Finally, nonplayers. Bill Belichick definitely belongs, but I have a feeling a lot of selectors will play get-even by stiffing him on the first ballot, just as they did to Bill Parcells.
Is he talking about wRong Borges (HOF selector) ? Notice how he doesn't say how he would vote. Interesting.

Dynastic Pats for Canton...

LOCKS
Tom Brady
Ty Law
Adam Vinatieri
Richard Seymour
Rodney Harrison (he could have a tough time due to his "thug" reputation around the NFL)

Definite Maybe's
Willie McGinest
Tedy Bruschi
Mike Vrabel
Corey Dillon

I would say the only lock we have on the team right now is Brady. It's too early with Seymour. If his career were to end now, there is no way he would go, even if he continues at his current pace, I don't think he would wind up with impressive enough stats to get in. The same goes for every other player mentioned.

Sadly, I have to agree with Woot here. I blame Bill Cowher for wasting four years of his career. :enranged:

But who knows, maybe Vrabel will make it as a coach (I can picture it so easily . . . February 2031 - "New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel"; it has a much better ring to it than "Ohio State head coach Mike Vrabel" :D ).

I did say "maybe".

- 3 SB Rings
- great college career at Ohio St
- Two way player in postseason (I think he set the NFL record for his 1st 6 recs as TD catches)
- great SB perfomances
- still has at least 3 years of playing football ahead of him

I know you said "maybe", but theres no way Mike Vrabel ever gets to Canton.

Never say never! You could argue he was the 3rd most valuable player on multi-SB winning teams.
