troy palamalu - Yes
adrian peterson - Way too early, on the path though

ben rothlisberger - Probably bc he is a Steeler
domenik hixon - No
champ bailey - Lock
ty law - Maybe eventually
edgerrin james - No
kurt warner - Hmm, possibly
torry holt - Yep, he will finish in the top 5 WRs in yardage
albert haynesworth - One (albeit ****ing awesome) season down, 10 more to go
ladanian tomlinson - Depends on how he finishes, probably though
antonio gates - Doubtful
andre johnson - He keeps it up for about 13 year career and he will
calvin johnson - If he stays with the Lions his whole career, no, might have a shot if he leaves though
ed reed - No
kerry collins - No
brian urlacher - Bear...yes
warren sapp - Probably, loud mouth and media favorite
nmdandi asomugha - Very young but has a promising career ahead of him, maybe

Maybe? Probably? He's already in. 141 TDs all but seals the deal. HOF voters see big TD numbers (Marcus Allen) and they get wet.

You're probably right but we'll see.

I really don't care anyways, the HoF is a bad joke as far as I'm concerned

[Sacked by Croel]

Lynch NO Not a playmaker. Lott is the only safety in the HOF who played in the last 30 years. It's tough to get into the Hall as a safety.

Polomalu YES More of a game changer than Lynch.

Adrian Peterson YES Barring a castrophic injury ala Billy Sims, he's going to have a career similar to Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson.

Larry Fitzgerald YES Should be the best WR in football during the next 2-3 years. Calvin Johnson is the only guy I see challenging him for his throne.

Ben Roethlisberger YES He doesn't get enough credit for his improvisional skills. He's even had some big time statistical seasons (2007).

Champ Bailey YES Mainly because of his all-around play, but he won't get in on the first ballot.

Ty Law NO I would vote for him, but I think he's going to have a tough time getting in until 20-30 years down the road. This generation's Lester Hayes. His departure from the Patriots will hurt him, but it shouldn't. In 2005 with the Jets, he was still playing at an All-Pro level. He should have been the MVP of Super Bowl XXXVI.

Edgerrin James YES It's going to take him awhile, but when you look at his career he has a strong case. His peak is pretty strong. Two time NFL rushing champion. 4 1500+ plus rushing seasons.

Kurt Warner YES Won't get in on the first ballot, but here's a stat that will blow you away, he has the highest percentage of 300 yard games in NFL history by a wide margin. It's not even close.

Torry Holt YES The NFC's Marvin Harrison for many years.

Albert Haynesworth NO He definitely has the window to get there, but when you look at his career, he has two great seasons. He needs more and the odds are against him when you look at the history of how DTs perform when they get into their late 20s-early 30s.

LaDainian Tomlinson YES Slam Dunk

Antonio Gates YES His numbers will get him there. Look at some of the TEs who are already there (Jackie Smith, Charlie Sanders, Dave Casper).

Andre Johnson NO Injuries have set him back during his career. I think he's in a spot where he needs to run off 4 or 5 Pro Bowl seasons in a row to make up for lost time.

Calvin Johnson YES Look what he did last year. Imagine what he would do with some talent around him.

Ed Reed YES Slam dunk. Best safety since Lott and Ken Houston.

Kerry Collins NO Vinny Testaverde has a better case.

Brian Urlacher NO He needs a year where he makes big plays and competes for a NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.

Warren Sapp YES The best DT in the post-Randy White/Lee Roy Selmon era.

Nmandi Asomugha NO I wonder how he's going to age cover skills wise. He's had some thread on him already and only about three outstanding seasons to his credit. He needs about 4 or 5 more to have a chance.

Brian Dawkins NO I would vote for him, but safeties have a tough time garnering attention, i.e. Dennis Smith, Steve Atwater, Carnell Lake,

Ryan CladyYES

Randy Moss YES Biggest slam dunk after LT and Reed on this list.

[Rock Chalk]

You say two safeties will get in but then say only Lott in the last 30 years has got in?

Then say, twice, that safeties have a tough time getting in?

I should have been more specific. Safeties that don't get a lot of interceptions, turnovers and big plays (TDs) have a tough time getting in. You really have to stand out at the position. The safety position is one of the most underrepresented positions in the HOF.

Reed is the best safety in the last 20 years. Has a Defensive Player of the Year award. A handful of INTs, TDs and big plays. He transcended the position.

Polomalu has two Super Bowl rings. Voters like All-Pros on championship teams. That's the primary reason I chose him.

In terms of playmaking, Lynch and Dawkins don't stand out. They fall short in that regard. That's why I said no for them.

its hard for big ben to get any more on top. even though he has had 2 #1 defenses on his side, he has 2 superbowls... i personally think he is slightly overrated but still, apparently rings are make or break for teh HOF for a ton of players even though it is a team game

If he leaves on top yea, but if he sticks around and muddies his numbers and reputation, it is the trick behind getting in the HOF. Guys want to play as long as they can, but if Barry had stuck around longer and began to look human, how different would his reputation had been. I just think that been could be the QB that gets into the hall because of how great his defense was and that he just managed games and won by handing the ball off and not throwing INTS
