Vinitieri would have to break the mold of no kickers (except Jan Stenarud) in the hall. He certainly has his supporters, but I still think he is a longer than long shot.

He is as dead mortal a lock as anyone on the list, other than Brady. Statistically he's one of the all time great running backs.

What? No one wants to argue about Drew Bledsoe? Man, things have sure changed a lot in the past 6 years...

mostly because he went so far down so fast

Harrison, Vinateri and Law all have a better chance at getting in than Corey Dillon. I don't like Dillon's chances at all. He has a 20-25% chance.

so let me get this straight--your dreadful season is over, so you've decided to pollute our boards?

super!

It really is amazing to have a dynasty over a 5 to hopefully 10 year period and have only one player that is a mortal lock to go in the HOF with that jersey on. Although I think BB and Mr Kraft will get in also.

If Mankins continues to play the way he has, I think he'll be a lock. He's fast approaching the John Hannah level of play. Dan Koppen could earn a spot.

Corey Dillon should make it because of all the seasons he spent in Cincy putting up good numbers for junk teams.

I think that Harrison will get in, but on the veterans committee, not on initial balloting.

At least from what we hear, there is not one player that would vote for him.

Vinatieri might go but he really, really shouldn't. I'd put him behind Morten Andersen, Gary Anderson and Jason Elam in his own generation and I doubt all 3 of them are making the Hall.

He's played two seasons. With this line of logic, there are 60 current HOFs playing right now in the league. That must be some kind of record.
