I miss me some Will Shields

Gonzo has media appeal. Moreso than the Chiefs or any other recent Chiefs player, anyhow.

I realize that QB and RB are sexier positions, and I don't know for sure, but I'll bet there are WRs in the hall with worse receiving stats than Gonzo. If he continues to pad his stats for two or three more years, his odds are good that he'll get in on first ballot, in my view.

As for Willie, the homer in me says he deserves it, but those are long odds.

No better example of the fact that the NFL HOF is a team sport than Lynn Swann.

That's a safe assumption, Mr. FAX.

The game wasn't as receiver-friendly when I was young, and the TE didn't exist as a realistic passing threat.

Newsome, Winslow and Gonzalez, in that order, in my opinion these days. Sharpe follows Gonzo, but Sharpe gets into the Hall before Gonzo.
