About Jim Bakken, EJ wrote:
  Jim Brakken is not going to be inducted. There are 3 reasons for that.

The first reason is he's a senior candidate and kickers are very low the list.
The 2nd reason is Jim's field goal percentage didn't age well and voters aren't into comparing kickers from the same era.
The 3rd reason is I think the voters think Jan Stenerud should be the only kicker from Jim Bakken's era be inducted since Jan is the best from his era.

About Mario Williams, EJ wrote:
  Not getting inducted into Canton. He's not the best player in his draft, but was a very good player. The fact is the best player in a lot of NFL drafts isn't the first player drafted.

He was given way too much criticism in the early part of his career. The media right after he was drafted by the Texans that the Texans made a mistake by not drafting Reggie Bush or Vince Young. The problem is Reggie Bush became overhyped as he entered the league. The fact is Reggie was a great college player, but not all of them end up in the pros as good as they were in college.

What happened is Reggie Bush didn't live to the hype as a player. Reggie also had problems staying healthy for most of his career. In the Saint Super Bowl season , Reggie had less than a combined 900 all purpose yards.

Vince Young as an NFL player didn't stay in the league long and is considered an NFL bust despite his 2 pro bowls.

About Tom Brady, EJ wrote:
  Anyone who Claims Tom Brady doesn't belong in Canton is butthurt. Tom has all the rings, and has the most passing yards, competitions, and touchdowns in league history. I know his longevity played a role with his stats. His longevity is due to NFL rules, but I don't believe in punishing a player for that.

His numbers are inflated, but I can say that to every quarterback that played the game in the last 15 years at least. The fact is the NFL made the league even more pass friendly and protect quarterbacks more than it was in the 80s and 90s.

I say hall of fame because QBS to be compared to other QBS in the same era they played.
