    No doubt.

    His perfectly timed leap sacks are iconic images.

    He was great.

    For sure, one of my favorite players to watch on Defense in the past 10 years, right up there with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.

    Yes if he did not win any Superbowls he probably would not be a HOF, but with 2 he definitiely is.

    MAN. You're not understanding. We're talking about getting into the hall of fame. He said without the Super Bowls, Troy wouldn't get in. I am saying the opposite, SBs don't matter for HOF consideration for defensive players.

    Swann and Stallworth in the Hall of fame. Ricky Proehl probably has more catches than both of them combined

    I think I'm with you. I didn't think he was that good at USC. But he does coincide with usc's big turn around along with Carson Palmer.

    Pretty sure this was an attention thread by Archie, because he knows he's basically a first ballot lock

    I have to agree. I look at some of the lists and go "at which year did the watering down start?"

    In music and in sports, the first couple years are easy. Then, for what ever reason, they start adding in people who aren't elite. Hall of Fame is for ELITE, the cream, not just for "very good."
