2. He played in KC if he had play on the east coast he'd likely be in..

3. He's dead, it hurts that he can't campaign for himself. Harry Carson essentially bitched his way in.

Also there is the argument that he was a "pass rush" specialist,that he didn't play the run well,which i think is a load of bull

my gf just went nuts seeing adam crossett kicking a fg, she has known him since he was a kid and her parents live down the street from his parents. i had to tel her hes likely to get cut

Interesting. I didn't realize that. His abscence from the hall makes even less sense to me now.

If Mecca is right about the reasons he listed, there shouldn't even be a HoF, imnsho. Derrick was a game changer, period. Yes, there were spots where he was invisible, but Jerry Rice dropped some sure TD catches, too.

I would love to see Gretz's presentation to the voters. I think it's been reported that he never changes it from year-to-year.

DT wasn't simply a game changer, he was a guy that changed the culture of this organization singlehandedly.

He single handedly destroyed Ryan Leafs career on that rainy game

The NFL HOF has always rewarded good players on great teams more than great players on bad-good teams...

A good player from a 3 or 4 time superbowl winner will get in before a great player on a team that never won, look at Lynn Swann his numbers are pedestrian.

Finally,the Hefty Lefty is in...
