Antonio Cromartie and Jake Long? How do they decide nominees?

Moose, Walls, Allen, Mills, etc are all up as well.  

I think Mills and Allen eventually find there way in 

When his time comes, Peppers is the only one I’d put a dollar on being first ballot

I could see Wilfork standin out as well with his Super Bowl victories

Ya I hate to say it but in terms of accomplishments Wilfork probably has smith beat due to the rings. They both are the top of that list though. 
 

Also Ware cause he was a cowboy and has a ring.

How about this?  With no real QB, no #2 to take coverage, a run 1st, ball control offense, Smitty rewrote the record books.  Triple Crown winner.  Hadn't been done for 13 years when Steve did it.  Far as I know, hasn't happened since.

Have we mentioned the rules changes?  You know they used to just knock the poo out of a WR in the air?

This bugs me to no end. When people talk about who was the greatest this and that, they never try to factor in situations around them. You will never convince me that Steve Smith's numbers would not have been considered GOAT if he played with Montana and Young almost his entire career. It just freakin wont happen. Pundits will say, "You can "if" all you want to.". It's not about making excuses. If you believe that factor doesn't matter you either know nothing about football or you are lying. They could at least have a conversation about it.....but they wont.

    • And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year 
    • That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.
    • There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
