Bruce Smith, Rod Wooson, and Randall McDaniel are all no doubt, sure fire Hall of Famers.

And good for Ralph Wilson. You can't use stats to measure owners, but anecdotaly, I fully support his inclusion.

Derrick Thomas was borderline, but I'm really happy for him that he did get in. There were some snubs who deserved it more than him though.

The real perplexing one is 'Bullet' Bob Hayes. Really? A dynamic kick returner early in his career, his career as a pass receiver certainly doesn't suggest that he would one day be in Canton. He was a good punt returner, but only 3 career TDs. I don't know how you can justify him over Sharpe, Carter, or even Andre Reed.
