former players would be the best poeple to do the voting, outside of coaches, they have played the game , they understand the worthiness a player can have to a team (which, in monks case, some media people don't realize how important he was. ex players do)

as far as fans go. fans would be great at voting (if they are truly fans of the nfl, not just someone who watches football casually) true fans recognize talented football players when they see them, regardless of the team he played for. i think, at least 80% of the people here would vote for aikman. i know i would. he was a damn good qb and won what, two superbowls, or was it three ?
