    Ralph Wilson is the ONLY Bill who made it to the 25 semi-finalists...

    Former All-Pro quarterbacks Dan Marino and Steve Young are among the several first-year eligible players who head the list of 25 semi-finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2005. The semi-finalists were chosen by the Hall of Fame's Board of Selectors from the recently announced list of 90 preliminary nominees.

    The list of 25 semi-finalists will be reduced by mail ballot to 13 modern-era candidates. That list will then increase to 15 finalist nominees with the inclusion of the two recommended candidates of the Hall of Fame's Senior Committee. This year's Seniors Committee nominees, who were announced in August, are two of pro football's early pioneers - Benny Friedman and Fritz Pollard. The Seniors Committee reviews the qualifications of those players, coaches, and contributors whose careers took place more than 25 years ago. The list of 15 finalists for the Class of 2005 will be announced in mid-January.

    Is it just me or does anyone else think that Ralph has no chance in this group?

    I think Zimmerman Haley Doleman will all get in but not first year.


    I am gonna say

    Marino
    Monk
    Irvin
    Thomas
    Steve Young

    I bet Thomas gets in cause hes dead... RIP
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    I think Wilson makes it this year. Marino and Young are shoe-ins.

    I would substitute CB Lester Hayes for Steve Young........Steve Young did not define the QB position. Lester Hayes truly contributed to redefining the CB position

    Steve Yound will definitely make it. He along with Randel made the scrambling QB come back into vogue. Now EVERYONE wants a scrambling QB. He also won a SB and had tons of yardage. He will be in. I don't know about Lester. He was a big name but the day the outlawed stickem, he was a ton less productive. It might have been near the end of his career, but I think the Raider mystique did more for Lester than anything he did on the field. I also don't think Art Monk will make it again. He will have to go in on a thin year and this year doesn't look like it.

    I would hate to see another old Dolphin make it. I still don't know how Bob Griese made it in.

    He's only the higest rated passer in NFL history


    A couple of seasons with 100+ rating as well.
