About the eligibility class of 2026, Thomas Economous wrote:
  The ratings seem really flawed in my opinion. Players like Todd Gurley have no chance of being in the HOF. #102 in rushing yards. He shouldn't even be mentioned in this list. Philip Rivers #6 all time in passing yards and #6 all time in passing TDs should be near the top.

About Seth Joyner, RON RANIERI wrote:
  Was a season ticket holder during Mr Joyners Philly years, he never got the love he deserved. Philly had a great defense in this era, but watch tape and check his stats. one of the strongest and meanest linebacker to play pro football. If he played for the cowboys he would be an all time great. I implore to watch his tape.

About Walter Jones, Tyler wrote:
  Walter's dominated from day one at a position he only played for 1 year at the college level. Despite playing for mostly poor teams in the golden era of HOF LT's Ogden, Pace & Roaf he still collected 6 AP's & had fewer holding penalties (8) than years played (12). An average of 1 holding penalty every 634 pass attempts. Such was his dominance that Shaun Alexander remains the only member of the NFL 100 TD club that isn't in the HOF (or likely ever to be) because despite being an offensive MVP, his performance is discounted as a product of running behind Jones & Hutchinson.
