Jerry Kramer. So overdue it isn’t remotely funny.

Joe Jacoby is more than deserving and way over due.

It would be a complete shock if at least one senior nominee isn’t selected. And I never thought of Robert Brazile as a Hall Of Famer.

Jerry Kramer is going in.

WAY overdue. He and Russ Grimm belong in there together.

And - so does Brian Dawkins. Eagle or no Eagle - the man has the numbers. He belongs over both Reed and Polomalu. And they will both be going in very soon.

I think Moss was the better player. I guess you could make an argument that it's close enough to take them in order, and Owens is in his 2nd year of eligibility I believe.

In their relative primes, Moss was CLEARLY the better player. I don't see that as even close. Better speed... more athletic... way more explosive... just better all around. You can make a legitimate argument for him being the second best ever.

I'd put Moss in on the first ballot. That's a tough thing for WR's to do but I believe he was clearly good enough. I also think T.O. waits another year.

I wonder if Fitzgerald will get in on first ballot. He passed Moss up this year in yards with 1 fewer season, and if he plays one more year he will likely pass Owens in the same number of seasons for 2nd all time.

He sure should. Imagine if he would have had Warner for a few more years...

Yeah, playing on a bad team for so many years puts him behind those guys for tds, considering they had high powered offenses with Steve Young or Culpepper. So to have as many or more yards is impressive.

His number alone should get him in

Moss and Owens both belong in over Bruce, but Bruce absolutely belongs in too.
