Cleveland screwed itself out of the Modell Browns. Municipal Stadium was a nightmare for a couple of decades and everyone knew it. I'm opposed to public funding of stadiums for the most part, but Cleveland knew what was at stake. The issue didn't just suddenly sneak up on them.

Shields belongs as do a lot of the others listed.
Doubt if he makes it though, OGs never get in. FFS the last time I checked Jerry Kramer wasn't in the HOF. DeLamellure and Shell are the only ones I can think of ,off the top of my head. I'd vote for him if it were up to me. Really doubt it though.

Ray guy wasn't even the best punter from his era: Jerrel Wilson was.

So true

I nominate Todd Haley.

It should be hard to ignore 12 pro bowls and never missing a game.

That said, I'm going to be seriously upset if they pass him over for Walter Jones.

Shields will eventually get in but it may take five years, as it did for DT.

The Hall of Fame voting process seems to be a very strange process, so it may take the voters hearing about Shields achievements over and over.

huh?

I had Greene instead of Bettis and no Ray Guy.

Not sure why but I thought Roger Craig was already in the HOF.

You would think so wouldn't you! In a just and fair world you would be right.
Guards and centers have been almost totally ignored by the HOF voters. If they do their job well, NOBODY mentions them in the News, and look who the voters are. The sporting press from the East and west coasts.

If your team and players have been toiling away in a small market city out here in fly over land they'll probably never make it!

I can name you at least 6-10 players from the Chiefs, Raiders,(puke), Cards and Broncos who should've been in the HOF for decades.
