If Bettis was in any other team, he wouldn't make it to the HOF, but he's a Steeler. Not taking away anything from his career, but the Steelers are the original bandwagon team and they are liked by many people. So I would agree that he gets in.

Story » 2011 Preliminary Nominees - Alphabetical

Dave Butz
Larry Centers
Gary Clark
Jack Kent Cooke
Henry Ellard
Ken Harvey
Joe Jacoby
Jim Lachey
Dexter Manley
Charles Mann
Brian Mitchell
Andre Reed *
Gerald Riggs
Reggie Roby
Deion Sanders
J.T. Smith
Doug Williams

I personally think Hanburger is a lock, and as a senior nominee it is pretty much a yes or no vote. On the others, they have to decide from all of the players listed. I personally think Butz, Jacoby, Manley and Mann should get in at some point, but I don't know if they make it the next couple of years because of all the other Redskins who recently got in.

My list of top candidates: (no order)

Hanburger
Mann
Manley
Kent Cooke
Roby
Butz
Jacoby
Clark

umm..the Bus get's in. Hate sound corny, but he's just so likeable and represents the Hall well. I know it's ultimately aboubt he did on the field the counts, but people just love some Jerome Bettis.

Monkeydad · 09-14-2010, 01:59 PM

Bettis is a lock for first-ballot HOF.

SmootSmack · 09-14-2010, 02:38 PM

Not sure the bus is first ballot but I think he gets in at some point

CrustyRedskin · 09-14-2010, 06:03 PM

Ray Guy over Reggie Roby? Who ya got? I dont ever see a punter making it but i do see Venetieri making it.

Led the NFL in punting three times

Has a record of 111 career punts in post season games

It looks like the HOF has posted Chris's bio. Hopefully the vote will go his way in a few weeks:

Faulk
Sharpe
Sabol
Sanders
Carter

Chico23231 · 02-04-2011, 11:23 AM

My 5: Hanburger, Faulk, Carter, Brown, Sharpe

Its tough to leave off Roaf and Bettis

Lotus · 02-04-2011, 11:32 AM

Dent, Faulk, Reed, Sanders, Hanburger IMHO

CrustyRedskin · 02-04-2011, 11:46 AM

Jack Kent Cook should be there. And Jacoby and Clark

GTripp0012 · 02-04-2011, 03:18 PM

Carter, Sharpe, Faulk, Dent, Sanders, Sabol

Leader In Sports · 02-04-2011, 10:05 PM

Bettis
Sanders
Faulk
Reed
Hanburger
Richter

Shadowbyte · 02-04-2011, 11:25 PM

All of those players deserve to be HOF's IMO. They all dominated during their respective era's.

Terpfan76 · 02-04-2011, 11:51 PM

I think Bettis gets in and soon, but I can't see him as being superior to Curtis Martin. I see Faulk as a no brainer, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, Deion and Dent getting in.

To even suggest that Faulk is not HOF worthy is a joke. Same goes for Bettis, but I just can't see him getting in first ballot especially with Faulk and Martin having put up superior stats at a stat driven position.
