Not bad.

All seven of the players I initially voted for made the top 15:

Allen, Barber, Hester, Seymour, Bryant, Butler, and Anderson.

If only my game-day picks were so lucky.

*sigh*

Jason Peters
Quentin Nelson
Adrian Peterson
Zack Martin
Tyron Smith
Alex Mack
Ndamukong Suh
Calais Campbell
Khalil Mack
Richard Sherman
Johnny Hekker

The Hall is losing a lot of integrity with some of the unworthy entries, along with the notable snubs. I guess all of these "Hall of Fame" type of things become political and just lose their sense of meaning over time. Oh well.:-)

Not bad Hall of Very Good finalists.

I wouldn’t put Hester in.

He was the best returner ever, but that’s probably only because better receivers and running backs aren’t used as returners. They’re more valuable at other positions, so they aren’t used as returners. The coaches wont risk the injuries.

Guys like Hester and Hall were dynamic returners but very replaceable players at their actual positions.

Guys like Tyreek Hill, Steve Smith, Barry Sanders, etc could’ve been some of the greatest returners ever. They were too valuable to risk the injury returning punts/kicks.

Go Seymour just so the Raiders can claim another HOF. Can't wait for the Witten claim!

In all seriousness, Hester has no business making it. The classes are getting weaker and weaker each year. But that is the nature of hall of fames. No HOF passes up on the moolah that induction weekend brings in.
