YES! Whats the damn holdup? He ran great routes was deceptively fast and had awesome hands! The numbers prove it. I miss those GSOT days. Holt was so smooth and very likable as a player and he was an important part of what made those teams GREAT!

Very much so,when you think about a rookie WR.All he ever did is help elevate The Rams to a Superbowl victory.
 
I’m starting to think he may not make it in due to the backlog of good receivers
 
I never was a big big Reggie wayane fan. He was good though.

Andre Risen was special to me in the fact he was a True DIVA & Baller! I remember him in a few settings & he was just a winner.

Now Torry Holt IMO was the best Ram rookie WR I’d ever seen.Charlie Army’s missing piece.I was a Draftnik back in the day.Torey was coming off a knee injury from I believe NCS? He went against Champ Bailey from the ACC a couple times ? I really loved Champ Bailey.That Draft Class was very special.

-As Ram Fans we got VERY LUCKY!! There’s no way we get (draft) Torry Holt that The Colts traded Marshall Faulk to The Rams for there 2nd round pick in 1999.(Brings back a sad time).My mom was a Marshall Faulk Fan.She loved more of the So Cal Kids.She turned into a Jr.(55) Fan. A special Jersey at USC.That dude from NFL(Belacheat)Network disrespected it & lost his job ?

Anyways I always go that way.Lots of memories.I felt like I was the ONLY RAMS FAN in The World outside St.Louis.She just missed seeing missed seeing Marshall & The Greatest Show on Turf!!! There’s no way she wouldn’t have done like every EX-RAM FAN did!!

She would’ve Loved Everything about The Rams with Dick V!!(UCLA)(Eagles).

Truth is at least EDGirrin
James would have been a Ram with Trent Green at QB.(cheap shot Belacheat Rodney). We know The History!!

Puka would have been another favorite of hers.Just the Kid & Excitement. It would be fitting if Torry Holt went into The HOF,especially if The Rams win The Superbowl.

It’s funny for Christmas is a in theory a guy who in a way could be like a Son in Law to be in some Crazy like World came to my place with his University Cal State Irvine sweatshirt on wanting us to just walk around campus last week.He attends since September.My GF says we will show you where The Rams practice. I remember seeing & yelling at Puka in between a VIP section.He took on coaching well. I don’t know. Just thinking maybe there is another full circle ? I LOVE watching The Youth & just ALL that !

—The Sad is my dad has past.My Uncle just passed this year.I had stopped talking to him(he just came to mind). He had Season Tickets to The Rams when they moved to Anaheim.They actually were called the Anaheim Rams on betting cards back in the day.

I hit a Big(couple)Bet & got 150 - 1 odds before the preseason.When Trent Green went down it went to 300-1,but before that you’d have been lucky to get 70-1. It sort of ruined my LIFE!! I don’t know? All the changes & things that went on in my Life afterwards.
It would (is) be a New Chapter.

What would or should we call this next era ? The Greatest Show on Turf has already been taken. Thanks Torry Holt for changing The Rams FOREVER!!
He is already a HOF RAM no matter what !!
 
I guess things come full circle.

As a LA(Dodger hater) Sports Fan,
I’ve seen a couple championships & Great Players through time.

The Rams are my team,as I actually at the time didn’t mind them moving.9er Fans invested the place( LA Area). All those Bandwagon Fans I call them.That’s why all The Haters like ( O. N. De) get me upset.I drink the Kool-Aide.

First (2nd) day I saw Pucka I wanted to yell at him.I did but it was more of encouragement.He is a solid Frame Guy.He had just dropped a Punt.Anyways there was a tent in front of me starting the day of training camp.

To say I knew what The Rams were getting I’d be lying.I did notice Kupp & the coaching staff really teaching him & his passion to learn was there.I’ve posted some of this before.

Just happy for him & The Rams.
Continue—
 
The Full circle is Puka breaking The Rams & NFL receiving yards & catches.

Super Bowl year Torry Holt was a rookie & now maybe getting into The HOF !! K. Warner

Rams won the Superbowl & Kupp win the Triple Crown with Stafford.

—Then again Jared Goff took The Rams to the Superbowl under Mcvay.

Torry deserves to be in The HOF & The Greatest Show on Turf in St. Louis was pretty awesome.

He will get in. Not this year. They will put Andre Johnson ahead of him. There is hope for next year, I think. No chance this year, sadly.

Idk, some of the newly eligible next year is a bit stacked. I'm not saying any of this list should be 1st ballot necessarily but the way the HOF vote seems to go lately I could see the top 6 and Staley all be a possibility. Vinatieri is probably a lock. I don't agree but I could see Eli being next probable lock.

Also, this list makes me feel old. It seems like it's only been a couple of years since Kuechly retired.

Ouch. Seeing that list of first time eligible players retired in 2019, coupled with the growing back log of snubbed WR's players, I'm wondering if he'll get in. He's getting pushed down the all-time list, and Fitzgerald/Witten are first time eligible the following year.
Henry Ellard not being in is crazy.

I’m sorry but this is a very weak class. They’re all good players but aside from Yanda and Suggs nobody stands out to me, just don’t think Kuechly played long enough and Manning was barely a top 5 QB some years. People put way too much emphasis on two miraculous seasons.

Yeah, same. It still blows my mind that he had 14k yards. He never stood out to me an elite of the elite receivers. Just a consistent dude who put up some numbers every year.

Reggie Wayne was consistent every year, and he was the Colts' #1 with Marvin Harrison gone. Both he and Holt should've gotten in a long fucking time ago, especially when Andre Johnson and Devin Hester - Devin fucking Hester! - got in ahead of them.

And S-Jax WHEN?!

I always thought Reggie Wayne should have Holt's nickname Big Game. Not that Torry didn't deserve it but Big Game Reggie Wayne sounds so good.

Devin Hester getting in at all is insane. 37 career touchdowns doesn’t belong in the HOF I don’t care how good at returning punts he was. And especially over those two receivers. Wayne was great don’t get me wrong but he had Manning for his entire career and I always felt like that took just a little away from him. Holt dealt with shitty coaching and QB play and still produced. Plus I’m biased so who knows lol
