Hall of Fame Nominees

Mills and Jackson are nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame again. Do you believe either will be inducted this year, or in the coming years?

I think of the two, Mills has the better shot, but I still think his chances are slim. He did have an impressive career.

Mills will probably get it because of his recent death and popularity around the league. In terms of who deserves it more Rickey Jackson was a monster linebacker who could change the game by his play.

If Mills doesn't get it now, it may be a long time comin'. Not sure who all the nominees are but he seems deserving. If the hall votes give little more credence to what you and I look for, I'd say Jackson is a no-brainer. But I think Sammy Knight should get a Hall of Fame nod down the road - so what do I know?
