Anyhow, why don't you think some of these guys you've mentioned should be in? Mainly Moon, Thomas, and Tarkenton.
I didnt know that. Thanks for the info.

I think they were very good players with nice numbers but as all time greats I just dont think they are HOF worthy. As I mentioned in a previous post, I see the HOF as a place for a few elites. As the HOF currently enshrines players these guys fit in fine but if it was up to me there'd only be half (at max) the players in that are currently there now.

I admit that my way is totally unrealistic as there just wouldnt be enough players in to make it a place worth visiting and going years without players being enshrined wouldnt work because Canton counts on people filling their hotels and restaurants every year to attend the ceremony.
