Is Warner going to the HOF as a Card or a Ram?

Both...and as a Giant. Unlike the baseball HOF, they don't do plaques/statues with team caps, logos etc. on them for their busts for the HOF.

I thought it was as an Iowa Barnstormer. 😕

No actually a SB Ram.

Wasn't crazy about Davis, but don't mind him making it. Taylor and Jerrah on the other hand...

I think Taylor deserves it....but he is the first Zip ever to make it (and I am a Zip)...so I may have some prejudice. Agree on Jerry

Barber and Seymour look a little out of place in that list. Stevie Hutch was the bomb at OG.

There will be a backlog of O Linemen and WRs next year:

WR: Bruce, Owens, Moss

Hutchinson: Jacoby, Faneca, Mawae, Boselli, Hutchinson

DBS: Barber, Dawkins, Lynch

Probably no QBs though..now that Warner is in. In fact there may not be a HOF QB go in for 4 years....when Peyton is eligible. Unless the Senior committe selects someone, like they did with Stabler last year. (Ken Anderson?).

No QB for 4 years will open up spots for other positions.

Terrell Davis has been a cause of mine ... Glad to see it happen.

In reality, all of the 15 player finalists can be seen as worthy. I note that out of like 4-5 O linemen, none made it.

Only thing Jerry Jones did was make a lot of money for the other owners. Here's his contribution- $$$$$$$. How 'bout those billion dollar stadiums and $9 beers? Screw that shit. I've said for a long time there should be a separate wing for owners- just like the Baseball HOF has a wing for contributors and writers.

Right. Really. What besides greed and money has he really contributed to the game?

(and FYI Larry....he was put in under the "Contributor" category....and how did he get put in over Tagliabue?)

I would have thought that the sports writers who did the voting on this would be more discerning.

Sorry Gip. Clay- 1978-1996. Steelers 2 SB wins and only 4 losing seasons in that time frame. 🙂

I said "MOST" of that time, they were mediocre. They won when Clay was in his first and second years. And while they may have not had losing seasons, they lingered around .500.
