Just watched the NFL Network show on this. Consensus is, is that JT gets in....might take a year or two, but he'll get there pretty easy. And that's about right, imo. Had forgot that Kurt Warner is now in his third year of eligibility. I'd think he and Tomlinson and probably TO will get in.
 
Don't see first ballot as I think he will be dinged due to lack of team playoff success...fair or not. However, he made so many big plays consistently over the years that I think he's a shoe in within a few years. Will be great to see it happen.
 
He had a bunch of touchdowns in his career. Tons of sacks and was a leader on and off the field. What more could he do on an individual basis?

Also he totally looks like xerxes from 300 (I guess from Persian history or something too)

Might not see a Dolphin inducted into the HOF for quite some time after this. The result of poor recent drafting.

Need to get Suh some playoff success. Good chance he could go in as a Fin as well.
 
Not that I'm biased but I think he's the best player of the 25. A lot of the other guys had shorter careers, were dominant for less of a period of time or just weren't as good. The dude led the NFL in sacks over a decade. No one else on that list was that good for that long. First ballot and it should be easy.

He said better than 25 of the 27... I'm assuming here that 26 or 27 was LT.

Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor has put together a Hall of Fame résumé. Taylor is sixth all-time in sacks (139.5) and played 15 consistent NFL seasons.

But will Taylor get into the Hall of Fame and can he squeeze in on the first ballot? Those are questions that will be asked about Taylor in the coming years.

Taylor is expected to retire on New Year's Day following the Dolphins' regular-season finale against the New York Jets. He will be eligible for Hall of Fame induction in five years.

I do not have a Hall of Fame vote. But we checked in Wednesday with someone who does: ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton. According to Clayton, the competition is stiff, particularly for pass-rushers, and that will make it tough for Taylor to get in on the first ballot.

"One of the problems that happens is when you have 100-sack guys going against 100-sack guys, they take votes away from each other," Clayton explained. "So sometimes there can be a stall three, four or five years. It depends on who Taylor is coming up against when he's up in five years. Anytime you get 100 sacks you're in the running, but you're also competing with other guys who have 100 sacks. That will probably prevent him from being first ballot, but I think ultimately he can make it. "

Taylor trails only Bruce Smith (200), Reggie White (198), Kevin Greene (160), Chris Doleman (150.5) and Michael Strahan (141.5) on the all-time sack list. Smith and White are already in the Hall of Fame. As Clayton mentioned, Taylor could be competing with other greats like Greene, Doleman and Strahan for votes in several years. But chances look good for Taylor to eventually get a call to Canton.

I think his play is worthy of first ballot inclusion. I just think there will be some that say he was not on a team that won enough to get him in first ballot. I hope I'm wrong. It's not as prevalent as QBWinz, but there are some that look at team success as context of individual achievement at any position...

of the defense players who made it this far... who there has better stats than JT? Several of them have been up several times, JT is not going up against other sackmasters...

Meh, I feel like super bowls are about teams, the hall of fame is about the individual. Nobody on this list has done as much on and off the field as JT.
 
What about Zach??? When is he eligible? We need to get him in!
