2014 Semifinalists for the Hall of Fame
 

You can add Claude Humphrey and Ray Guy as the senior candidates.

This seems like a pretty weak pool to me. Will Shields should go in this year without a doubt.

The Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee chose the 25 modern-era semifinalists from the previously announced list of 126 nominees.

Four first-year eligible candidates – linebacker Derrick Brooks, coach Tony Dungy, wide receiver Marvin Harrison, and tackle Walter Jones – are among the 25 semifinalists being considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2014.

In addition to the first-year eligible nominees, two other previously eligible candidates, coach Jimmy Johnson and guard Steve Wisniewski, made it to the semifinalist list for the first time. Each of the remaining individuals on the Selection Committee’s list has been a semifinalist at least once prior to this year.

Guys that certainly deserve it -

Brooks
Greene
Strahan
Tagliabue
Coryell
Anderson

Not saying they are all first ballot or will go. just IMO

It's time for Bettis to go in.

His style wasn't sexy.

Agreed.

Every year that goes by his odds go down because people forget how dominant he was.

No HB ever initiated more contact, and won, than Bettis.

No HB was ever as effective at demoralizing a defense as Bettis in his prime. He'd be held down, 2.2 ypc, then he'd bust a hole he was supposed to be too bit or too slow to hit and run over 2 or 3 guys.

In the 90's Bettis WAS the fantasy HB. He'd get a guaranteed 80+ a TD. That was the rock you based a team on...

Kevin Greene not getting in already is ****ing reeruned.

I'm not even going to pimp that. I'll assume he's in...

Aeneas Williams and Shields will get pushed back because of other guys who should have already made it in.

Even though they both deserve it...

this.

Tim Brown
Paul Tags
Terrell Davis
Ray Guy
Karl Mecklenberg

Strahan, Shields, Jones, Coryell, Brooks.

Senior: Ray Guy.

LMAO

Those guys before Super Bowl winners Brooks and Strahan?

No.

At no time was/is Bettis a HoF runningback.

No, not before Strahan, Jones, Shields, Don ****ing Coryell or Derrick Brooks.

I'm sorry but Terrell Davis is not HOF worthy in todays standards, imo.

There's only ONE kicker in the NFL HOF.

And Tagliabue can **** himself.

Tim Brown before Andre Reed?

ROFL

This isn't about Super Bowl wins. If it is...then a number of people need to come out

Tim Brown - The second best WR of his era with #1 being the GOAT
Paul Tags - The best Commish the league has ever had
Terrell Davis - Dominated the league and was the best runningback in football for 3 straight years with Barry Sanders in the league
Ray Guy - Should already be in, one of the best punters in NFL history
Karl Mecklenberg - okay...this one is pure bias, but he was a great linebacker in the league
