    Your franchises HOF

    With the Bucs set to induct Lee Roy Selmon into the Buccaneers new Ring of Honor this weekend, I thought it might be neat to see who you guys would induct into your franchise's HOF or ROH, etc. I know some teams already have them, and if that is the case, simply list who you would add.

    Buccaneers Ring of Honor

    DE - Lee Roy Selmon *first pick in franchise history/franchise sack leader

    OT - Paul Gruber *best offensive lineman in team history

    RB - James Wilder *best all-around back in franchise history

    RB - Mike Alstott *franchise leader in touchdowns

    TE - Jimmie Giles *best TE in franchise history

    WR - Mark Carrier *franchise leader in receiving yards

    WR - Kevin House *2nd in receiving yds/receiving touchdowns

    CB - Ronde Barber *franchise leader in INTs and defensive touchdowns

    DB - John Lynch *integral part of the resurrection of the franchise

    DT - Warren Sapp *2nd in franchise history in sacks (1.5 behind Selmon)

    LB - Derrick Brooks *Mr. Buc & face of the franchise for many years

    LB - Richard "Batman" Wood *a big part of the franchises early success

    LB - Hardy Nickerson *the FACE of the franchise before Derrick Brooks

    SS/FS Darren Woodson - 5 Pro bowls, 3 All Pros, All time tackler (1,350), Would cover the slot receiver due to his exceptional cover skills, never shied from the big hit

      That list is pretty weak, but the Bucs were really bad for a number of years. I do think Jimmie Giles was a top talent who unfortunately was stuck with really bad QBs . Its also interesting how quickly people forgot Hardy Nickerson. His name is never mentioned as one of the all-time great MLBs.

          Ravens...

          Ray Lewis - no explanation needed
          Chris McAlister - in his prime, arguably the best corner in the league
          Ed Reed - the best ballhawk at safety ever
          Jamal Lewis - he was as good a back as there was early in his career
          Matt Stover - he was our offense until we got flacco

            Tony Richardson
            Trent Green maybe

            Sad that they're all offensive players.

                That'd be mine. House was good, but not really what I'd look for in a team HOF. Wood was closer, but I still wouldn't put him there. Alstott was fun to watch and a fan favorite, but you could argue that Dunn was a much better back on tose same teams. Alstott always gets overrated. I was tempted to put Donnie in there, but he wasn't here long enough. Kelly, too. He was here longer, but not consistent enough.

                And of course Sapp was the face of the franchise after Nickerson. Brooks was arguably a better leader, depending on what you look for in that, but Sapp was the guy you thought of when you mentioned the Bucs post-Hardy. The media coverage he got that Brooks never sought played a big role there.
                I actually had Donnie in my original list and then took him out. I actually feel like the list is too big. But, Alstott would be put in solely on the fact that he had such a following and he is the franchise leader for touchdowns.

                  I'm just gonna add to your pretty perfect list.

                  Ozzie Newsome - Awesome GM... purely genious. He trades up for a D2 player named Joe Flacco? Who is laughing now. Lets not even get into his great 1996 draft class. All he had was 1 hiccup (Kyle Boller) and that was more Billick then Newsome.

                  Jermaine Lewis - Ok, he's a special teamer. But he is the equivalent of Cribbs, etc... While in his prime, no one kicked his way and everyone remembers his superbowl return.

                  Terrell Suggs - He's getting in, may be a bit early. But he did rack up 40 sacks in 4 years in the league and he just now hit his prime at 25 years of age.

                  Mike Flynn - Last of all, a bit pushing it but, he anchored our o-line from 2000 to 2007. A online that although didn't break much passing records, demolished the ground game. Leading for Jamal Lewis to break 2k in 03 and numerous 1k+ marks.

                          Tony Boselli- He's already in but I just wanted to point out that he was the first player the Jaguars ever drafted and was a hog on the offensive line.

                          Jimmy Smith- Never has a WR meant so much to one team. He played his entire career in Jax and has every receiving record on the team.

                          Mark Brunell- In his prime he led the Jaguars to numerous winning seasons and playoff appearances. He has all the QB records too.

                          Fred Taylor- He is probably my favorite Jaguar of all time. He meant a lot to the franchise in the earlier years and into the transition to today. He holds all the rushing records other than some bullshit ones MJD has.

                          Keenan McCardell- He's iffy but in his prime was a deadly combination with Jimmy Smith.

                              Ogden, Peter Boulware, and Michael McCrary are already in it. Only reason I didn't list them...
