He's making a very good case.

First ballot? I would think so but he is a Saint, so there's that....

Well, Goodell and the league office have no say on who gets elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That's 100% on the 49 members on the selection committee made up of mostly broadcasters and sports writers. Anyone can nominate a candidate, however, from what I read. Even you or I can write a letter to the Hall of Fame proposing a nomination. I never knew that.

The 49... 49'ers, Cowboys, Packers, Bears, Patriots, Steelers, Redskins, and Bills fans...? Might as well be Goodell.

One thing that matters, but shouldn't, is what the voters think of the candidate personally. There are few people in the entire league more liked and more accommodating with the press than Cam Jordan.

Yes but that's only a portion of it. No one gets in on their own merit, you have to first have your own merit and secondly you have to stand out amongst that years candidates. Its the contrast that kills most people and most of the voters are not Saints fans which means Cam gets less viewership from the voters.

To my point, would Cutler have been talked about as much as a Saint? No, but he was a Bear so he had greater exposure. Mother f***ers play favorites whether we want to believe that or not.

Knock on wood, the longevity and availability and solid production has him amassing some very nice HOF totals. Hoping so.

As it stands no

His numbers might deserve it, but no rings,no DPOY. Only 1 1st team all pro.

He will get caught up in a numbers game and will be one of those waiting for a quiet year to get in. Look at the players waiting now from the 2000-2010 era. Cam will be up with both Watt brothers,Cox,Suggs,Miller,Donald etc in a era that's offense first. He will be waiting along time

Precisely what I was going to say. It's not all about stats. He has 1 All Pro and no Super Bowl.

Why does 1 All Pro matter? Because that's a press selection as well and the numbers do not add up for Cam sadly.

He probably would need another 3 10+ sack seasons to be considered.
If he could pass 150 sacks I think he'd get in right away.
