Wow, I just read FO's recent intense piece in favor of TD:

Maybe I should start a campaign to get Aaron Schatz on the voters' board.

Ugh, so many tough choices once again. DeBartolo definitely has to get in, and so should Strahan after Sapp beat him out last year. After that, I'll go with Reed, Greene, and reserve a homer pick for any of Atwater, Mecklenburg, or TD. It sucks that I'm making Walter Jones wait a year, as well.

Jerome Bettis and Kevin Greene do not belong in the hall of fame

I'm not a big Terrell Davis guy but he should be in a long time before Bettis

It's ridiculous that it has taken Kevin Greene this long to get in. He's third all-time in sacks!

Dungy and Bettis shouldn't even be allowed to visit the Hall of Fame, let alone be inducted.

Like it or not, Dungy's going to have a fighting chance based more upon who he is, not what he did.

But yeah, I can think of at least five coaches that I'd put in over him.

whos career lasted longer? being able to hold up as a running back for 13 years isnt that easy to do.

TD averaged .7 more yards per carry (using a ten year span of bettis with pitt and TD with denver) bettis had 18 more TD over that time span (due to the extra 4 years) but i am sure things would have evened out. TD had some drastic drops in yards per game while bettis slowly went down hill.

otherwise if you average out their stats to comparable years they arent that far off

Why doesn't Kevin Greene deserve to get in?

Quote:
Greene finished as the NFL's all-time leader in sacks by a linebacker, ahead of players like Lawrence Taylor, Derrick Thomas, Rickey Jackson, and Andre Tippett.

Andre Reed belongs in the HoF and it's a crime he's been passed over so long

I don't see how Derrick Brooks doesn't get in if Warren Sapp got in.

Absolutely agreed.

Reed > Irvin

My primary four made the finalists cut, but none of the three Broncos did. Oh well, Jones is the obvious fifth for me.

Morten Andersen
Jerome Bettis
Derrick Brooks
Tim Brown
Edward DeBartolo
Tony Dungy
Kevin Greene
Charles Haley
Marvin Harrison
Walter Jones
John Lynch
Andre Reed
Will Shields
Michael Strahan

I think a case can be made for Brooks being the best "Tampa" 2 linebacker ever. He's definitely a hall of Famer.
