Harrison should get in, IMO. He had many sacks/interceptions...I don't know how many, but he was one of the few who had a lot of each.

Rodney's problem is the safety position has always been undervalued by the HOF voters and so there are a lot of other safeties as good or better than him that have not gotten in yet. I could see his rep as a dirty player hurting him with the voters, as well (not wholly dissimilar to Charles Haley, who was both a better player and has more rings than McGinest and thus far has not gotten voted in).

If we had McGinest on this team going after the QB he would create havoc. When is the last time we had a guy like that?
Rodney is in. One of the best safeties to ever play.....
As a fan I love Bruschi but is he HOF? He was average early and then a very smart player on a very good defense in his second half.....

Law...I think he has a little better chance than McGinest....

Bruschi...loved the guy and am happy he was even nominated, but he will never make it, IMO.

I think Law will get in before Harrison (even though I agree that he was a great safety). A lot of people didn't like Harrison for his cheap shots and safeties have a hard time getting in in general

McGinnest is a long shot.

While I don't necessarily disagree with the "hell, no" sentiment, Dungy will get in before any of the four players listed in the OP.

I don't see a case for Dungy making it.

First AA coach to win the SB. And the only coaches to coach longer with better winning %'s were Halas, Shula, and Paul Brown. We may not see that as that a strong case because we largely attribute it to Manning, but I believe the voters will (and do, based on him being a finalist last year).

His playoff record and the fact he won just one Super Bowl with 'the best qb on the planet ever', to me is a negative.

A valid point, but one that I suspect probably doesn't hold a ton of sway with the voters.

A great player to have on your team for a lot of reasons but I don't think he's worthy.

Dungy will get in at some point. But I think he's overrated. I like him as a TV analyst actually even when I don't agree with him. He's entertaining.

I like when he and Rodney spar a bit.

My problem with it is Rodney will admit his bias and try to see around it.
Dungy Knows he is biased and denies it even while his hatred of the Patriots is on full display. Arrogant, and he could not win the SB in Tampa, but he rode Mannings slipstream to a ring.

He's a POS douche.

Dungy gets extra points for being "a good man" We don't seem to have a lot of those around lately.
He kind of reminds me of Jimmy Carter - good man but an idiot.....

Screw Dungy...

And aren't almost all HOF voters themselves members of the media? I hate the media...
