guru · 01-11-2013, 10:12 AM

Jerome Bettis, Cris Carter, Bill Parcells, Art Modell, Warren Sapp, Michael Strahan

That is all

popmaz · 01-11-2013, 10:13 AM

I think Shields, Ogden, Williams and Robinson should be elected. Not sure any of them will be though.

deltapi1049 · 01-11-2013, 10:16 AM

This has to be Carter's year. Has to be. Better not get into a Blyleven situation.

HBMC · 01-11-2013, 10:20 AM

Awesome class with lots of qualified candidates. I would agree with any of them getting in.

Ray27Ray52 · 01-11-2013, 10:28 AM

All of them are HOF worthy however they need to start with Carter and Brown. It is an absolute disgrace that they are not already there.

While I agree with this statement, I would like to point out that the logjam at wr begins with Andre Reed. I believe all 3 are deserving, but I seem to be one of the few that would put Reed in before CC or Brown.

TheFrenzy · 01-11-2013, 10:37 AM

The most deserving is Larry Allen. One of the top 3-5 linemen in the history of the game.

Then it should be Modell, Parcells, and Carter. Four entry class.

crabbygraphs · 01-11-2013, 10:41 AM

Jerome Bettis (RB)
Cris Carter (WR)
Michael Strahan (DE)
Bill Parcells
Edward DeBartolo Jr.

fert360 · 01-11-2013, 10:44 AM

No Terrell Davis

. I agree with crabbygraphs though

cc80man · 01-11-2013, 10:48 AM

Carter not being in is a joke, when he retired he was #2 in all categories all time.

I can't really disagree with you. Andre was a beast. 950 catches for over 13000 yards. What more does a fella need to do to get some HOF love?

dfr52 · 01-11-2013, 10:53 AM

The log jam at WR is terrible, at this point just put all 3 in this year so the voters can concentrate on other positions.

addicted36 · 01-11-2013, 10:56 AM

Larry Allen (G/T), Tim Brown (WR), Cris Carter (WR), Art Modell (owner), and Bill Parcells (coach) get in.

Play a different position, WR and Safety are two of the worst spots for HOF consideration.

^this...........

Drdduet · 01-11-2013, 11:01 AM

Curly Culp really needs to get in IMO. Strahan and Haley for sure, and as others have said Brown, Carter, and Reed need to get in--they deserve it. This year's list of candidates is legendary. I can see some very deserving candidates not getting in because of splitting of the votes.

dfr52 · 01-11-2013, 11:03 AM

Allen and Ogden are near locks based on their career accolades and both played on Super Bowl winning teams. Strahan and Sapp are good possibilities as well. Outside the 2 OL I have no idea how the voters will go.

I agree on Culp, I hope the voters recognize his contributions as one of the first great nose tackles.

I'll add G and TE to that list as well.

mrveggieman · 01-11-2013, 11:07 AM

All of them are good canidates. Unfortunately once again a deserving canidate will be left off this year.

panamamyers · 01-11-2013, 11:31 AM

Allen has to get in.
I hate the Cowboys, but if he does not get in on the first ballot then we need new voters. He is up there with Hannah, Munoz and Matthews.
