia cloud our judgement in this case...

I think Woodson takes more chances than Harris. It's rare for those chances to result in a long completion, but I think QBs see that and think "I'll be the one that exploits that risk taking". Harris just doesn't leave any tempting holes. I think Woodson does, and that's what makes him so good. He baits QBs over and over and over and over...and they keep going for it.

Al Harris is like an offensive lineman: you never hear his name unless he screws up (typically a 15 yard penalty or illegal hands). Otherwise, he's so tight in coverage no one can throw at him.

I fell in love with CWood when he was with Mich...still envision him with the rose in his mouth out in cali

Hate to burst bubble but on a few key plays he was out of position vs the queens. love him tho

Can't do it! (at least no more than I can burst your Farvle!!)

[red]

hof depends on how much longer he plays

his chances are hurt by all the time he missed in oakland

i'd say he has a shot if he can keep it up for a few more years

Yep...it's true. His stats in GB are eye-popping stats wise and as a beast leader, but he was gone for about 4 seasons in Oakland. He needs to play at least 3 more years at his Packer level....but he'll be there in the HOF as Packer I hope. He's only 31 or 32 and locked in on a long-term 7 year deal. Thanks TT! Snake loves some Wood (only my own and that guy's named Charles).
