Who the hell is Will Smith? Anyway, i think Will SHIELDS (i'm assuming you was referring to him) and Rod Smith are legit HOF candidates. But I really hope Craig and Haley goes in as well. (But probably won't because writers are STUPID)

What I don't understand is the writers' criteria to be inducted in the HOF. Does the player have to have a ring? Does he not? It's really astonishing that a super bowl ring (which is a TEAM ACHIEVEMENT rather than an INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT) can determine a player's eligibility for the HOF. Personally, i think that's full of s**t; HOWEVER, if that's the writers' criteria, then how come the player with the most super bowl rings is constantly excluded. Was he not dominate enough? Was it because he was a nut job? Is there some type of bias towards him?

LOLWill Smith, facking brain farts. lol

If Haley, Craig or Eddie D get in I'm so going to the induction again.

I could see the argument for Bledsoe. The only reason he isn't talked about more is because his predecessor blew him away, but he was still great.

Bledsoe ranks fifth all-time in completions (3,839), seventh in passing yards (44,611), and 13th in touchdown passes (251). Bledsoe's career (57.2) completion percentage is lower than all recent Hall of Fame quarterbacks with the exception of John Elway. Bledsoe's NFL career passer rating of (77.1) surpasses nine Hall of Fame Quarterbacks. Bledsoe's 37 regular season 300-yard passing games ranks 9th in league history. He also ranks 6th with (6) in most career regular season 400-yard passing games by NFL quarterback. He was selected to the Pro Bowl four times (in 1994, 1996, 1997, 2002)
