I would love to see him as a coach someday. Obviously, he would have to want to do it and have to work his way up. It would just be something I think he would be good at.

So what's the board's consensus on him for Hall of Fame?

No desire. Lawrence home asked him about it a few months back.

No. That is a question only a Bears fan would ever bring up. If great guy, model citizen and teammate, player fans love to root for, become HOF criteria, I would reconsider.

Yeah, there's absolutely zero chance he makes it into Canton. That doesn't take away from what he accomplished here, though. He was an amazing player, fun as hell to watch, and a genuinely great guy... but he never could quite get higher than a couple tiers below "HoF player"

Yeah, to be brutally honest, Tillman just was not good enough of a cover corner to make it. In fact, for the first half of his career, he was a liability in coverage. I remember in 05 and 06 how I would get mad because whenever a team actually had a long play on us, it was usually Tillman being mismatched.

Great guy who had a knack for causing fumbles. Average in coverage. 2 probowls late in his career.

Hester has a shot down the road because he might go down as the best returner ever. Tillman was the best at one aspect of many of playing cornerback.

If you put Tillman in the HOF today he'd become easily the worst and least accomplished player or person in the HOF.

The case for Tillman is not far fetched
Statistically you can sort of make a case for him....the things lacking is the probowls and INTs...

Look at Aeneas Williams

55 INTs
9 TDs
8 FFs
8 Probowls
3 All-Pros

Tillman

38 INTS
8 TDs
44 FFs
2 Probowls
1 All-Pro

Unfortunately FFs are not a recognized stat by the NFL technically. If they were, there could be a case for Tillman. As it stands I don't see how he goes.

Yes it is.

It's incredibly far fetched.

Ok yeah..Looked at it. Williams was far better. Made 4x as many Probowls. 3x as many All Pro Teams. Actually lead the league in INT's once. Williams might be the weakest corner in the HOF right now(Darrell Green?) but neither of these guys were the liability Tillman was at times in his career in coverage. Tillman was a unique turnover creator but no one in their right mind thought they were watching an elite player for 90% of his career. Tillman was underappreciated at times but he has no business in any HOF discussion

Bob Hayes lead the league in receiving TD's twice. He lead the league in Y/R twice as well. For a few seasons he may have been the best punt return man in football on top of being an elite WR. Made 2x as many Pro Bowls and 2x as many All Pro teams as Tillman. He helped the Cowboys win a Super Bowl.

Tillman's case would be based on FFs. He has over 5 times as many as William's. The problem is that the NFL did not recognize FF as a stat; It should, they are almost as important as INTs. If FFs had been recognized Tillman may have seen more probowls. As it stand's he doesn't have the stats.

Read that again to yourself and realize how hilarious that sounds.

Tillman's case would be based on a non-major statistical category that isn't even officially recognized by the NFL according to you.

NOT FAR FETCHED CASE!

:aj:

Said this before and I'll say it again, if Tillman wasn't a Bear for 99% of his career we aren't even sitting here discussing this.
