They knocked Montana out twice Burt got him once in 87 and Marshall in 90 they were both brutal hits. That Marshall hit would have sent me to ER.

Burt vs Montana - YouTube

Leonard Marshall knocking Joe Montana out! 1990...

Rickey Sanders should be in for this record alone: Most touches of the football of any player without a fumble during his career.

It was 2002, not 2004

Curtis Martin IMO deserves it. Watching him play growing up was awesome and I was pulling for him to break Moose Johnson and the Cowboy's OL's rushing record.....oh I mean Emmit Smith's record....

Also Roaf should have already been inducted and its nice to see Tim Brown as well.

I dint realize TO is 2nd all time in reception yardage behind Rice. Megatron at #169 and climbing!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree Parcells will get in, but don't think it is nonsense. I actually got turned onto this fact from several former players who suggested I look it up.

It's a stat everyone knows. Just like Gretzky never won without Messier and Jordan never won without Pippen, though Messier did win without Gretzky.

I'm guessing you think Belichick belongs right? Well, how about I counter that with "yeah well he never won as Super Bowl as a head coach without Rome Crennel"

I see where you are going, but the Pats are still a dominant team without RC. He has been gone long enough where you lose some steam in the argument. Yes, I think Bill B is someone who belongs in the HOF.

[SFREDSKIN]

Bill Parcells had both Joe Gibbs (painful to say) and Bill Walsh's numbers, had success with the Jets, Patriots and Cowboys. If you had a choice between Shanahan and Parcells for the HOF, who would you pick? A no brainer Parcells. Now if Shanahan can win again, he's the guy on the fence unless he wins again.

Not so sure about that. To me he's on the fence.

He was one of the top coaches of the modern era. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get in.

It's nonsense.

No disrespect intended, but I have stated some facts to back up my argument. While it is not a popular position, it is based in fact. Bill B was the DC of ever successful Parcells team. When Bill B was not on staff, Parcells teams were average to slightly above average.

Saying my position is nonsense without backing it up with facts is in fact "nonsense".
