Simeon Rice wasn't a semifinalist this year. IMO he's more deserving of the HOF than Lynch. I think Rice makes the semis next year but this really makes me worry about his chances because quite a few candidates were put over him who I do not believe are going to make the HOF. I think Barber gets in ...

Eddie George is the most interesting selection IMO. I have him second among that large cluster of non all decade RB's drafted in the late 90s and early 2000s behind Corey Dillon. They are mostly on the wrong side of borderline IMO but this offers insight into how the HOF voters rank this cluster of ...

I think Marshall belongs in the HOF. If you're looking at it from sacks I see your point given his total is inflated by longevity. This shouldn't matter as he is 2nd in career defensive fumble recoveries with 30. He was the NFL leader for decades. Unlike sacks these are actually turnovers. In terms ...

I just looked up Alworth and was under the impression he had better numbers in Dallas than he did. But he was number 1 of the AFL WR's and also won a super bowl(I don't think this should matter much but it clearly does). In terms of Blanda he got in mainly as a kicker and while he was good enough a...

Alworth I believe is the only one who has gotten in on almost exclusively AFL production.... Billy Shaw, who played only in the AFL (G, Bills) is in the Hall of Fame. You can win drinks with that trivia question! ;) I'm not sure what is meant by "almost exclusively AFL production"...that ...

Hennigan definitely had an impact on Blanda and Willie Brown's career and Powell should be in the HOF in my view. With both Otis and Lionel having cases as well. Powell overshadowed HOF players Maynard and Biletnikoff on his own teams. Imagine had he not gotten hurt in 1967? I still wonder how good...

There is really no reason that Wayne Milner is in Canton while Benton is not. I asked somebody (a WFT fan) I met at this year's PFRA convention about that and he told me that he thinks the reason Wayne Millner was voted into the P.F.H.o.F. was because of his performance in a championship game. This...

Sorry everyone it was late and I sometimes confuse these two players. Disregard this post. I have Howton in the HOF though he's a bit further down my heirarchy of WR's outside the Hall. Discussion of Benton is welcome as well. I take it he's on your top priority list? At WR he's near the top for su...

I just reregistered in October so I don't think i get a vote this year(haven't gotten the email) but I wouldn't vote for any of these candidates except Morgan(and this depends on the ballot and whether I'd consider him one of the top 10 which he might not be).

Yes. One of the most obvious picks of the earlier era. When Hutson reset what good receiving stats look like Benton was the only comparable receiver until the talented receiver classes of the late 1940s. Whether you agree with it or not there's usually a clear reason a candidate wasn't inducted. He...
