Thought sure one was going to be Jay Fiedler

I just voted. Some great players on there that I just assumed were already in. Surprised to see 3 of the 5 "Hogs" still on the list - Jacoby, May and Bostic.

Go Zach! (And Troy!). JJ very deserving too for the job he did in Dallas.

Mecklenburg will probably get it

 

[royalshank]

Mecklenburg will probably get it

he must be on the list for some time now, no?

Also, I don't get guys like Bulluck, Kirkland, Vrabel, Sharper - all good players but not HOF IMO.

the Dartmouth hall of fame.

Hope Zack gets in, dude was a special player with a cool underdog story to boot.

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

Mecklenburg will probably get it

Mecklenberg: 4x first team all pro

Zach Thomas: 5x first team all pro, 2x second team all pro, and made the 2000s all-decade team

Dolphins fans, of all people, who try to make the case against Zach getting into the Hall of Fame, are puzzling to me. He has HoF credentials.

Zach's accomplishments were amazing considering he was going head to head with Ray Lewis for the all pro honors.

Love to see him get in.

 

[TheWalrus]

Zach Thomas definitely belongs on a short list.

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

He was considered to be elite at his position for seven years by the most credible and impartial body we have to decide these things. Hall of Famer.

What I meant was that he hated when they put the Fruity Munch on the top shelf.

Richmond Webb for HOF!!!

[jlfin]

ZT I think deserves it. Troy Vincent was solid, but not ever elite IMHO.

 

[DearbornDolfan]

How is a guy that's about to go to prison for a long time on the list? What sort of message would that send?
