Boselli is the only Has To Be In for me. There’s a lot of Hall of Very Good on this list not Hall of Fame but that’s been the case with the NFL seemingly letting everybody in for quite some time now.

 

[Balljim55]

Why bring up last year’s list? 8 of those guys got elected into the hall last year

Yes... a bit confusing.

@fightinfunbags - Boselli did get in with 2022 class

Was happy to see LeRoy Butler finally get in.

Idiot alert.
NFL is now the NBA

Idiot alert.

The NBA doesn’t even have a Hall of Fame. What are you talking about? Basketball has the Naismith Hall of Fame that includes men and women, international players, and college players. This has little to do with the NFL Hall becoming diluted through the years with marginal adds. That’s why I have referred to it as the Hall of Very Good over the Hall of Fame. You’ve only pushed back on what I’ve said because it came from me. Maybe it would just be easier to tell me flat out that I’m living rent free in your ten cent head instead of proving that every day by hunting down my posts.

 

[PDay8810]

Chris Weber belonged in the BASKETBALL HOF.

Just helping you prove your point. Carry on

 

[PDay8810]

Oh...and attention seeking opinions do get in my head. You work OT in this department and moving up the all time SportsHoopla list with your every post.

Spin spinner...the fun is just starting

 

[fightinfunbags]

Oh...you do get in my head.

Yeah that's pretty obvious at this point.

 

[PDay8810]

That a boy coach...great comeback

#WINNING

 

[PDay8810]

Let's get this back on track and give coach something to argue
This time:

Joe Thomas
Darrell Revis
D Ware
Willie Anderson
Darren Woodson

Oh, and we can wait for Howley to die but he was Hall of Famer for sure

[Niner Outlaw]

I'd go with:
Joe Thomas
Darrelle Revis
DeMarcus Ware
Patrick Willis

Willis is a Hall of Very Good for me. Only played like 7 years.

Lol rams fans living in last year

Willis is a Hall of Very Good for me. Only played like 7 years.

Boselli only played 7 seasons (91 games). To compare him and Willis.

TB was a 5x pro bowler & 3x all pro

PW played 8 seasons, 112 games, 7x pro bowler & 5x all pro

This is old school but I think former Dolphins FS Jake Scott should be in the HOF. 9 seasons, 5x pro bowler, 2x all pro, S.B. VII MVP and 2x champ.

I stand corrected. I thought Boselli played longer than that.

Maybe Boselli's career was cut short due to injury? Don't really remember his career.
