I think he will, but i dont know about first ballot? There is starting to be a backlash against recievers of the past 20 years who have played in the "pass happy era".

Andre Reed is one of them too.

Its too bad about Terrell Davis. He honestly needed about 1 or 2 more strong seasons and he most likely would have been 1st ballot.

Carter's not first-ballot. I think this is his third or thereabouts. He should get in.

I agree about Davis. 2 more strong seasons and I think he could've squeaked in. His problem is a short career and an offensive system where Olandis Gary and Mike Anderson were able to get 1,000+ yards after he was hurt.

If he gets in, Priest Holme also deserves it, and one of my favorite dark horses, William Andrews of the Falcons, deserves it. And all three of those guys don't deserve it.

Not sure, but isnt there something of a bias against defensive players in the Hall as well?

Guys like Aeneas Williams, Kevin Green, Doleman, Randle will have a tough time getting in.
