Apparently Donaldson thinks so ...

Jim Donaldson: Jon Morris should have been the pick for Patriots Hall of Fame | Jim Donaldson | projo.com | The Providence Journal

Donaldson probably never saw Nance play.

Donaldson is probably my least favorite local writer.. not quite sure how he continues to exist.. he tries to be "edgy" but fails miserably.

While Morris may have the 'stats',Nance will forever be the one of these two players that every older Patriots fan remembers in doing special things on the football field.

Jon Morris was a good player but for some reason had difficulty

long snapping his last couple of years with the Patriots.

Donaldson was probably three years old when Nance played.

And now as a sports writer he has the IQ of a 3 year old

I'm old enough to have seen Jim Nance play back in the days of home games at Fenway, BU, and Harvard. He was a special player and, having had seen him speak at our school, a pretty kind man who took time out to encourage city kids to do the right thing. Personally, Im thrilled he was elected. Just wish he was alive to be there for the induction.

I'd like to see more than one player elected to the HOF each year.

In a few more years all of the older players will be forgotten completely.

here are severallinemen from the early Patriots that wil have a hard tiem getting into the Patriots Ring og Jonoer . But hrtey al deserve to be there.

Theryy are Houston Antwine, DT, Jon Morris, C, Tommy Neville, OT, (Hawg Hannah's nominee) and Larry Eisenhour, DE.

There should be a special group selction for all these guys as the number who saw them play is getting smaller and the great players of this decade wil get much more attention.as they retire.

I still contend the Patriots ought to un-retire the numbers that they have retired, and simply add the retirees name in smaller type UNDER the number, in half size gold, while they keep the current players name OVER the number as is standard.
