qwksilver Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 They have to stop adding 5 every year. That list should be 2 or 3 max (outside of the seniors). 3 5 1 Quote

chongli Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 Dallas vs. NY Jets could be the HOF Game, as both teams have two enshrinees. Quote

Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Barber and Zach Thomas do not belong but Hester does. Never once did I watch Barber play and think HOF. Hester is the best there ever was at his position. 1 1 1 Quote

Never once did I watch Barber play and think HOF. Hester is the best there ever was at his position. True, but since Hester primarily played special teams it’s going to be a huge uphill battle. 2 1 Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Its a shame Coryell was not enshrined a long time ago. 1 6 1 Quote
JimBob2232 Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Too many. Just dilutes the HOF. Baseball does this much better (and they are letting too many in as well). 2 1 Quote

Some here (like @GunnerBill) think Justin Tucker is a lock for the HOF. I am not sure, but he will have the best shot of any once he retires. Edited February 10, 2023 by chongli 2 Quote
Gregg Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Klecko should have been in a long time ago. Former Bill Joe DeLamielleure on Joe Klecko. 2 Quote
chongli Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 DeMarcus Ware will be enshrined this August, but is not in the Cowboy's Ring of Honor. Neither is Jimmy Johnson, also a member of the HOF. LOL! Quote
MJS Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 I actually think this is a much more deserving class than we have seen in awhile. It's a good group. 2 Quote

Yes, I have been mystified by his election also. In the many games we watched the fins with him in the lineup, I didn't see Hall of Fame football from him. 1 1 Quote

Zach Thomas was no Dick Butkus, or Jack Lambert or Ray Lewis. 1 1 1 Quote
