2. Howie Long. It's called the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Cheating and Cheap Shots. This piece of garbage impugns the reputation of the whole institution. Plus, he doesn't even have deserving stats. He's a guy who got in because he's in the media.
3. Ken Stabler. He's Steve Deberg in a different uniform and with less character. Decent player, not a hall of famer.
Ted Hendricks is a weird pick who shouldn't be in. But he's not the worst on this list.
Tim Brown is in the Hall of Pretty Good, but he's not the worst on this list.
Fred Biletnikoff is far less deserving than Otis Taylor. Maybe he should be in during a lean nomination year, but long after Otis Taylor.
Otto, Shell, Upshaw, Willie Brown, Guy, and Marcus Allen are deserving, though Guy is less deserving than Jerrell Wilson.
Overall, this list makes me angry. They're wasting Canton real estate that should go to more deserving players.

Agree on all points except Tim Brown. When you go 9 seasons of over 1000 yards, and almost 10, I feel like that's HOF worthy. Not to mention, he didn't have great QB play during most of his tenure until Gannon got there.
