HOF Gets it Wrong Again

[Doomsday]

In a time where they seem to put almost everyone into the HOF it is pretty shocking to me that they continue to snub Zach Thomas.

The guy was absolutely one of the best middle linebackers in the league for 13 seasons and deserves to be in the HOF

The 2020 HoF Class is pretty underwhelming thb.

Troy Polamalu? when it mattered most, he became Bradys ***** ... no way hes more deserving than Rodney Harrison ... all about the "looks cool" and wears a stealers jersey with that selection

Isaac Bruce? at their peaks, Torry Holt was better... just didnt play as long

steve atwater? come on ... he retired 20 years ago ... that should say it all

edgerrin james? not in the top ten for yards... barely makes the top 20 for tds ... head shaking, curtis martin like decision

steve hutchinson? Meh... Good player, but Underwhelmed by the selection

Zach Thomas deserves to be in, guy was a complete beast

I don't trust the HoF. IMO it's a bigger honor to get into your team's Ring of Honor.

Maybe, but teams get those wrong, too. Jim Harbaugh is in the Colts Ring of Honor. That is utterly ridiculous.

Its the bigger market effect. Urlacher just got more press. If Zach Thomas played in NY or DC or Chicago , he'd be a first ballot HOFer.

That definitely could be it, because it is hard for me to believe people who actually watched him play could say he isn't a HOFer.

At least Thomas appears to be progressing toward eventual enshrinement in Canton. He was a semi-finalist for the first time last year and was a finalist this year for the first time.

Hopefully that signals Thomas’ wait for the Hall of Fame will not last much longer.

Zach Thomas was a 5X All-Pro 1st team and 2X All-Pro 2nd team? Those are HOF worthy, period

Lol. He'll get in once Jerry has completed his mid-life man crises.

NFL HOF is synonymous with the WWE HOF at this point. It's a watered down joke. No longer an exclusive club and getting inducted has lost its meaning.

the most confusing part of him getting in was Alan Faneca who's been a finalist longer and plays the same position has two more super bowls than him, two more pro bowls than him, and one more all pro selection than him yet Hutchinson was the one of the 2 who got in ????
