Rickey Jackson is the best linebacker that I personally ever saw play. I think he was every bit as good as LT or any of those Giants players, and I believe that, based on skill, he definitely should be there.
With that said, folks need to come to grips with this. Rickey will never be at the podium in Canton. Ever.
He doesn't have the sex appeal that voters are looking for. When was the last time you saw him on any national pre-game shows as a guest?
This is as much of a beauty contest as it is based on skill.
You get to the HOF in the NFL by being visible, by winning in a major market or becoming a media darling.
