The Coryell election came at an ironic price.

The Eli Manning HoF debate shitstorm is nigh

They elected Mongo before Antonio Gates who played forever and at a reasonably high level lol

Eli should already be in if that's the standard

Eli will get in more because of his name than anything he did on the field.

He will get in because of two passes that happened in a super bowl and he won both of them

Mongo is a weird choice when there are much better DL from around his era that haven't been elected. Why the gently caress isn't Jim Marshall in.

Now that Terrell Davis is in and the NFL admits longevity is irrelevant, Gastineau should be in for a 4 year stretch of being 1st/2nd team All Pro too.

Pretty sure he can only go in as a veteran's committee guy, which means a bunch of his contemporaries would have to forget that he was a loud and vocal scab. So that'll never happen.

Oh I missed that entire part nvm id rather have mongo than a shithead scab. I am too young to have experienced the finer points of that era of labor disputes.

The Hall of Fame used to mean being the very best at your position for a long time but now it means being famous which results in the 10th best returner of all time getting in while people ignore that Dante Hall made people talk about special teams well before Hester. You only need two good seasons and a super bowl highlight now. Grats all the mediocre guys out there and ty Hester for for sure securing Eli's place.

I appreciate this discussion quite a bit for Julian Edelman's eventual HoF induction
