This is a kinda annoying because Vinatieri really deserves to not wait longer for a guy who debuted years after he left. He's also the GOAT kicker and was probably the most important non Brady player of the early dynasty. But he'll probably lose out because Gronk's a bigger name and his position. Which sucks because he already got snubbed from first ballot because he was a kicker

I'm voting for Adam Vinatieri ...

Most deserving of this trio

I dunno man. GOAT TE vs GOAT kicker.

Señor Yo Soy Fiesta had Brady to make him great...

Adam worked with the Special Teams O Line, the back up QB or punter as a holder, etc... and he got into the HoF as a Kicker... thats a pretty big chip to overcome in terms of the goat arguments between the two...

while both positions are under appreciated by the selection committee, there are currently 3 kickers vs 10 tight ends in the hall... thats a hard thing to overlook...

Gronk is GOAT on 32 teams.

Adam should have a red jacket, but Colts.

what was that? didn't quite catch it...

The Bucs ain't the Colts. The Colts are/were the rival.

That's like comparing the Yankee / Red Sox rivalry to the Red Sox / Washington Nationals.
 
I love Adam but it is the best TE of all time against a kicker.

I don't think Belichick wanted Vinatieri any more. His kickoffs, especially in Foxborough, had become a problem. That said I don't think choosing another team removes players from consideration.

It's not about consideration, it's about whether they can win the vote.

I think it's obvious that all 3 belong in the Patriots HOF. I believe all 3 belong in Canton.

And while the discussion is on HOF's I don't think Belichick will show up to either of his HOF inductions. There's a 1,000 ways to say F/U and he will skip them as his way of saying that,

He will probably go if Jordon give him permission to go.
