Not sure he is a first ballot though. I think he had a higher peak than a guy like Champ Bailey, but Bailey was great for a far longer stretch. I honestly feel like his seasons after leaving Oakland detracted from his resume. He'd have had a better chance if he just retired in 2011.

Just look at all of the RB's that come through KC over the years and you see one constant among them through all of their success. Disagree. Besides they're at different positions. Boselli didn't play long enough, didn't play for any real successful teams. I'm not going any further into this one because people get super upset when I voice my opinion on Boselli.

He's the best MLB since Ray Lewis so yes I would say so. Should be 1st ballot IMO. 2007 draft should have 5 first-ballot Hall of Famers: Adrian Peterson, Joe Thomas, Calvin Johnson, Patrick Willis, and Darrelle Revis.

Buddyboy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 John Elway is the only Denver Bronco in Canton? Really? In those 1980s SBs, Karl Mecklenberg stood out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you can count Gary Zimmerman since he played most of his career with the Vikings. Pat Bowlen, Steve Atwater, Karl Mecklenberg, Randy Gradishar and Champ Bailey are all Broncos that need to be in the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not Boselli is able to get in is going to be a better gauge for Willis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not Boselli is able to get in is going to be a better gauge for Willis. It's just about the length of their careers. TD showed you don't have to have a super long one provided those years are elite, and Willis' career was elite. Sure, he didn't have the individual hardware that TD had (just defensive rookie of the year) but a slightly longer career at an elite level. Willis was a 5 time first team all pro in 7 years (his 8th being only 6 games). Boselli is below him in my opinion. I could absolutely see Willis get in first and though unlikely, a scenario where Willis gets in but Boselli doesn't (not saying I don't think that Boselli shouldn't get in, he's absolutely a hall of famer in my book, just that I can see that possibility play out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AFL championship games were played early so as not to conflict with the NFL. Denver was a small market team and didn't play well in Chicago. Lots of Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs and Jets.

First time players who should more or less be locks. TE Tony Gonzalez S Ed Reed CB Champ Bailey Then you have IMO G Steve Hutchinson Haven't decided on the last yet.Side Note: Torry Holt > Isaac Bruce Neither one. Bruce was never great.

When you excel against the superior competition on the biggest stage, that really helps. I haven't made up my mind on Patrick Willis, but he wasn't great in at least two of those 2010 postseason games, when the Niners reached the SB. It's one of those aspects of judging these candidates we should be thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
