    Mawae and Faneca were not "just OK" they were outstanding. Faneca did tail off some toward the end of his career when he got off the Steeler juice, but I think he has enough of a resume to get in as premier guard of his era.

    Taylor may have a case, in fact I have no problem if he gets in. Thomas another guy that was very good, not great.

    So, you think these Steeler OL were all juiced up. Has there been any confirmation of that....not that it would surprise me.

    That would keep them out of Baseball's HOF....not sure about football.

    All offensive linemen are juiced up. Steelers just ahead of the curve, always have the best stuff. They practically invented it in the 70s.

      Of course, the real questions are: Why are not Marshall and Anderson in yet? Zombo might argue that they were not good enough.....

      Zombo has Marshall in bold and thinks he is the greatest slight of all players not in the HOF.

      Anderson was very good, not great.

      I agree with Zombo living in Bungle-land. Anderson suffers from Archie Manning syndrome- a lot of his teams weren't very good, and his stats don't stick out particularly.

      http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AndeKe00.htm

      Testaverde had a long, and mostly mediocre career- though he's still in the top 10 in passing yardage- does that mean he should get in?

      http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TestVi00.htm

      & looking at PFR, Rothlisberger is a lock to get in when he hangs 'em up. Him and Tomlinson are two guys that could have been Browns, and we passed on both of them in the draft.

        Well, there are a whole litany of guys that fit that mold, including Aaron Rodgers...or Joe Montana....or Tom Brady and probably Emmit Smith etc. etc. etc.

              Warner is not in the Hall yet. His greatness was confined to shorter career with some mediocrity (Giants) in the middle, so he is a good example of someone who most definitely belongs in the Hall but doesn't top any numbers list.

              If it was the Hall of Numbers, then Kenny Anderson would be in and Joe Namath would be out ... but is the Hall of Fame.

                You ask an excellent question. While I have listed the top players in the pfr career production average.....that single stat, though it somewhat tries to be that, is NOT the be all and end all of things. Warner is actually way down on the CA.....because he had a somewhat short career....12 seasons. Compare to like Vinny T.....who had a very long career....and productive in terms of his total numbers...be that CA or completions/yards/TDs etc. But no one, I believe, would put him into the HOF over Warner whose stats are much, much lower than Vinny's.

                So, I guess what I am saying is that my original post didn't ask....are these ALL of the players that warrant future HOF consideration.....it is just a specific list of players.....there are others.

                    Damn premonitions... swear I have an image of him in a gold blazer giving an inductance speech.

                      Here is a list of first time eligible players that will be up for the 2017 HOF Class:

                      Brian Dawkins DB

                      Tommie Harris DL

                      Chad Johnson (Ochocinco) WR

                      Larry Johnson RB

                      Thomas Jones RB

                      Olin Kreutz OL

                      Matt Light OL

                      Derrick Mason WR

                      Donovan McNabb QB

                      Joey Porter LB

                      Bob Sanders DB

                      Jeremy Shockey TE

                      Jason Taylor DE

                      LaDanian Tomlinson RB

                      Whines Hard WR

                      Ricky Williams RB

                      LDT, to me is the only Nicollete Sheridan in this bunch. The interesting one will be Donovan McNabb.

                      And besides Warner, here are some other current eligibles who may also be highly considered:

                      Isaac Bruce

                      Tori Holt

                      John Lynch

                      Terrell Davis.

                      Morten Anderson

                      T.O.

                      Kevin Mawae

                      Edgerrin James

                      Faneca

                      Joe Jacoby

                      Steve Atwater

                      Who among these will/should make it?

                        I have been waiting for 2 Defensive players to be elected in. One famous Nose Tackle is long over due, N.Y. JETS, #73 Joe Klecko, and our very own BROWNS LB, #57 Clay Matthews, clay should go in for a team record holder, and for longevity and years of service.

                          I have been waiting for 2 Defensive players to be elected in. One famous Nose Tackle is long over due, N.Y. JETS, #73 Joe Klecko, and our very own BROWNS LB, #57 Clay Matthews, clay should go in for a team record holder, and for longevity and years of service.

                          Problem is that neither of those guys have even made the Finalist list any time lately. While Clay was one of 108 semifinalists, Klecko didn't even make that.

                            I have a major beef with the committee who finalizes the induction into the H.O.F. I want to know why after being retired for 33 yrs, and now has passed away, Raiders QB Ken Stabler is inducted? I want to know why he is selected this year and not years ago? I feel the committee has a ignorance toward Stabler, and that's why he was always left out, but now that he passed away, oh we feel its time to put him in. BULL SHIT.

                            The man's records haven't changed since 1982.

                            I feel he has been selected in now only because he is passed.

                              Here is a list of first time eligible players that will be up for the 2017 HOF Class:

                              Brian Dawkins DB

                              Tommie Harris DL

                              Chad Johnson (Ochocinco) WR

                              Larry Johnson RB

                              Thomas Jones RB

                              Olin Kreutz OL

                              Matt Light OL

                              Derrick Mason WR

                              Donovan McNabb QB

                              Joey Porter LB

                              Bob Sanders DB

                              Jeremy Shockey TE

                              Jason Taylor DE

                              LaDanian Tomlinson RB

                              Whines Hard WR

                              Ricky Williams RB

                              LDT, to me is the only Nicollete Sheridan in this bunch. The interesting one will be Donovan McNabb.

                              And besides Warner, here are some other current eligibles who may also be highly considered:

                              Isaac Bruce

                              Tori Holt

                              John Lynch

                              Terrell Davis.

                              Morten Anderson

                              T.O.

                              Kevin Mawae

                              Edgerrin James

                              Faneca

                              Joe Jacoby

                              Steve Atwater

                              Who among these will/should make it?

                              Hines Ward should.

                              Has the stats. 2 X Super Bowl winner, 4 X Pro Bowler (3x second team), SB MVP.

                              What puts him over the top is that no one has ever played the position like he has. Wasn't the prototype WR. Never took a play off, always looking to find someones head to knock off.

                                  Recall the other night you asking your wife where the fuck she was at 2AM? I was up because I just finished with her.

                                    My wife is a hottie. She's never cheated on me and vice versa. We met in High School and married after I quit college. Shes a saint actually and I'm the luckiest guy on earth.

                                    For you to even joke about sleeping with my wife is laughable. I'm '6 - ''2 and weight 255lbs with a 4% body fat. I'm 50 yrs old too and have a perfect smile. Dude there's no way she would fuck you.

                                          My wink broke up Johnny and Coleen and sent him spiralling out of control.

                                          I wouldn't want to do that to you, you seem like a decent guy.

                                          And big.
