first glance thoughts: megatron and charles woodson should be locks.

i'd like to see zack thomas get in, and frankly randall cunningham should be in there for the 1990 season alone.

also brian mitchell is either 2 or 3 on the career all purpose yardage list and should be in. 

jake delhomme though? seriously?

also, my bad, this should say 2021.

I still can't believe Henry Ellard isn't in. lol, Jake Delhomme, he was a solid QB for like a 5 year stretch, but thats crazy.

First of all, any player who turns the ball over six times in one game should be disqualified from the Hall of Fame. Yes, that means Peyton Manning is out. At least he'll always have Nationwide.

Mike Alstott not being in by now is absolutely criminal. Olin Kreutz and Jeff Saturday deserve to be in. I personally think Donald Driver should get in, but I'm biased, and also the Hall of Fame fucking hates receivers for some reason, so it won't happen. Besides, he won't get in before Hines Ward, Torry Holt, or Reggie Wayne.

Gary Anderson deserves to get in because of his perfect season alone (never mind that miss in the playoffs that doesn't matter). Plus he retired as the all-time leading scorer, and he played for like 37 seasons. Throw him in.

Herschel Walker is a tough one. Stats aren't really there. No ring. But he was a tremendous dual-threat guy. I don't thiiiink I would vote for him, but I could be swayed.

Peyton Manning isn't a hall of famer? what? Dude has one horrendous game and that disqualifies his whole career? Also just out of curiosity what game did he turn the ball over 6 times? I don't doubt you just wondering. Maybe his last year Im guessing when he was unbearable to watch.

there are a couple on this list, especially the offensive linemen, who should be in already. but yeah, ellard was a statistical beast in the late 80's to early 90's. he, holt, wayne, and ward all have hof caliber receiver numbers.

I was joking, my dude.

Also, Peytonio's 6-picker was actually in 2007 against San Diego.

He played in such a different league too. Agreed on the rest. I'm thinking Megatron will get in too, besides Jerry Rice, I've never seen a more dominant receiver.
