Darrell Green... first ballot hof?

if darrell green is not a first ballot hall of famer than something is seriously wrong in the world

No doubt. It's a near certainty. Is he eligible this next year, or the year after?

im not sure... the wait is 5 years right??

Yeah.

If 81 is not a first ballot HOFer, then no way should 28 be one. I like him and all, but no way is Darrell Green more deserving than Art Monk.

I would say that Darrell Green is absolutely a Hall of Fame player, who will greatly benefit by the fact that no other "mortal locks" retired the same year he did.

I hope he does make it, and soon, because I'm sure he will credit his skill to (after God and the coaching staff) the players he practiced against - namely Art Monk. It occurs to me that the only way the writers are going to vote him in is if they are shamed into it.

Something is seriously wrong with the world as shown by Art Monk not being a selectee -- yet. Darrell is entirely deserving of a first ballot election, but I say the voters won't put him in until they vote Deion Sanders in first. And know what they will say? Even Daniel Snyder benched Green for Sanders !!!

The pressure will be high to put Darrell in b/c he was such a good role model on top of being a great player. At least I hope so. It will be sweet if he says some stuff about Art Monk trying to grease the wheels on his admission too.

i disagree that d snyder benched mr green. it was shottenhiemer (spelling?) and old #28 should be first ballot, maybe the first original lockdown corner

Monk should have been but Green shouldn't have to pay for idiot sports writters mistake.
