My initial guess for hall of fame would be

 

Kurt Warner

LaDainian Tomlinson

Tom Nalen

Alan Faneca

Jason Taylor

Steve Atwater

 

T.O. should be in soon, and assuming the Hall continues their anti Broncos bias, he'll get in over Nalen or Atwater. Probably both, though they both deserve it more.

Where's Fred Taylor at doe?

 

At least Jimmy is up there.

Never really thought of Ottis Anderson or Edge as Cardinals runningbacks. Most because Ottis won his super bowls with the Giants and Edge did his best work with the Colts.

T.O. is a top 3 WR of all time. He should've been 1st ballot tbh.

[DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241]

DONOVAN MCNABB!!! GANG GANG

[RazorStar 4,025]

if McNabb makes it, what do we change your username to?

[oochymp 2,393]

interesting to see Derrick Mason on this list

[DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241]

if McNabb makes it, what do we change your username to?

Idk, im conflicted tbh

[56AceInDaPlace 110]

Alot of WRS worthy on that list..

 

I wish McNair gets in but I doubt he ever will. Doesn't have the stats.

[WeaponX20 26]

Brian Dawkins > Steve Atwater only difference Atwater has SB rings

[RazorStar 4,025]

Dawkins should get in eventually, but man, Atwater deserves to be in by now.

[theMileHighGuy 656]

Atwater probably won't get in, TD won't get in, and honestly I'd be shocked if Nalen got in. Randy Gradishar has an argument for best LBer to ever play, and he won't get in, even as a senior vote. Pat Bowlen's owner numbers destroy Jerry Jones, but he didn't even get nominated. The HoF has a long history of bias against the small-market Broncos, and I don't expect it to end any time soon.
