      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.

          Not in yet...see Zombo's post....but note......Favre and Marvin Harrison should be taken off that list above....as they have been elected...just not inducted.

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

            Maybe it was for the Arena HoF...

              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

              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.

                  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.

                      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.

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

                                    All that said, it sounds like your height, weight and body fat got Ghoolie really excited. I knew I should have bought stock in viagra.

                                      I might have embellished a little on the body fat but nonetheless I'm in good shape don't mean to brag really. I don't drink or smoke ciggerettes that's the big key in staying healthy. I'm diabetic and have to eat healthier than the rest of my family. So the best that I'm in shape my A1C level stays near perfect so I can live. It's probably a blessing but boy howdy a cold beer and a shot of bourbon is tempting at times.

                                      Quick funny story.

                                      My wife and I were in the city (Springfield) and and turned into the dollar store. Now as perfect as I may seem on the outside I'm a terrible driver. I whipped into a Dollar Store and this group of young punks wanted a parking space and I didn't see them wanting the spot before me. They pulled behind me yelling at us. I put the car into park wondering what was going on. I step out of the car and they got a look at me at drove off. My wife smiles and says "I love you honey".

                                        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.

                                        The issue with him is his competition. There are a number of other WRs that may be equally deserving that are not in yet and that have been waiting longer. All these WRs have had to wait: Carter, Tim Brown, Reed, Harrison, etc. A couple of others that come to mind are T.O. and Randy Moss.....they will get in over Ward. Also Bruce and Holt will be in competition with him.

                                        His dirty play could even hurt him in the minds of voters.....at least delay his entry.

                                          But it wasn't dirty play. If you're old enough you'll remember tactics like chop blocking, helmet slaps, etc. were all legal before they became illegal.
