My vote... Â

To me, Reed, Faneca, Bruce and Gonzales go in without a doubt. All the while these guys played, and they all played long careers, you’d game plan against them as the best players on the field. Except for TG (who’s like Marino in the GOAT without a ring conversation) they were all SB champions, and that counts for something. What Tom Flores did in terms of winning at every level is something people should learn about when visiting Canton.

Also agree that Bailey is a guy I’m not sure about. Atwater was a dominate player, so was John Lynch. I feel like a case can be made for all except, I wouldn’t put in Boselli, but I wouldn’t object either.

RE: Atwater is #1 on this list for me. How the hell is he not in the hall Â

of fame. A top 5 all-time safety!

Nobody hit harder than him!

It wasn't his nor the Broncos' day when SB 24 opened up with Rice ricocheting off him near the goal line.

Gonzales, Mawae, Reed, Â

Hines Ward Â

I continue to hope Hines Ward does not make the hall. I have a case of beer bet going through 2027 that he doesn't make it (though its based on my belief he shouldn't mre so that he won't). Hopefully, the WRs like Bruce, Owens, Moss, Chad and Calvin Johnson, and others stack up and box him out.

Reed, Gonzalez, Bruce, Bailey and Hutchinson Â

Most of you guys don't know your ass from your elbow Â

George Young belongs in the HOF

I dont think you can put Law in before Atwater Â

widmerseyebrow : 1/6/2019 4:59 am : link

I'm surprised only a few here are giving him recognition. Guy is maybe a top 5 safety, definitely top 10.

Faneca was also better than Hutch.

He wasn’t on the OP’s list of 15 finalists... and frankly I would have guessed he was already in.

They don't have a lot of pure safeties in the Hall -- Kenny Easley was a veterans candidate, and that is Atwater's barometer.

Guards are very underrepresented in the Hall Â

cosmicj : 1/6/2019 10:05 am : link

Both Faneca and Hutchinson should be in. Given how Hutch was drafted and then how he was signed by the Vikings has led me to believe that he is a highly esteemed player within the NFL pro ranks - and I mean HIGHLY -
seeing whether he makes the cut this year will validate that possibility.
