I was shocked Roaf wasn't first ballot. He is arguably the best or 2nd best offensive tackle of all-time.

That is unbelievable. The fact that Tim Brown and Chris Carter can't get into the Hall is a joke.

That entire committee should have their asses beat.

The fact that Kevin Greene isn't in already makes the HOF a complete joke. He was the 2nd best pass rusher of his era what more could it possible take to get in?

Yeah, what did those two other do other than set all of the receiving records Jerry Rice would break and be one of the best receivers of the 1970s? I think its outrageous Tim Brown and Cris Carter aren't getting in, but Monk and Stallworth certainly belong too. It was criminal how long it took Monk to get in the Hall, and in fact, his struggles to get in show how biased the voters are against receivers. He only was the first player to have 100 catches in a season, set the record for consecutive games with a catch, and was a key member of a three-time Super Bowl champ. Yeah, what a crap resume.

The NFL HOF is a joke. I am glad Willie finally got in but he should never had to wait a 2nd yr.

I know Carter deserves to be in and all, but I'm glad he didn't make it in. He's such a cocky egomaniac so I know this kills him more than it does most.

My point isn't they shouldn't be in but guys with better numbers who were more dominant should be. Carter and Brown almost double up Stallworth's numbers.
