Is it really a given?

Never won a Super Bowl. Was lousy in the playoffs. Only really coached offense. Do you make the HOF for being an innovator/outstanding coordinator on one side of the ball? Sure, he left an impact on the way offenses are run, but does his innovation overcome his lack of accomplishment, especially when he competes against head coaches who've won Super Bowls?

Tomlinson is the most deserving of the bunch

Tomlinson wouldn't have the success he had without Don Coryell.

Terry Metcalf, James Brooks, Emmitt Smith, Wilbert Montgomery, Priest Holmes, Marshall Faulk and more - All guys that benefited from playing in the Coryell before LT.

LT belongs but Coryell should have been in long ago...

LT
TO
Coryell (overdue)
Jason Taylor
Dawkins
Andersen

I really hate agreeing with you. But this time, you're right. Shanarats offense made average backs look better than they were. Davis was not a HOF back. It is an insult to every running back in the HOF not named Bettis that he is even a finalist.

BryanBusby 01-03-2017 10:44 PM
Davis didn't perform long enough at a high level to be a HoFer imo

jjchieffan 01-03-2017 10:46 PM
I voted Warner and Coryell right away, then struggled for the remainder. I went with Tomlinson, Dawkins, and Isaac Bruce to make it 5.

I guess Eric Warfield just missed the cut

Warner is a consensus HOF and top of the class. Jason Taylor may have played longer and piled up good stats, but he was a stat padder.

Tomlinson seems pretty obvious.

He padded it enough to be be in the mix and I can't imagine an entire class with just one defensive player.

DaneMcCloud 01-03-2017 10:52 PM
If Davis can't get in, neither can Boselli.

IMO, Davis belongs.

Being in a weak class, maybe so. I don't think it's obvious. He benefited from a ridiculously RB friendly era. Curtis Martin didn't get in on the first try. Roger Craig for some insane reason isn't in at all. These are guys who grinded in an era that was really tough for RBs and they won Super Bowls.

Very interesting.

I hate to admit it, but there's a whole raft of NFC safeties that I can't distinguish between. I'm pretty sure they were all the same guy who kept getting traded and changing his name: Brian Dawkins, Leroy Butler, Darren Woodson, Eugene Robinson, and so on. I remember Lynch differently because he had a reputation as a hitter, but otherwise I'd probably throw him into that crowd, too.

I would take Law or Lynch over Taylor.

Both those guys made a clear mark on the league. And Law was an elite playoff defender. Taylor didn't leave any mark. If Chris Doleman and Kevin Greene took a million years to get in, Taylor shouldn't get in first year.
