Just stop.
You're making a fool of yourself.

First, let's go back to your claim that Coryell was somehow a driving force in the merger.

He didn't reach the professional ranks until 3 years after the merger was complete.

Now, this idea that had something to do with the QBs.

Jim Hart was drafted by the Cardinals 8 years prior to Coryell's first year as the Cardinals head coach.

Dan Fouts was drafted by the Chargers 5 years prior to Coryell's arrival in San Diego.

I don't know what you know, but I do know you don't know jack about this subject.

there is the rub. his influence was on the coaches he sent from sdsu and from his nfl staffs.

You're a ****ing moron.

Very interesting. He still doesn't get my vote and I refuse to recognize John Madden as anything but a cheating Raider, but it was worth watching. Thanks for posting it.

I'm taking Levy.

Coryell's influence on the game of football is still felt today, whether it's Jason Garrett, Norv Turner, Jim Caldwell, Sean Payton and now Chud in Indy.

Marv Levy's is not.

Yeah, but did Don compose a fight song? You have to look at the whole package of contributions.

10) Brett Favre, QB -- I think he played a long time.

1) Morten Andersen, K -- Most dominating kicker the league has ever had. Accurate, productive, and could nail the long ones.

25) Kurt Warner, QB -- Most dominant player in the league at his peak. That's what the Hall of Fame is about.

14) Joe Jacoby, T -- Most dominant run blocker of his era.

11) Kevin Greene, LB/DE -- He'd already be in if not for switching teams so often. Very consistent high-motor pass rusher.

4) Isaac Bruce, WR -- Did he make Warner or did Warner make him?

13) Torry Holt, WR -- Isaac Bruce's twin. I can't decide between them.

12) Marvin Harrison, WR -- Good player, but come on. I'd have 10,000 yards catching from Manning.

24) Orlando Pace, T -- Pretty good, I think.

19) John Lynch, FS -- Good safety. I could see him a little higher on the list. I wouldn't grouse if he got in.

6) Roger Craig, RB -- Underrated contributor to the Montana offense.

21) Karl Mecklenburg, LB -- Couldn't stand him on the field, but he very disruptive at his peak.

5) Don Coryell, Coach -- Yeah, yeah, innovator. He'd be higher if he ever won anything.

22) Sam Mills, LB -- Good linebacker. In a weak year, maybe he could sneak in, but I doubt it.

3) Tony Boselli, T -- Hall of Very Good

9) Alan Faneca, G -- Hall of Very Good

18) Ty Law, CB -- Hall of Very Good

7) Terrell Davis, RB -- System back, Hall of Very Good

17) Mike Kenn, T -- He played forever and he was good, but ... Hall of Very Good

20) Kevin Mawae, C/G -- Hall of Good

15) Edgerrin James, RB -- I know he was productive and all, but I never feared him as an opposing fan. Meh.

16) Jimmy Johnson, Coach -- You have to do more than Jimmy to get into the Hall of Fame.

23) Terrell Owens, WR -- Dominating on the field. Great stats, great player. But he made his teams worse by being such a jerk. You have to take into account his impact on the team and it was very negative.

2) Steve Atwater, S -- Very overrated. Just another safety who made some good hits. Come back when Deron Cherry and Kenny Easley are in.

8) Tony Dungy, Coach -- Why? Why? This is such a joke.

[oldman]

Favre, Jacoby, Greene, and Warner.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Atwater

[Rausch]

Greene should have already been in. His numbers speak for themselves...
