    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.

    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

      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.

          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.

                    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.

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

                            You don't have to worry about Stink - he's pretty devoted to Vag. It gets really creepy when they get in the same threads.

                            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".

                                Derrick Mason WR

                                Donovan McNabb QB

                                Joey Porter LB

                                Bob Sanders DB

                                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.

                                    Wasn't dirty play? "Get your Head on a swivel" was made a term by Hines Wards illegally blindsiding DB's in the head or ear-hole. Queen of illegal screens & picks too. Hell yes I'd take a Ward as a Brown..

                                      He played dirty. His fellow players voted him the dirtiest player in the league. I will leave it to their judgment.

                                      But, as I said, while I do think he will get in....he may have to wait a while. Carter waited like 10 years, no?
