quote:

He had 373 more tackles than first ballot hall of famer Brian Urlacher in 2 more games played. 5 time first team all pro and twice 2nd team. Dudes a lock
Pat Willis only played 8 seasons yet was only on one fewer All-Pro team. IMO he deserves to be in over Thomas.

At the very least there's no question he deserves to be in over Matthews Jr. and Mills, it's a travesty the latter two are even being considered.

All-Pro teams
Thomas (13 seasons) - 5 1st, 2 2nd
Willis (8 seasons) - 5 1st, 1 2nd
Mills (17 seasons) - 1 1st, 2 2nd
Matthews Jr. (19 seasons) - 1 2nd

Hell Matthews III has a better resume than his father and no one in their right mind would label him HOF-worthy. I can't believe he's a modern era finalist.

I'd love to see Boselli make it in because he's easily one of the greatest players I've ever seen but this year is probably too stacked. It's fricked up that the "1990s player with career cut short" slot was wasted on Terrell Davis.

Boselli is sort of like Gayle Sayers; people knew they were watching one of the best ever to play the game but doesn't have the longevity.

He is absolutely 100% a HOFer. More so than Terrell Davis.

Damn, this will be a strong class. It's crazy that a guy with more sacks than Lawrence Taylor doesn't even have a shot.
