About the eligibility class of 2027, D wrote:
  AB and Gronk are the most dominant players on this list, so they are both first ballot locks. Everyone else, IDK. It is crazy to me that Cam Newton has a higher score than Big Ben..... Even though Ben has objectively the worst Superbowl winning performance ever (22.6 QBR), he is still better than Cam Newton all time LOLLL

  Micah Hyde last played in 2023. So he will first become eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2029, not 2030.

About Tony Boselli, Jason wrote:
  Fred Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame, even though he missed 55 regular season games due to injury, he still managed to climb as high as 15th on the all-time rushing list. Taylor gave everyone a 4.5 season head-start. Marcus Allen only had 3 or 4 seasons with a thousand yards rushing, Taylor had 7 but probably could've had 9. Fred Taylor and Jimmy Smith both deserve to be in the Hall of Fame and both had similar careers.
