Thanks for the list...seems like yesterday I had to watch highlight clips for the majority of the finalist. Now it’s an easy....yep, yep, nope, nope.... Seen them all.

So many great players which is one big reason why I wince when somebody says first -ballot lock or future HoFer.

Sam mills and Hines ward.... wish they were still on there.

Sam mills and Hines ward.... wish they were still on there.

Both are on the list (Should be sorted alphabetically by Last Name)

Eric Allen was good for the Eagles but not so great as a Saint.

Manning is a lock and possibly Calvin Johnson.

Manning is a lock and possibly Calvin Johnson.

I think its fair to say Manning is a lock once he retired (at that point you know the options and can count 5 heads)

Calvin I think will be waiting for awhile. He had a short career and his career numbers dont match up with the 3 other WR options on that list and I think those 3 are going to have difficulty getting in.

Manning is a lock and possibly Calvin Johnson.

I say Manning and Woodson are a lock.

I had to post a pic of one of the best MLBers to ever play the game. Here’s to Sam getting into the HoF.

 

[Merl]

Mill's has this year and 2 more to get voted in as a "modern era" player. After 2022 he moves to the veterans committee vote. Hopefully he gets in this sooner but I believe he will get in shortly after he gets moved to the veterans committee like Ray Guy did.

I'm almost old. And, I'm definitely old school.

Give me Psycho 86 (aka Hines Ward)!

 

[faceman]

It's just my opinion, but I believe Manning,Woodsen, and Johnson are locks. Imo again, I believe Jared Allen gets in, but the one
who has to wait. Kevin Greene had 160 career sacks and he had to wait a long time. Allen has 136 career sacks

 

[GeneHansen]

Manning and Woodson are locks.

Tony Boselli and Willie Anderson were freaking studs.
