HOF Candidates

A weak class.

Remember when The Immortal Roell Preston found his way on some preliminary ballot several years ago?  

Long way to go and a lot of paring and pruning to do before this gets totally serious.

I'm sure The Classy Tony Dungy will get serious consideration.  He's very classy, after all.

For me, Derrick Brooks, Rodney Harrison, and Marvin Harrison are the top candidates.  Walter Jones and Shaun Alexander might have pretty good shots as well.  Not sure about any others. 

I appreciate what Holmgren did for Green Bay and he's a very good coach.  I think he falls just outside of the HOF though. 

Nothing personal against him, but I agree that Trent Green deserves to be nowhere near that list. 

Lots of pretty to very good there, but not much HOF material. Trent Green is indeed puzzling and I don't understand Thomas or Surtain either.

The Hall of Fames have gotten diluted over the years, so I could see a handful of those players eventually getting into the Hall. But IMO, Walter Jones and Marvin Harrison are the only ones who truly deserve it.

Perhaps it's time to reduce how many players are inducted each year. 

At first glance I thought Walter Jones, Rodney Harrison and maybe Derrick Brooks first ballot. If Chris Carter and a few other great WRs were not first ballot I cannot see Marvin Harrison. He was pretty pedestrian until Payton showed up. He obviously deserves to be in eventually.
