[QUOTE="ivo610, post: 456711, member: 2128"] I will start off by saying that I think the Hall of Fame voters are doing an excellent job of whats in front of them. My biggest issue with the HOF process is that it hasnt caught up to modern times. Some of the best reporters on the planet dont work for papers anymore, they work for websites. I think Aaron Nagler is one of the most well versed reporters when it comes to football and would make a great voter. Nate Dunley (SP?) is insanely knowledgable and could be indys voter. Hopefully someday it will better reflect the times. I have very high respect for most of the HOF voters. Its too bad what happened to Paul Zimmerman because he was the most knowledgable man on the planet (Joe Horrigan is up there) when it came to pro football. People say Players should have a vote, and here is an example of my issue with players voting. They dont have the knowledge. I have met dozens of players who have never heard of Don Hutson. The idea someone would call Hutson better than Jerry Rice is insane to them. Yet you have a reporter in Peter King who has stood up to a large amount of criticism and stood firm on his opinion that Don Hutson is the greatest NFL player of all time. Paul Zimmerman said Marion Montley was the greatest RB of all time. Clearly not a popular opinion. Paul actually went back and found as much footage as possible of the greats from before his time to form his own opinion. Instead of just what everyone else said. Few players or fans go that route.
