Three first-year eligible players were among the class of 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which was announced Thursday night.

Quarterback Brett Favre, wide receiver Terrell Owens and guard Alan Faneca join a deep group of players and coaches from previous years, from which only five modern-era candidate can emerge from the vote held the day before the Super Bowl.

The remaining finalists include the five who were reduced in the vote from 10 finalists to five last year, likely giving them an advantage this year: Linebacker Kevin Greene, quarterback Kurt Warner, tackle Orlando Pace, wide receiver Marvin Harrison and coach Tony Dungy.

The rest of the 15-man class of finalists include: Kicker Morten Andersen, safety Steve Atwater, coach Don Coryell, running back Terrell Davis, tackle Joe Jacoby, running back Edgerrin James and safety John Lynch.

We'll see.

Its honestly a stupid selection process. Have a board vote on each player and require a certain amount of votes to get in. Its hard to put players up against each other when they played in different eras and played such different positions. 

 

And TO is a douchebag but if he doesnt get in on the first ballot it just shows how flawed the system is. He's one of the 5 best to ever play receiver

Agreed. TO should make before Harrison! TO was a diva, no doubt about it, but he was the 2nd best receiver I have ever seen play, 2nd to Jerry Rice. Randy Moss is a really close 3rd, imho.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
