Marino was a sure-fire lock. He never won a Super Bowl, but his stats are truly incredible. The other thing about Marino that makes him special is that he spent his entire 17-year NFL career with the same team. That's just not something that happens in the era of free agency.
Steve Young doesn't have eye-popping stats, but it is hard to argue with what he did. 6 passing titles, the highest ever passer rating, and 3 Super Bowl rings. Furthermore, he did all of this after replacing arguably the greatest QB in NFL history.
I really don't understand what Harry Carson did. I understand that Carson is frustrated, but no player is bigger than the game. Carson would eventually have gotten in, but there is really no way now unless some kind of reconcilliation is made. A real shame, too. Carson played in the shadow of Lawrence Taylor and Mike Singleterry, but he is one of the best middle linebackers to ever play the game.
Richard Dent was stretch, but I would have liked to see him get in. The Sackman remains one of my all-time favorite Chicago Bears.
I think that Derek Thomas will eventually get in. In his prime, he was as fearsome of a player as Lawrence Taylor. (I used to always pick the Chiefs on Super Tecmo Bowl!)
Scratching my head about Russ Grimm. How can Grimm, one of the charter members of the greatest offensive line in NFL history, not be in the HOF?
