So you think that Gates is closer to the Hall than Randy Moss??? Come on now.
The criteria was if their careers ended today. I think; wait a minute, I know that this has been overlooked.
There are only a handful of players who would make it first ballot if their career ended today. I think the first list + M. Faulk + Larry Allen - Manning (I don't think that Brady and Manning can be first ballot. Brady has the gold and Manning does not have the numbers yet.) is the most reasonable that I have seen.
