Chris Carter? John Randle? It will be very difficult for DT to get in, its very sad. Its been to long, hes arguably the greatest Chief of all time, next to TG, Lenny, Buck, yet they still wont put him in.

Cris Carter should, but he's not a lock. John Randle and his 7 pro bowls, 556 tackles and 137.5 sacks in 14 years should not get in before DT's 9 pro bowls, 642 tackles and 126.5 sacks in 11 years.

Was DT still playing when he died or had he retired?

Gretz needs to get the hell out and let someone else make the case for DT.

this. Costas (STL Native), Bernie Michlaz (STL Post) could do a much better job.

DT had not retired.

Very tough class this year as we discussed yesterday in the DT video tribute thread.

At first I didn't think he would make it this year, but you know, I think he makes it the year that we expect it the least.

I have been seeing the #58 associated with everything I do the last 2 weeks. I think it's some kind of omen.

I have also started to hear some of the voters mention DT and that they think his time is near.

This will be the year DT makes it. I think momentum is in his favor.

Also I was reading something the other day where Sharpe said he doesn't think he will make it. That kind of shocked me considering he has 3 SB rings and had the receiving and TD records until Tony passed him.

Do you think Shannon Sharpe was being serious, or was it a horse's ass attempt at being humble? (decoder ring needed to understand him)

Every time I have heard him discuss it on the Sirius channel, he goes into this painful dialogue about how great he was.

I agree, but he is an expansion team owner, 1960.

I guarantee you that the voters from Denver/KC/Oakland/San Diego/Seattle vote for him every year.

Bruce Smith and Rod Woodson are the only locks to make it, IMHO.

Hope not but your right about Gretz.
