Scott Norwood for Wall of Fame?
At Jim Kelly's annual golf tournament, there was a lot of talk about Bruce Smith's impending induction onto the Bills Wall of Fame. But Darryl Talley says there needs to be some consideration for honoring Scott Norwood. The team's kicker from 1985-91 ranks among the team's best in all kicking and scoring categories.
"Everybody seems to have forgotten Scott," said the standout linebacker, "if you look back on the early days, we won a lot of games with special teams and him kicking field goals. There's somewhere up there for Scott to be, but nobody wants to acknowledge it. Because he missed a kick? I missed some tackles in that game (Super Bowl XXV), Bruce missed some, Thurman dropped balls, Jim threw interceptions, whatever. Nobody seems to realize that here's a guy who contributed to our team. Here's a guy who made a major contribution to what this organization is about. It just irks me that people forgot."
Much like everything Talley did, he made these comments with passion and intensity.
Do you agree? Is Scott Norwood worthy of the Bills Wall of Fame? Have the feelings about him and the missed kick changed over the years? Please post your comments.

I totally agree. Scotty was a key part of those teams in the late 80s and early 90s. The only people still down on Scott for that miss are the people who know nothing about the game...the game itself as well as Super Bowl XXV
My response?
No.
put his name wide right of the goalpost!!!!!!!!!!
