A high-profile rookie class including Chargers linebacker Junior Seau and Rams teammates Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt are among the preliminary nominees for the 2015 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

 

The Hall announced the list of 99 players and 14 coaches who will be considered for induction among the modern-era candidates, from which no more than five will be picked.

Just missed yours. Sorry, sir, King of all Links (that is a compliment, you're the greatest). Mods can merge or I can delete.

Though I doubt any make it in this year. Still, of 99 players and 14 coaches, the franchise is well represented.

 

Our guys include...

 

Kent Hull

Fred Smerlas

Ted Washington

Cornileus Bennett

Darryl Talley

Chris Speilman*

Troy Vincent*

Steve Tasker ST/WR

Tom Flores*

Chuck Knox

Lou Saban

Marty Schottenheimer*

 

*Played on or coached the Bills but majority of success elsewhere.

 

Whole list...

I purposely whited the name out because that piece of **** doesn't deserve to be mentioned for the HOF. I also put several lines between him and much better man, as was, it was insulting.

 

Smerlas would be nice, but highly unlikely. Talley and Bennett deserve recognition for how dominant they were and how revolutionary they were in their respective positions. Bennett was a decade ahead of his position. Talley may have just been the benefactor in some occasions but his ability and instincts were phenomenal. Ted Washington may get a lot of recognition for what he did across the league but I don't think he has what it takes - it's hard for a DT to make the HOF. This may just be Taskers year. I am going to once over the list again and see.

 

Tony Boselli - interesting and possible.

Kurt Warner - I am in the minority to think he may not make it the first year. The voters are weird like that.

Terrell Davis - wow, what a talent. But, if I am going RB I would first go:

Bettis than Herschell Walker than Ricky Waters.

The other OL, there are a lot of good ones there. Pace, Tra Thomas, Tom Nalen, Nate Newton, Jon Jansen...

DL pisses me off that they lump them together. But, no one here really steps up and out.

LB- If Bruschi gets it than I will ****. He was so overhyped, but so very good, just not HOF good. Because of that I don't see the Bills LB's making it. Junior Seau should make it while Sam Mills will be forgotten. Just a lot of very excellent premier LB's here.

 

DB votes are strong but no one here really jumps off the page IMO.

 

The rest, jeesh... seeing Brian Mitchell there while Tasker is there makes me laugh. Maybe Tasker has a replacement to sit and wait forever for the coat?

 

All of these players makes me think Tasker is getting a coat and ticket to Canton. No one really amazing here, no real solid unit jumping off the page like in years gone by which will help. The voters might just be split on a lot of their own picks and somehow Tasker squeeks in
