MY VOTE not what I think WILL happen

Steve Young
Dan Marino
M. Irvin
R. Dent
A. Monk
D. Thomas




here's the deal..these are the only guys I've seen play

[CC]

Marino
Young
Thomas
Irvin
Dent
Greenwood, just cause I like him.

[maddog60]

Haven't not seen most of these guys play, and not knowing their true impact on the game as a result, I'd have to with:

Marino
Young
Irvin.

If I did the research, I suspect from my limited knowledge that Thomas and Monk would make my ballot as well.

[goleafsgo96]

You gotta have the 5th all time leader in receptions on there... at least thats what monk was at one point this year...

[no1cowboysfan]

Marino
Young
Monk
Irvin...

[mutantseabass]

Young
Marino no question about either of these.

Thomas.....RIP...Guy would just terrorize qbs.
Monk.....come on its about time that someone showed the guy some respect, he is one of the best WRs ever and never gets recognized by the HOF......i do believe that both of these guys will get in too.

IMO, players should go into the HOF when they have, over an extended period of time, demonstrated an ability above and beyond their peers, known sometimes as 'gamebreakers'.

I'll bet the farm that NOBODY here has seen Benny Friedman or Fritz Pollard play at all, let alone see enough film of theirs to render a competent, informed decision of wether or not they belong in the Hall of Fame. That being said, I would 'guess' they should not go, based on the 'assumption' that if they didn't make it by now, they don't belong.

Here is my humble list, with quick explaination:

1.) Dan Marino O.K., I lied. No explaination needed here.

2.) Steve Young If he didn't win the SB, would he be on everyones list?

3.)L.C. Greenwood He was on the Steel Curtains Defensive line, for Gods sake!

4.)Art Monk oh, those hands...

5.)Richard Dent defensive terror tutored by defensive genius Ryan

6.)Michael Irvin yes, he pushed off of CB's, yes, he did enough coke to kill a small horse, but he was pure domination.


Bob Kuechenberg should go in soon also, as should Derrick Thomas.
