Thats the thing about Shaw. With the HOF already recognizing players like Lavelli, Speedie and Motley's dominant play in the AAFC, why not recognize Shaw as well ? His 49ers pushed Cleveland to be a great team and he lost the final AAFC Championship to them in 1949. He created the million dollar bac...

Its simple ... he is not playing behind Donald anymore and since signing that fat contract, doesnt have the hunger to excell. Many players have gone through this, which is a shame. The Raiders could release him.

I believe so. Revis will get in but not first ballot. Had too mercenary an attitude but cant blame him for wanting to get paid. It worked for Deion Sanders.

Good call Reaser ...

Thats how the NFL used to be up until 1967.

I didnt like changes in 1990 either.

To me, another deserving older coach is Buck Shaw who beat Lombardi for a championship and coached a lot of HOF players. I like Blanton Collier as well, despite Art Modell's drama.

Not too many surprises but was hoping Eric Allen, Steve Tasker, Hines Ward, Darren Woodson and Patrick Willis would advance. Young didnt make it either. At least Mills and Matthews will be heard.

He has a case but hurt his chances leaving the Rams after the SB win. At least his team had a defense. The 2000 Ram defense stunk. Did a good job with the Eagles and Chiefs but might have done better if he wasnt wearing down his players in practice. He has to be laughing at todays football. Still ho...

I do believe Henry if not Kamara could get elected but it all depends on his health and hunger after signing his big contract. With a 2000 yard season on his resume, sky is the limit but we will see. Elliot for Dallas may already be done but hopefully, he can become great again but his line has to s...

I believe Big Ben, Brady, P Manning, Brees, Rodgers, Russell and possibly Mahomes, will be elected.

I dont believe Romo, Rivers, E Manning, Ryan, Newton or Stafford make it ...

Still hard to believe Lewellen hasnt been elected. Maybe Dilweg cancels him out but 51 TDs in the 30s ?
Not to mention possibly the first great or at least most successful punter of that era ?
