I still don't understand why the HOF committee members had such a difficult time separating him, Andre Reed, and Tim Brown. They were on completely separate, easily discernable levels. As I stated before, I don't see Tim Brown as a HOFer. He might get in at some point, but to me he was just a good WR, not a great one. I'd put Marvin Harrison (eligible next year) in before I'd put Tim Brown in. |
I dunno, I think Tim Brown deserves to get in, same with Andre Reed but I do agree with you that I would put Marvin in before Tim |
I Dont think any reciever will make it next year but harrison will be the next one in |
I doubt Harrison will make it on first ballot but I would be shocked if he does |

With Carter going in this year, it makes it 5 Vikings in the last 6 years
2008: Zimmerman
2009: McDaniel
2010: Randle
2011: None
2012: Doleman
2013: Carter

Very nice! Next will be Brett Farve and then probably Randy Moss unless another Viking gets in before Moss |

Even though it will count, most people won't count Favre as a Viking. Heck, I wouldn't. It's not like Favre played the substantive part of his career with the Vikings, unlike the above-mentioned players.
Outside of any potential senior candidates (Marshall/Tingelhoff), I don't see any other Viking players on the horizon anytime soon. Moss would be the next, because I don't see Joey Browner ever getting close.
There are plenty of other nominees like Favre that spent time in Vikings unis, but I wouldn't consider true Vikings:
Randall Cunningham
Roger Craig
Herschel Walker
Chris Hinton
Darryl Talley
Morten Andersen
Gary Anderson

Agreed. BTW I left Moon off the list, who was inducted in 2006.

| Of current Vikings I would say both Peterson and Allen are likely and Kwill has a chance. |

Of course Peterson will get in, Allen will too but I doubt Williams will, yes, he has a good career but he was not great like Randle and Page and Williams does not have the stats to get in either |

| He doesn't have great stats necessarily but he is a 5 time all-pro and that's significant. |

True but I think it might be a long time until he gets in though |
