Future Hall of Famers?

[pennywisealfie]

amongst the current NFL players, who do you think will one day go to the hall of fame if they retired today? I've got:

Tom Brady
Randy Moss
Ladanian Tomlinson
Ray Lewis
Ed Reed
Peyton Manning
Dwight Freeney
Champ Bailey
Brian Dawkins
Brett Favre
Steve Hutchinson
Tony Gonzalez
Alan Faneca

They are the ones I know for sure, but then theres the ones who are possibilities:

Of course theres the ones who could possibly get in if they retired today but another few seasons will seal the deal such as:

Troy Polamalu
Jeff Saturday
Drew Brees
Ben Roethlisberger
Antonio Gates

Then theres the ones where you think, have they done enough?

Richard Seymour
Rodney Harrison
Donovan McNabb
Olin Kreutz
Brian Urlacher
Terrell Owens

thoughts? have i left anyone out? overrated someone?

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Awesome list of talent couldn't agree more Troy and jeff will be certanties soon enough like you said

 

[Big Mick]

I don't think Big Ben is a Hall of Famer if I'm honest.

 

[zombie jesus]

Charles Woodson
Jason Taylor

 

[zombie jesus]

Forgot Tebow.

 

[legend]

Philip Rivers is probably on track.

Ryan Clady
Michael Oher
Jason Taylor
Jared Allen
Adrian Peterson
Chris Johnson
Steven Jackson

 

[legend]

Spot on with Tebow. The next John Elway!

 

[legend]

Larry Fitzgerald for sure. Best WR in the NFL.

 

[zombie jesus]

I don't think Big Ben is a Hall of Famer if I'm honest.

Maybe not right now, eventually it's almost certain. He's already got multiple rings, a rare feat, potentially has a decade or so to go too.

My thoughts on Alfie's picks:

Tom Brady

In. Easily.

Randy Moss

Very probable. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if quitting on his team on several occasions means he won't get in on the first ballot.

Ladanian Tomlinson

Probably.

Ray Lewis

Who cares if he probably killed a guy? He's in on the first ballot.

Ed Reed

Yes.

Peyton Manning

Yes.

Dwight Freeney

More than likely.

Champ Bailey

I'm about 80% sure he will be in, not on the first ballot.

Brian Dawkins

It's really really hard for an interior lineman to get in, don't know if he's there yet.

Brett Favre

In, unfortunately.

Steve Hutchinson

Remember what I said about interior linemen? Multiply that by a lot and you get offensive linemen.

Tony Gonzalez

Yes.

Alan Faneca

O-lineman. Hard to tell.

Troy Polamalu

Needs to stay injury-free for a couple of seasons.

Jeff Saturday

Again, lineman.

Drew Brees

Not in yet. Another couple of good seasons, who knows?

Ben Roethlisberger

As above.

Antonio Gates

If he continues on his current pace it is almost inevitable.

Richard Seymour
Rodney Harrison
Donovan McNabb
Olin Kreutz
Brian Urlacher
Terrell Owens

The only way these guys get into the Professional Football Hall of Fame is buying a ticket, just like everyone else.

One guy you didn't mention who will likely be in: Adam Vinateri.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Dawkins is a safety bro. Hutchinsons been to 8 pro bowls, id say hes a certainty. LT is more than probably. Behind Favre, Manning & Brady, hes the surest bet there. first ballot.

 

[Jono078]

Nnamdi Asomugha. Is another you left out.

 

[DC_fan]

DeMarcus Ware and Jason Witten

 

[Monk]

If Aaron Rodgers keeps playing the way he has been, he is a shoe in.

 

[meters]

What about the Dallas Cowboys #9 Tony Romo?

 

[Monk]

no chance, even from a cowboys fan.

 

[meters]

Yes,i am a cowboys fan.I like romo very much!!

 

[AusKnightRKO]

theres about atleast 10 QBs that deserve to be there before him... so i assume you had to be joking

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yeah LT is a mortal lock

i would vote big ben in.

i would also say drew brees will get there as well.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

romo?

f**k no
