Not saying he isn't. But not over those guys.

What's Charles Haley's biggest accomplishment? Being part of 2 dynasty's...congrats, put Kevin Faulk in too I guess

Willie Roaf is the only slam dunk HOF'er from this group, but I would have Martin, Brown, Carter, and maybe Greene

The 2 reasons I've always heard on Greene not being in are:

1) He was on too many teams
2) He was a one trick pony

I think both are horseshite personally...

The guy was a game CHANGER. IF you knew ANYTHING about football he was a KEY FACTOR in the Sb's he was in. Just sayin.

Too many teams argument is obviously ridiculous

1 trick pony? Ehh, I can kinda see this. Seeing as how his trick was fricking sacks though, that kinda makes up for it

I am guessing Parcells made a few enemies in his time

Kevin Faulk is arguably the best 3rd down back in NFL history and may have 4 rings before the weekend is over, but specialists will not sniff the HOF anytime soon.

I think Martin deserved to get in, Dawson was a hell of a center, Roaf is easily a top 5 lineman all-time if not top-3. I am shocked Carter didn't get in with 130 TDs.

Kennedy and Doleman were good players, but I don't know about HOF worthy. Never saw Butler play...

You could say that for a few in the HOF.

Unless he's a straight up a-hole to the voters, there's no reason why he shouldn't be in. And even some assholes are in the HOF...

Sad but true.

NOT over Tim Brown. IMO.

Again. I agree with this. He was the Hannah of his generation.

Who are the Hall of Famers from other Louisiana schools?

I know Grambling has Willie Brown in there.

Beyond happy that Curtis Martin got in, my favorite jet of all time. He was most of our offense for years
