Still... I question why Marv (retired '97) was inducted so quickly (Class '01), compared to Reeves.

Actually, the way the HOF bylaws reads, 2009 was the first class Reeves was eligible.

Who do you think he deserved to get in over: Bruce Smith, Ralph Wilson Jr, Rod Woodson, Derrick Thomas, Randall McDaniel, Bob Hayes.

The only arguable person would be Wilson Jr but he was nominated by the senior committee, IIRC.

Levy's class in 2001 was weaker, IMO: Nick Buoniconti, Mike Munchak, Jackie Slater, Lynn Swann, Ron Yary, Jack Youngblood.

I didn't consider the weakness of the Levy class... but, looking ahead, the talent pool of potential HOF'ers gets pretty deep. Hopefully, he won't wait long.

That's the problem for many guys. The next few years are STACKED.
