John, I thought of Cal Hubbard and Ed Heally right away. What was the criteria to make this list?

Re: Joe Thomas "honors"
No question that Joe Thomas (8/10/10s?) has the honors and then some to make the HoF, and likely first ballot. Definitely all time elite level numbers at his position. He’s played 11 years now, which is a sufficiently long career, plus he made the pro bowl every season until this year.
Jason Peters (4/9/10s?) will probably have no trouble getting in as well, though probably not first ballot unless he’s the best first time eligible player in a weak year. The other OT very likely to make the 10s all decade team is Tyron Smith, and at 5/5/10s? after playing seven seasons, he’s well on his way — one or two more pro bowl nods and 3-4 more seasons total should make him a lock.

To me, Joe Thomas is a first ballot hall of famer, and one of the best Tackles I've seen in a long time.

I agree. He's done it on a real bad team, too, which also says that he's been awesome. JT belongs in Canton.James wrote:To me, Joe Thomas is a first ballot hall of famer, and one of the best Tackles I've seen in a long time.
