Nope.

Here's my 1st ballot list:

Aikman
White
Moon
Madden

The rest, not sure. Maybe Derrick Thomas. The rest of the names really didn't stand out to me as being worthy at this time.

WELL THE COWBOYS NEED TO CONVERT HERE. IF THEY DONT GET 10 YARDS, THEY WONT CONVERT. THEY MIGHT PASS IT ON THIS DOWN. LOOK OUT FOR THE QB IF THEY DO.

If you don't know anything about football, Madden is a good commentator because he spells everything out for you, but it's pretty damn annoying if you do know anything about football. He might have been a good coach, but his commentating is just too annoying for me to give him my vote.

plus everyone in the business say he is a dick, and thinks he is the greatest thing walking.

You don't think Aikman will get in first ballot? He led the cowboys to 3 superbowl wins in the 90's and he was considered the QB for a dynasty. Not to mention from 90-99 he has 90 wins, thats more wins in a single decade then any quarterback ever.
EDIT: About madden yah as an announcer I hate him but as a coach his Raiders were the best team they ever fielded.

I know enough about football that I dont need him telling me what Encroachment or a 2nd and 4 means lol, but he seriously cracks me up at all times. I especially like when he gets his pen out and starts circling things like hot dogs or big cups of beer.

The Football HOF is bullshit anyways. Atleast the voters are. You're telling me Art Monk isn't in yet? Or Aikman? I'm not sure about Aikman though. Is this his first year of eligibility? And no, Irving should never been in the HoF. He was in the right place and the right time. He'll still get in eventually, though. It's all about how many sports media people you're friends with.

what i dont like is there has to be atleast 3 people entered, and no more than 6.


even if nobody deserves it. i say if you get the votes, you are in. dont make it so 3 have to be in.

I don't buy into the popular opinion that being on a great team makes you a great quarterback. Handing the ball to Emmitt Smith is not a Hall of Fame talent. Sure the Cowboys were winning Superbowls, but no one ever drafted Aikman to their fantasy football team because you don't get points for handing off the ball.

I agree. You should only ever get 1 chance to be in the hall of fame, either you are good enough or you aren't. That may mean a bunch of people make it at a time when a generation retires but this bullshit of being voted on multiple times is BS.

Yah he might not of scored the touchdowns but he was one of the most accurate passer's in NFL history and the cowboys won a lot of games on his Arm.

When times handing off the ball becomes a desireable quarterback stat, I'll recommend Troy Aikman for the Hall of Fame immediately.

Don't forget the "Getting knocked silly and not even making sense to Texans" category, in which Aikman was without competition.

Aikman = 90s version of Tom Brady. IMHO

Emmitt Smith....now talk about the most overrated running back of all time.

Another product of that offensive line. That was the real amazing part of that team.
