I don’t understand why certain positions get devalued

Kickers should be recognized. They impact every game.

Hoss is a great, great call.
Tynes made a couple of key kicks..  
EricJ : 1/30/2019 10:57 pm : link
but he was not even the best Giants kicker.

We should put fucking Matt Stover in the ring of honor
He's a kicker who is in

the highest leverage situations for a matter of a couple seconds. He hit two iconic kicks on the road to send his team to the Super Bowl where they ended up winning both.

He doesn't make those kicks, the Giants don't win either game.

So, yes. He's in, imo.
Yes 100%

He kicked the Giants to two Super Bowl appearances. He’s an all-timer.
NO

WE are not putting the entire rosters of SB teams in the Ring. He was kicker. Nothing special.

No to all these and definitely no to Tynes. But loved Hoss.

He missed the first two in GB, if you recall.
Yes he his kick put them in, but...
Hostetler is another guy that absolutely should be on it

Agreed 100%.

I'm not sure how he isn't already.
Do people understand  
Carson53 : 1/31/2019 1:58 pm : link
that a ROH is based om career accomplishments. Hoss had
a moment as a Giant, yep it culminated in a SB, much appreciated...ROH, I think not. What else did he do with
the NYG? That is not how a ROH works, nor should it be.
Hostetler led the Giants to a title  
Go Terps : 1/31/2019 2:00 pm : link
That's not a career accomplishment? That's potentially less valuable than playing 10 years and winning nothing?

That was great moment, but it takes more than that for
a ROH, that's how it works. It is an overall career, not a great moment.

Moment? It wasn't just one great play like making a clutch kick.

He led them through the playoffs and was a SB winning QB having some great moments along the way, Without him the Giants have one less Lombardi and that's why they play, to win it all.

That run and SB win are what makes him worthy of being honored IMO.

A moment is a figure of speech, I forget the age gaps on
here, not literally a moment. I am saying a few games,
that culminated in a SB win is not worthy of ROH.
If he had done something with the Giants either before or
after that particular SB as a Giant, that would be a different scenario. The fact is he didn't, after the SB, left in free agency to the Raiders, and prior, he did nothing. I view a ROH on a distinguished career overall.
I believe that's how the Giants organization looks at it as well. You can disagree folks if you like.
As I said above, it was much appreciated what he did.

Is a very elite group.

Good players don’t qualify, Great players do. Longevity must be factor as well
