NIGHT STALKER Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I've always been on this guy's bandwagon for the HOF...he deserves to be in there even more so than Klecko IMO. I don't know how much Namath has barked to the HOF committee about him, but he should be leading the pack trying to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Yeah Hill belongs in the Hall for sure. When I saw the title of your thread I thought maybe the Jets had signed Winston to play guard. He could still do a better job then Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I could play Guard better than Clarke. Then again a stump could play better than Clarke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I think Winston Hill is one the guys that suffered from the HOF prejudice against the AFL. He stuck around until '76, but was never on any decent "NFL" teams and those old bastards still held a grudge. That's why I like Al Davis no matter how senile that old Erasmus Dutchman might get. **** Pete Rozelle and **** the NFL! Fight the power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he made the pro bowls, those post-merger teams were sub-standard and I think they will hold that against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
