I'd say a bunch of pretty good players that played great together. As I said the 91 line was probably the best line we've ever had. If Lachey played longer he'd probably go in hands down.

Solid HoF class. Sorry to see Grimm get left out. Extremely happy Carter didn't get in, I hope he never gets in.

All are deserving but I lived in Pgh when Woodson was in his prime and I always thought he was over-rated. All people talked about was his speed but he never seemed to run anyone down from behind. Also, Bruce Smith is and forever will be a Bill.

Absolutely. Just like Monk is a Skin regardless of the Jets and Eagles. However, 29 sacks in 4 years here. Wouldn't we all like to see that from Jason Taylor, even if he is remembered as a Fin.

BTW, if (and I hope not but the media thinks he's a god) Deion Sanders goes into the HOF, what team claims him?

No disrespect to McDaniel but how many SB rings does he have? None? How a bout Grimm? 4, possibly 5 today. Grimm was a beast just like McDaniel and as an interior lineman created huge holes for Riggo and was part of one of the most domineering OL's of all time if not the most. Grimm and Jacoby should both be in the HOF and I would have picked Grimm over McDaniel just because of what his team accomplished in that era (4 SB appearances, 3 championships). I hate all those writers that vote on the election starting with Peter "Fat****" King.

Thank you very much. Agree 100%

It's the truth!! I'm sick of all these writers who are enamored with the 49ers and Cowboys. The Redskins team of the 80's was as good as the 49ers if not, better, the one thing we lacked was franchise QB. If the Skins could have had a QB like Montana they would have won 6 to 7 SB in that era. Don't laugh, it's true.

Well, that's also why you aren't voting on the hall of fame committee.

I don't think we really need to make self-serving arguments like this when TWO players from this era just went in for us last year, but that's just my opinion I guess.

On the field, McDaniel was way, way better than Grimm, and that's all the voters are supposed to judge on.

McDaniel was no better than Grimm, they were both as good. Show me his rings, the writers of the HOF are enamored with stats, perfect example Monk. Grimm should have been elected like Monk years ago. Don't forget Jacoby either and to show you that i'm not a homer, Derrick Thomas ahead of Charles Haley who has 5 SB and was a much better player, C'mon.

McDaniel played at a high level for a longer period of time. It's not all about SB's. Grimm didn't even start on the 87 and 91 teams and was a back up the last few years of his career. McDaniel was the better player and should go in before Grimm.

MTK · 02-01-2009, 12:34 PM

McDaniels was a dominant lineman and his career is much more fresh in Hall voters' minds. I think the thing that hurts the Hogs is they were a great unit and voters don't necessarily think of them as great on their own as individuals.
