Is this guy a HoF'r

Just saw a tweet from Jensen or Biggs since 1991 only 2 players have 30 int's and 30 force fumbles, Brian Dawkins and Charles Tillman. I would think that would be enough to get him into the HoF; but for some reason I think he will go unrewarded for his play b/c of the bigger names around him. This guy in his time has shut down some great WR's. And being in the same sentance as Brian Dawkins I would think will help, but Tillman seems to go largely unnoticed even by other NFL players(only 1 pro bowl appearance, last year).

I would think Tillman would not get the votes for the hall. It is a hard quest to bust out... Still, weird things can happen on the journey.

I'll claim that Tillman isn't:

The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead.
[a man puts a body on the cart]
Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one.
The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor.
The Dead Collector: I can't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round?
The Dead Collector: Thursday.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk.
Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right

Local media should hype Peanut more imo. If the hall uses pro-bowls as prime criteria then I don't think Peanut makes it. Trouble is he should have been in more pro-bowls. He's going to have another good statistical year, perhaps two more PB's and he's definitely more in the conversation.

He's a ball hawk, for sure. I remember looking at his stats and the only players who seem to have more forced fumbles are linemen.

He is not flashy or popular enough to make the HOF. He has good numbers but I don't think they are good enough to get him recognition.

Not saying its fair, but he has only made it to a single pro-bowl, so i think his HoF chances are pretty low. (especially since he is on the Bears)

Actually I agree w/all you. I think it's shame though, this guy has been a staple of this D for years and has been largely forgotten by even other players. His #'s speak for themselves also, he SHOULD get in, but sadly probably won't.

Thats the BITCH, he has the number's but isn't PR hyped. May I ask, has any DB force more fumbles then Peanut, I BELEIVE no one has, so it must be true, LMFAO ( at me ) See what happens when in todays NFL ifyour not PR freindly. But I have always thought of Peanut as freindly, is it just local? If he was more FLASHY and had more national ( team with a better PR, but still sucked, Cowboys) OK, my rant. Great player bad PR cause not national,= MAYBE JC too? Either gives the GOOD soundbits and either are GOOD.( Peanut to me has gotten the longer, shaft. JC the STRONGER one)

I'm unclear on the part that I bolded above. I'm almost certain that you are NOT inferring that being a Bear lessens one's chances at reaching the HOF.
