What About Russ?

Lost in all the Monk HOF hoopla is the fact that another Redskin is a Hall of Fame finalist-Russ Grimm

On the one hand, he was a dominant player in the 80s-four time pro bowler, first team all-decade, 5 NFC Championship games, 4 Super Bowls, 3 Titles.

On the other hand, how do you really measure his impact? It's not like he's a RB where you can say well he rushed for X yards and scored Y touchdowns. He was a guard. And does the fact that he was part of such a formidable and famous offensive line actually hurt him? Because was he more valuable than Jacoby, May, Lachey, etc, if Grimm gets in should they all?

Personally, I'd love to see Grimm get in but I think it will it take at least a couple more tries before he's truly consider one of the top 6 candidates.

What do you guys think?
