Different era, multi-purpose player.
Davis was a very good running back for a few years but injuries limited his potential. That doesn't make him a HOFer, especially when compared to dominating players with longevity (Jones, Shields, Reed). |

Davis was the greatest in the league. Its okay...you can admit it. Just like I can say that Shields was a great lineman. But any great RB, like Davis, should be ahead of any lineman.

Sayers shouldn't have been either. Sorry, but the Hall of Fame requires a great peak and significant duration. Besides, I'm not willing to take Davis's raw production at face value anyway. As Rainman noted, the dropoff from Davis to Olandis Gary and Mike Anderson was pretty nominal. Davis isn't anywhere close to a HoF runningback. 3 seasons don't get you into the HOF and the only people that think it should are Broncos fans.

Derrick Brooks
Marvin Harrison and Kevin Green are the stand-outs from that list for me. *edit*...Andre Reed (didn't see him the first time through)

My thoughts on deserving guys (in order):
Will Shields - Come on. 12 pro bowls and you've made the guy wait for two years, and you let that slug Jonathan Ogden push ahead of him last year. No-brainer as the #1 pick. Morten Andersen - Arguably the best kicker in the history of the NFL. The dominant long-range kicker of his era and scored a zillion points. Joe Jacoby - I wasn't a Redskins fan, but this guy was the best lineman of his era. Absolutely dominant run blocker. Kevin Greene - Time to let this guy in. Aeneas Williams - I think he deserves it. I screwed up and didn't vote for him, but I'd add it. Guys who I think will go in, but not this year: Brooks, Tagliabue (it's a given), and Marvin Harrison (who might be first ballot if he didn't engage in gunplay). Oh, and add Coryell into that group as a late edit. In a weak year, Charles Haley, Walter Jones, and Roger Craig might slip in, with Jones being the best of that group. None of the others should make it. On the senior ballot, I think it's time to put Guy in. I don't think he was a better punter than Jerrell Wilson, but Guy has the reputation and should break the apartheid on punters in the HoF. Claude Humphrey was very good, but I don't think he's a HoFer.

I think HOF Running backs are few and far between any more.

Yeah, it's hard for me to put second-tier backs alongside guys like Barry Sanders or O.J. (pre-murder) or Walter Payton or even Tony Dorsett. As good as they were, you can't look at a guy like Bettis or Davis and say that they're in the same category.

Can't believe Ray Guy isn't already in it.
Tony Dungy? Are you kidding me? That guy was a pretty good "players" coach", but never to the level of a HOF coach. |
