Who do you got?
You think Ward was better than Moss?Players.....Lewis, Lynch and Ward are the only ones I think should go 1st ballot, with Lewis being the only shoe in.
Many of the players on that list shouldn't go in at all IMO....

Ray Lewis will get in...and given the history of the HOF, that'll be it for the defensive side of the ball. He should get in....in prison, but that's another story. The remainder will probably be offensive guys like Moss/Owens/etc. etc.
I'd personally like to see Roger Craig. For my own standards he's not a HOF'er, but given the standards set, he is. The only LT I've seen that can give Anthony Munoz a run for his money is Tony Boselli. I don't care if his career wasn't some 15 years long - when he was playing, he was the standard.
Urlacher is a HOF'er, and much closer in talent and ability to Lewis than most believe. Just because he didn't search out some camera to scream about himself or tell everybody how much of a leader he was....that shouldn't hold him out. Dawkins is another guy who should be in - definitely one of the best safeties of his era.
I liked Urlacher and Dawkins but, how long were either playing at a top level ?
What did they accomplish in that time, and how much did they mean to the teams success ???
Ray....17 yrs, 2 SB's, numerous Pro Bowls, the face of the franchise and a great leader on the field....
And did it all with 1 team, unprecedented in today's NFL....
Off the top of my head, only Tom Brady is in that same category and he's still playin'.....
Irrelevant AFAIC. This isn't about who deserves the HOF more than another....it's about who deserves to be there, period. Again...Tony Boselli's career was cut short due to injuries and he was every bit as good at LT as Ray Lewis was at MLB.
So in your mind, a player could have a 1 yr wonder moment and should be compared to someone that did it for 17 yrs ??????
