Joe Thomas and Revis were no doubt Hall of Famers in my opinion. To me there is not much difference between Zach Thomas and Ware when compared to Allen, Freeney, and Willis. They were all the same level of great to me. They should have elected either Holt (my pick), Wayne, or Johnson this year because the glut at WR is going to just get deeper.

And for Lords Sake, ELECT DEVIN HESTER. The man is greatest returner in the game’s history bar none.

I think Revis, Joe Thomas and Demarcus Ware are no-brainers.

I don't generally ever have problems with who gets in the NFL Hall of Fame. 52 players per team, per year, plus 10-15 other players bouncing on and off the roster throughout the season...I don't think it's as over-inclusive as some others claim, so I don't really have a problem with anybody else on that list.

Props to Klecko, who did a lot of the dirty work in the trenches, so that Gastineau could free-lance after the QB...even turning himself into a Nose Tackle in the 2nd half of his career.

Good to see one of the Barber Twins get in. I still think his brother Tiki is one of the most under-rated RB's in history, but I don't think he'll ever get in, despite being 15th All-Time in "Yards From Scrimmage".

Ken Riley got overlooked through most of his career. Doesn't have a lot of hardware, but was just always in the Bengals defensive backfield year after year after year....and then you look up and he's 4th All-Time in Interceptions, and will likely be there for a long, long time. Just about everybody around him on that list is either in the HOF, or is one of the worst offenders of the "morality clause" in any sport (I'm looking at you Darren Sharper).

I thought Air Coryell was already in.

Well Said

[mortimer brewster]

Chuck Howley was a very solid linebacker on Tom Landry's doomsday defense of the 1960's and 1970's.

He is well known for being the only player from a losing Super Bowl team to be voted MVP. The vote was conducted late in the Super Bowl game when the Cowboys were winning.

In the Closing Minutes Colts LB Mike "Mad Dog" Curtis made the game changing interception that resulted in the Colts winning the Super Bowl.

Curtis should have been the MVP. He was every bit intimidating as Nitsche and Butkus. With this award on his resume he should have been elected 2 decades ago. He is largely forgotten now.

Zach Thomas is ust a small Chris Spielman....

Willis in his prime...which was his entire career...I will take him over any of the other LB in that in that group

[gonefishin]

Being a former SAN DIEGO Chargers fan, I was very happy to see Don Coryell finally get it. I do think his method of "Let it Fly" football had a great effect on offensive football.

P.S. Yes, I gave up on them when they drifted up to LA.
