only 3-6 of those guys will be elected and it will be very difficult to narrow that group down. there are quite a few who deserve to go in.

I think Thurman should be a first ballot hall of famer and Ralph definately deserves to go, but I think Andre will have to wait a year or two

Reggie White's a given, and I would suspect the same for Monk, Moon and maybe Stabler.

After seeing the Giants Owners pass away, I think Ralph will get heavy consideration before it is too late.

Was thinking that to, especially since hes been around since the beggining......of time.

Anyway Op is right about White and probably Monk at least.

Good list, I would add Aikman to it.

Reggie White and Thurman Thomas are shoe-ins

George Young will be a sentimental pick

I really do not believe Andre will be a 1st ballot guy :(

Thurman never got the over the top credit he deserved. Everyone took for granted his accomplishments. This guy led the league how many years in total yards? It was almost boring to watch him on ESPN's highlite film. It was a given. His TD run in the first Super Bowl where he smashed into a Giant defender, bounced off him and ran into the endzone 20 yards later I'll never forget.
Thurmal was a player. Quite possibly the best Bill we ever had. The guy deserves to be in the HOF.
Reed does too, but that's for another day, though I'd love to see them both go in together.

Thurman led the league for 4 years in total yards. No one else has done the same.

If you haven't read the article from NFL Talk (
<a href="http://members.cox.net/billswatch/tt.html">Thurman Thomas: One of the Greatest Ever</a> ) I have permission to reprint it on my site.

Regarding comment on Monk, he is not a definite, he was not a definite pervious years.

Aikman will get in due to rings on fingers which probably means Irvin doesn't :rofl:

Andre Reed will not get in because
1. He doesn't deserve it on 1st ballot MOST IMPORTANTLY
2. Because I think Thurman is getting in they will not pick two Bills
