I don't see why Vinitieri is such a long shot to get in. If you compare his stats to Stenerud he has better stats......as well as having 4 superbowl rings, 2 of which he is responsible for compared to 1 SB ring for Stenerud
Stats
Stenerud - Field Goals 373/558 for a FG% of 66.8% and 580/601 in extra point attempts for a 96.5 percent in 19 seasons
Vinitieri - Field Goals 311/378 for a FG% of 82.3% and 454/463 in extra point attempts for a 98.1% percent in 12 seasons (so far)
and owns 7 NFL Records and tied for an 8th
Vinatieri holds the record for most postseason field goals in a career, with 40, which he set during the 2006 season, surpassing Gary Anderson's previous record of 34
Most consecutive games in a single postseason with 3+ field goals: 4
Most points in postseason, career: 167
Most field goals in a single postseason: 14
Most Field Goals Lifetime in Super Bowl: 7
Most (One Point) Extra Points Lifetime in Super Bowl: 13
Record for most total points in a single postseason: 49 in 2006 (surpassing Terrell Davis' previous record of 48)
Most Field Goals in a single NFL postseason game: 5 (tied with Steve Christie and Chuck Nelson); achieved twice, with the Patriots vs. the Colts in the 2003-04 AFC Championship, and with the Colts vs. the Baltimore Ravens in
and Ron, I know you always feel the need to bring up some wronged Raider whenever the discussion of the HOF comes up but we are talking about Place Kickers...Ray Guy was was a punter, granted one of,if not, The best....but can't draw comparisons on that
