Green Bay Press Gazette

Linebacker Dave Robinson, an athletic linebacker who starred for the Green Bay Packers from 1963 to 1972, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Robinson becomes the 12th member of the Packers' Glory Years teams to be enshrined in Canton, and the 22nd Hall of Fame player or coach who spent most of his career with the Packers. Five other Hall of Famers spent parts of their careers in Green Bay.

Carter was putting up great numbers year after year with crap QBs like Sean Salisbury, Brad Johnson, Jim McMahon, Wade Wilson, Rich Gannon (before he was any good) and a washed up Warren Moon. Reed had Jim Kelly. Carter is a jackass of the highest order, and we all know how much he liked to push off (but he knew how to get away with it), but his talent cannot be denied.

IIRC, when Buddy Ryan released or traded him and made the "all he does is catch touchdowns" comment, we found out years later it was a cover for Carter's drinking and relative lack of production.
Granted, once in Minnesota, he flourished, whatever the reason. And became the 'dominant' WR that everybody recalls.
I'm just not sure his time in Philly was "HoF-worthy".

This.

They'll wait until he's in the ground, then they'll vote him in.

Pricks.

I get Carter & Sapp, but you have a problem with Parcells too?

The guy never dropped a pass it seemed. He probably had like 3 drops his entire career. If the ball was made out of iron, his hands were magnets. Best pair of hands I've ever seen.

All he does.....CATCH TOUCHDOWNS!

Nice article from Christl about Robinson. Probably best just to click the link and read the whole thing as the snip doesn't do it justice.

Robinson set Packers on path to glory
Green Bay Press Gazette
by Cliff Christl

The late Phil Bengtson, who ran Lombardi’s defense for nine years and then succeeded him as head coach, told me in 1986 that he would rate Robinson the Packers’ second best defender during that period behind only Ray Nitschke.

The late Dave Hanner, both a player and defensive coach during the Lombardi era, told me in 2004 that he thought Robinson was even better than Nitschke.

Here’s even higher praise: In terms of size and athletic ability, Robinson was Lawrence Taylor before there was a Lawrence Taylor. The one big difference between them was that Taylor was a nonpareil pass rusher, whereas Robinson played mostly laterally or backpedaling in coverage.

“Comparing him to Lawrence Taylor is a pretty accurate way of explaining how good Dave was,” Pro Football Hall of Famer and former NFL head coach Raymond Berry said in an interview two weeks ago. “Those two guys were as good as it gets.” continue
