Chris Hanburger played in the Super Bowl. He helped his team become NFC champions.
I guess we should tell Dawson, Bell, Lanier and the rest of the Canton Enshrined Chiefs that being chosen for the HOF really means squat. It's all just politics.

Quite frankly, I don't believe that Dawson does belong in the HoF.
He was a very good QB, but as I said earlier, he wasn't as good as John Hadl.
He, and the Chiefs, won the SB because of a great defense that should be considered among the top 5 all time.
I don't need others to tell me when a player is great.
I can see it with my own eyes.
The Hall can be used as a measuring stick, but it should not be the only measuring stick.
