2018 Pro Football HOF Semifinalists Announced Tuesday

Moss and Lewis are guarantees. Owens absolutely deserves in but the media hates him so who knows.

Ray
Moss
Dawkins
Owens


Nobody argue with me. This is just my childhood ranking things.

Dawkins definitely deserves in but I could be biased because he’s my all time favorite player.

His game wouldn’t survive today’s NFL because he would’ve been kicked out constantly for fricking people’s world up.

Lewis

Then Moss

(Not a big fan of Kramer, he's had more than the benefit of the doubt and long many years and made a career out of campaigning because he played for Lombardi.) Are we going to elect every Packer from the 60's and every Steeler from the 70's?

Boselli is a lock (well should be) - the Gayle Sayers of O-linemen.

TO should be in next.

Jimmy Johnson should be in.

Brian Dawkins should be in but so should Steve Atwater.

That would be my list.

Ray Lewis
Randy Moss
Tony Boselli
T.O.
Jimmy Johnson
Brian Dawkins
Steve Atwater

Owens, Moss, Lewis, Coryell, and Kramer

Pat Bowlen needs to be in ASAP.

Dawkins is hall of good but not hall of fame.

My picks

Ronde Barber
Kevin Mawae
Brian Dawkins
Alan Faneca
Ray Lewis
Randy Moss
Terrell Owens
Brian Urlacher

It's a very loaded ballot this year. I had a really hard time leaving Jimmy Johnson off but there's a limit on eight inductees and the eight players I mentioned should be inner-circle HOFers. Every player on my list made at least three All-Pro teams which means they were considered the best player or at worst the second best player in the league at their position during a given year.

Yeah, I don't buy that argument, players should be inducted on the merits it's irrelevant what team they played for, if they're deserving they're deserving. Kramer shouldn't have to campaign but the HOF has excluded him for so long he basically has to. His career accomplishments make the case for him:
6x All-Pro
1960s All-Decade Team
Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame
he might have been the best guard in the league during his era, you don't become 6x all-pro by being a scrub

It is very loaded this year. And my list isn't much different than yours. As an LSU fan, I'd love to see Mawae in. However, I put JJ in above him, simply bc of how he rebuilt that Dallas roster and brought them Super Bowls.
