Is only natural that the most accurate QB in football history makes the HOF.

Should be :

Brees
Kuechly
Fiitz
Anderson.
Wayne/holt

ETA; so many people in here not having kuechly in shows men are idiots just like women. 7 freaking time all pro. That’s pretty much the best LB that would be in the damn HOF

Really strong group overall. Some are no trainers, some should be in based on current criteria and at least one will get in due to 2 runs and his last name. An otherwise mediocre player.

Anderson


Explain why you have Willie Anderson over Evans? Is it just because you dont think guards dont deserve the HOF? Because Evans had a much more decorated career.

Kuechly definitely deserved to be in before Gore.

Frank Gore was a really good RB, and durable as hell, but he’s kind of like the Art Monk of RBs. How many seasons during his career would he have been considered Top 3 at his position.

Like you said, Kuechly was a five time 1st Team All Pro, so he was considered Top 3 at his position for at least a few seasons.

Hell, guys like Lester Hayes, Joey Browner and Deron Cherry should probably be in before Gore, but fans and media love them some offense, so the career offensive stat compilers get in before guys who were actually towards the very top of their position for several seasons.

Brees and Fitz are the most obvious choices.

Suggs and Jahri would be on my ballot.

Fifth spot I'd give to Woodson but could make a case for Wayne, Holt, or Kuechly.

That’s a tough one. Wayne averaged more yards per game over his career than Holt. Wayne had eight 1000 yard season, including a stretch of seven in a row. Holt had eight 1000 yard seasons as well, all consecutive.

They each had three seasons with 10 or more TD catches. Wayne overall has more yards and TDs, as he played 14 seasons instead of just 11.

Wayne had 107 yards in the Colts two SBs. Holt had 109 in just the Rams’ first SB alone, and 49 in the loss to the Patriots.

If you made me pick, I’d say Holt. But put Suggs and Kuechly, Suggs, Brees, Fitz and Evans probably deserve to be in before them this round, if only five can be chosen from the names above.

Will Brees kneel at the podium and Say Her Name?

Are you explaining his "accuracy" by the above quote?

Or dismissing it?

5x all pro at tackle is better to me than 6x all pro at guard

They both should get in. But a tackles value is so much more on the line than a guard. But I have zero issue if Evans would get in before Anderson. Just now I would view it

Both Holt and Wayne are finalist for the seventh time.

The odd thing is they are probably keeping each other out as this point, but as soon as one makes it, the other will walk in the next year.
