word to the wise my friend, you should never tell anyone on a message board they're stupid or their opinion is stupid . it could come back to bite you in the *** later on.
if a player is worthy of the HOF, wouldn't you think they would be voted in the first chance they get? seriously what changes from year to year? their stats certainly don't. so why didn't art monk get in his first try? i believe while art monk was very good, he wasn't one of the best WR of all time. my opinion. same thing holds true for LC Greenwood and Donnie Shell as well. but what might hurt them more is the fact so many steelers from that era are already in the HOF.
I agree that so many Steelers already in from the Steel Curtain era hurt the chances for LC and Donnie.
As what changes through out the years. Well I would say the voters change is one thing. So then opinions would change.
The longer we go on, the less and less there will be voters who will remember just how much of an impact players like Shell and Greenwood had, and that's not going to help either.
An individual is nominated according to his accomplishments in the NFL. That doesn't always mean going by stats. You've got to figure in how they made their team better and what they did with their talent to make their team(s) succeed. Granted someone has a ton of yards ranked in the top 5 or so but no Championships doesn't mean he wouldn't get in. On the same side someone who is ranked in the top 20 or 30 but 4-5 Championships should he not be considered also?

To assure that older players will be considered along with the Modern Era players, a Seniors Committee, made up of nine veteran members of the overall Selection Committee, has been established to consider nominees whose active career has been completed by at least 25 years.
