I don't think ANY player should ever get 100% of the vote for any HOF But that's just me I'm sure


Care to explain why?

Ruth and Gehrig didn't get 100% vote.

Manning and Brady aren't Ruth and Gehrig.

They're more Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa...not saying Manning and Brady juiced...but the game changed to favor and help and protect QBs like never before.

Montana and Unitas are Ruth and Gehrig.

Sure. A 100% HOF vote for any player says, to me anyway, that HE was the greatest player to ever play whichever sport. No flaws, no failings. When in fact every player fails and has a flaw in their play.

100% vote is a herd mentality. There is a reason these halls have a %, to account for dissenting voices, which should be welcomed.

Nothing in reality is 100% and players getting a post career award aren't either. Brady/Manning are first ballot HOF'ers, doesn't mean that EVERY voter thinks or should think that way. Doesn't make them any less of a great player if one voter says no
