Now that we've all shared how we feel about Will & Bow becoming HOF.. Do you guys ever see Harris Barton and/or Staley becoming a HOF linemen??
When all said and done, who do you all think is actually better between the two OTs??

Barton because he never screamed like a girl when someone rolled his ankle.
Naw but seriously whatever PFF ratings say.

Barton was a RT and Joe Staley is a LT and significantly more athletic (probably better technically too). Staley should pass him in both games played and games started this year. He's also made it to 5 pro bowls compared to 1 at the stronger position (Barton was an all-pro twice though). There's no comparison.
Steve Wallace who played LT at the time is a more equal comparison but I'd still take Staley. Barton has no shot at the hall of fame in my opinion.

I don't think Joe will get in just because of the lack of all pro's. He deserves it, it's just really hard for OL to get recognized the same way skill position players too. People need stats.
It would be awesome if him, Willis, and Frank all get in. 3 HOFers in 3 drafts for Nolan

HARRIS BARTON - we need to consider him an OL who played both sides of OT... he was drafted in 1987 when Montana was still the QB.. he played RT for us when Montana was there, but remember...
... remember that Steve Young took over the team and that made Barton the BLIND SIDE PROTECTOR.. so in my PERSONAL OPINION, he should be considered one of those OL who played both LT and RT..
.. there were even times that he played both Center and OG..

I remember Barton playing LT for a long time, then switched back to RT to protect Young's blind side.

I think Staley is the better player of the two, but Barton was one of the pieces that brought a super bowl team together. Tough call.
