IMO Joe Jacoby should definitely be in the HOF, hopefully he gets in soon...

Redskins: Joe Jacoby Hurt, Not Surprised He’s Not A Hall of Fame Finalist « CBS DC (http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/01/11/jacoby-disappointed-not-surprised-hes-not-a-hall-of-fame-finalist/)

“The Redskins were our fiercest rival,” Parcells said. “You know the players from their team almost as well as you know your own players. Joe and [Hall of Fame guard] Russ [Grimm] and [Hall of Fame receiver] Art Monk and those guys earned my respect just by virtue of the competition they provided for us. Joe was certainly up there among the very best. Joe had a lot of toughness and he was a pretty smart player. We had difficulty fooling him. There were some very, very good speed rushers back then, and Joe did well against them. And he was pretty good in the running game, too. Joe was a very, very critical part in the championships [the Redskins] won.”

Giants outside linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who basically redefined that position into a pass-rushing spot, was quite the challenge, but Parcells said that Taylor “made it hard on Lawrence,” something that LT told Jacoby at a golf tournament a few years back.

I also really hope Dexter Manley gets into the HOF, from what I've read about him and seen of him he seemed like a dominant player. For those of you that watched both Dexter Manley and Charles Haley play, who do you think was the more dominant player between the two? And who do think is more deserving of the HOF?

Gary Clark was the toughest receiver I've ever seen, he loved going down the middle didn't mind getting hit and wasn't a pussy like say Jerry Rice who always ducked. He always made the Madden toughest player awards for a reason, even Madden used to say he was the toughest. Loved Clark!

Just check how many times Gary made the all Madden team starting 1986 into the the early/mid 90's

You're right. Gary was a very underrated player which is why he hasn't been considered for getting into the HOF. As I said before, he has the numbers because his career stats compare evenly with Michael Irvin's career stats.
