However, too many people place too much emphasis on numbers and not enough emphasis on the player's impact, regardless of numbers.

It took Steve Young 3 or 4 years after replacing Montana to learn that you win SBs from the pocket, but for the entirety of his career as the QB for the 9ers, he was a dynamic playmaker, and that's why he's in the Hall.

Kurt Warner was also a dynamic playmaker, which is why he belongs in the Hall.

Marshall faulk was a dynamic playmaker, as well, which is why he's in the Hall.

Willie Roaf was an impact player at a position which is more difficult for people to really measure his impact, which is why he had to wait a year longer than he should have.

i never argued any of those guys shouldnt be there, simply the order with which they were selected.

As far your Roaf comment, it wasn't difficult for me, other Chiefs fans, or anybody that wasn't legally blind to see the dynamic impact he had on the Chiefs offense, just as great or more so than any of the above mentioned.

It's kind and generous of you to make piss poor excuses for the Hall Committee for snubbing Raof first ballot, but I think deep down you know very well that's exactly what they are - piss poor excuses. His lack of First Ballot Nomination will forever speak volumes about how imcompetent the Hall Of Fame committee and their selection process both are. And no excuses or future decisions can be made to undo the embarrassing light they shone themselves in with their first ballot snub in my mind.

Greatest run blocking LT of all time - there's no excuse...
