SNAKE FOR THE HALL OF FAME!!!

The Snake AND Ray Guy both deserve to be in the HOF

@RockbertoRocks Yeh, I use to be a big fan of Stablers. Very surprised he hasn't been nominated.
-
That's why he's known as "The Snake."

@teller121 But in 1976 the Raiders beat the Steelers defense (which won 5 shutouts that year) but yes I wonder how the game would have gone if Harris could have played. If you look at the 70s the best were the Cowboy Steelers Dolphins and Raiders no one else.

This year, outrageously, I noticed that he didn't even make the nominations that the winners were chosen from; one of the winners being Floyd freakin' Little - but no Snake: '76 champ; Ghost to the Post in 2overtime in Balt against Bert Jones; falling down miracle pass to advance against Dolphins; 67% pass completions 1 yr (when that meant something); cheated out of repeat Superbowl appearance by the Rob Lytle fumble in Denver in '77 that wasn't called a fumble by "Orange Crush" obsessed refs.

I was a huge Raider fan during that era and I am here to tell you that Stabler's teams suffered from a major flaw that always put him behind the curve when they had to play Pitt for AFC Title: their front defensive seven. Their secondary was as good as the hyped Steeler crew but the front seven for the Raiders was VERY overrated: guys like MLB Monte Johnson, OLB Phil Villapiano, DT Otis Sistrunk, NG Dave Pear, and even big Matuszak. The Raider O-line and Casper rocked but Snake made it sing.
Ken Stabler was one of the top 3 passers of the 70's. He should be in the Hall of Fame. Those voters are a disgrace. Thanks for the memories, Snake!
