Peppers and Gates are the 100% locks.

After that, I'd go Freeney, Wayne, and Andre Johnson

Dumb question but, has it always been only 5 inductees per year? Reason I ask is that the league has obviously expanded by what - 8 teams since the 60s? Shouldn't there be an increase with the number of teams in the era to the number of inductees?

From the HOF website:

quote:

There is no set number of new enshrinees, but the Committee's current ground rules do stipulate that between four and eight new members will be selected each year. Every candidate is thoroughly reviewed and must receive approval from at least 80% of the full Committee to be elected.

Right or wrong, though, Simms would have probably gotten in by now if he'd won that second Super Bowl instead of Hostetler. Two rings are just too much for sportswriter brain to ignore.

I've always been of the opinion that if you have the accumulative stats over a long period the no ability like availability vibes kind of kick in, similarly I think you should go in if you can't tell the story of the NFL without that person for more than a year. Eli fits that latter bill pretty readily.


TBH I don't like the idea of not putting a player in because a few fans might get mad, when their peers agree with them being in and it means so much to the player to be recognized.

This is what's gonna get Philip Rivers in

Now do yards per return. Hester is head and shoulders above everyone.

Agreed.

If it came down to Hester vs Gates, Gates should have gotten the nod.

This level of anger over Devin Hester lol just imagine the seething level of fury from stat heads when Eli makes it

Eli is much easier to justify

its hosed. i was glad faneca got in just because it vacates space at guard. I think Willie Anderson is the only OL otherwise at this point

Yanda probably won't be but Suggs sure as hell should be.

I'm just gonna say Should from now on forever because I thought Gates was a 100% lock and now I'm just a dipshit I guess

Suggs should be a slam dunk first-ballot, he's top 10 all time in sacks, first in TFLs, was very consistently among the best OLBs for a long time, has all the accolades (DROY, DPOY, all-pros, pro bowls, ringz), but as Ross has said, after Gates I guess you can't be sure of anything anymore

Suggs is Jason Taylor with post season success
