Is Jared Allen a Hall of Famer?

He is currently 9th on the all time sack list, and can possibly move up to fifth if he gets 8 sacks this season.
5× Pro Bowl (2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012)
4× First-team All-Pro (2007, 2008, 2009, 2011)
2007 Defensive player of the year

He won't be 1st ballot but he'll end up getting in.

He's in the 480 arse whipping HOF.

No

He was so fricking awesome at one point. The all-time sacks ranking is misleading since it hasn't always been recorded.

He s in, although the rules changed so much in 00s I feel stats should be judged a little differently. (Not him, but receiving/passing #s)

For calf roping only
Posted on 8/5/15 at 6:53 pm to 805tiger
Yes, easily. It may take some years but he will definitely get in eventually
Posted on 8/5/15 at 7:13 pm to 805tiger
Not first ballot but yeah. He was a premier DE in his day

Compare him to a similar LB who got in a few years ago Rickey Jackson. Allen's numbers at the end of his career could be close to Jackson minus tackles.
Sacks
Jackson is #13 (128) Allen is #9 (134)
Pro Bowls
Jackson 6 Allen 5
Turnovers (FF/INT)
Jackson 40/8 Allen 31/5
Tackles
Jackson 1173 Allen 479
Note: 2007 Defensive player of the year was Bob Sanders

I though of him as an DE, but when looking at his stats on NFL.com he was listed as a LB. I looked at CBS sports that also had him as a LB. Either way him and Jackson did the same thing, come off the end and go after the QB.
Posted on 8/5/15 at 7:43 pm to TigerintheNO
The 2015 season will be the first year he's been anything but a DE
Posted on 8/5/15 at 7:46 pm to TigerintheNO
Lol at calling him a linebacker
Posted on 8/5/15 at 7:47 pm to EmperorGout
No. He's too much of a redneck with his calf roping foolishness. Guys who celebrate too much after sacks don't get in the Hall of Fame.

Rickey Jackson was a 3-4 OLB who played over the TE his entire career and was actually called to cover more than you'd think. I know their stats are similar but as a player I don't see the comparison to Allen. Jackson's all-around game was a significant factor in his HOF selection; he wasn't just a pass rusher.
