Palamalu and Hutchinson are the only guys HOF worthy. Terribly mediocre class.
I will still beat the drum that Don Coryell is more important to NFL than any of these other guys. And Tom Flores not in the HOF is a crime. Two time SB winner from the same franchise that out Madden in with only one.
As others have said I never once thought Gore, Martin, or James were ever HOF worthy. But they have the numbers to back it up. And in a passing league if you are top 15 and top3 in rushing yards it does speak to some level of greatness.
Would you put in James or Harrison? I'd argue Harrison was more a product of Manning than James was. I think neither belong based on eyeball test but the stats say otherwise.
