Are They "Hall Worthy"?

I love football analysis, bit I'm growing tired of listening to whether certain players are worthy of election to the Hall of Fame. We were inundated during the last few weeks as to whether Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin are worthy candidates in the future.

I think the term "Future Hall of Famer" is used too often these days. They would need to build another wing in Canton to include all of the players that are thrown into the mix. The "experts" seem to imply that here is a magical formula for election to the hall, based on the amount of Super Bowls won.

Championships make a huge difference. There are players who get bypassed because they played on lousy teams. I have an issue with the amount receivers and running backs who are considered electable.

One needs only to look on the recent elections to see that RB Jermome Bettis was bypassed again as well as WR's Chris Carter, Andre Rison and Tim Brown.

In the past, 10,00 rushing yards was a standard to make it. Now there are 26 players who have rushed for over 10,000, including the recently retired Ricky Williams.

The election committee needs to focus on other positions. Many are still puzzled about Ray Guy has not been elected. Perhaps, it's because he is a punter and not considered as a player. There is also a shortage of cornerbacks and safeties.
