Will Luke be remembered by the world as one of the best?

Calvin Johnson as well.

NFL reporters all over are talking about Luke as a lock for the Hall of Fame. I don't really think it'll be a problem.

A lot of the time, it's just a matter of having an advocate among the selection committee. I took a look at the current committee just out of curiosity. Darin Gantt is a voter.

Out of curiousity, do you know anything about the makeup, turnover on that committee? Because while Gantt is a voter now, obviously Luke isn't even eligible for five years. Would Gantt still be a voter then?

It's largely made up of NFL reporters. You can actually find the current committee (48 members) on the Pro Football Hall of Fame website.

As to how long they stay members, don't know. There's an FAQ but I didn't read it also I don't know the answer to that or if it's even there.

Might be something somebody with Twitter could ask Joe Person or Jourdan Rodrigue.

Luke is the best LB I have ever seen play.  To compare him to Urlacher  is kind of shorting Luke because he was much better than Urlacher  ever thought about being.  He won't be compared to Lewis because his career was to short but 2015 was the best year I have ever seen a defensive player play.  At any position.  He will be the 3rd Panther in the HOF in 5 years.

    • https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!
    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
