Why do you hate me, Sammich?

choices based on just vibes

QB:
Brees- First ballot. No doubter.
Eli- No, but last name and 2 SB will get him in at some point.
Rivers- Hall of Very Good, but counting numbers will get him in at some point.

RB:
Gore- See Rivers.
Taylor- No. But see Gore to a lesser extent.

WR:
LarryFitz- First ballot. No doubter.
Holt, Smith, Ward, Wayne- All had very good peaks, but none feel like they were ever *THAT* *DUDE*, save maybe for Smith or Wayne briefly. I'd have them all as HoVGs with Wayne probably at the top of that pack.

TE:
Witten- Another that will get in due to longevity.

ST:
Vinatieri- HOFer as much as any kicker can be.

OL:
Yanda- Yes, eventually.
Anderson- Borderline. Probably HoVG.
Brown, Webb, Wisniewski, Evans- No

DL:
Mathis- Yes. One of the more underrated players of the 2000s.
Wilfork- A very interesting case. His play style never leant to counting stats, but he was integral to that pats defense. Kind of an idealized Ted Washington. I don't think that's HOF-worthy.
Williams- HoVG.

LB:
Kuechly- In.
Suggs- In.

DB:
Harrison- No.
Thomas- In
Woodson- Borderline, but no.

I don’t think him getting in would be a travesty, but I’d put Suggs as HoVG also

Did win a DPotY, but overall I thought he was just a really good all around DE/OLB, but not a guy that dominated games or that you had to scheme around.

you obviously have a better perspective as you saw him week-in, week-out*

Brees
Fitz
Holt
Wayne
Vinatieri

You guys can debate the 6th.

You hear me talking, hillbilly boy?

I think Yanda deserves to be in. I’d put in Wilfork as well.

They were each the best in the league at their position for a 5+ year period. I’d put a guy like that in over Holt or Wayne, although I do think they both deserve to make it.

I was thinking Wilfork was the 6th guy... Yanda is a good call*

there should at the very least be a Peanut Punch exhibit

the kids can run around trying to punch each others' balls out

strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime

I think he only made one pro bowl during his playing days, which will certainly be held against him.

But that Bears defense was indeed GREAT. The Peanut Punch was revolutionary and the sheer number of turnovers he created should get him in (but probably won't).
