    Is Steve Young a first ballot hall of famer? No? Is he a hall of fame QB in general?

    What are your thoughts, gents?

    I would think he's a first ballot. For my money, I think he's the greatest combination of mobility, accuracy, leadership of any QB in the NFL history. Had he gotten a chance to play earlier, his stats would have been better.

    tds 232
    int 107
    comp % 64.3
    Rushing yds 4200 and 43 tds

    What a shame the only ring that Steve won is the one that the 49'ers bought by abusing league rules and salary cap restrictions that year.

    I guess he's got three or four backing up Montana as well, but still...

    His career was cut too short by sitting behind other Qb's and concusions, now thats the shame. He has lead the NFL in most passing Tds in 4 seasons.

    Still even without super bowl first ballot HOF. If you look at his QB rating it is almost always of temperature . . . on the sun!!

    Sanders, Irvin, Marino, Young. Dawk says nice class, I say half class. Marino is automatic. Young is borderline, but the time he played in the best offense ever developed will lead him to the promised land... Not first ballot though... Sanders... No way ever. Great at times, but only good enough for much of the time. Selfpromotion doesn't buy votes. I don't think that Micheal played long enough at a high enough clip to get there. To borrow an argument about Tim Brown... Only 90 or more receptions twice in twelve years of play. Only one other season at 80 or more.

    Will they entertain putting Derrick Thomas in this year? It will be year 5 for him too.

    Young....1st Ballot
    Marino....1st Ballot
    Sanders.....1st Ballot(only the best cover CB ever, but hey, your right, leave him out)
    Irvin....not familar with the numbers, but he seems like a sure HOFer
    Thomas....1st ballot

    One won't make the cut. I agree with you Beef, but don't they always select 1 or 2 from an earlier era? I think that they always do. Anyone know for sure?

    I think Aikman's eligible next year or the year after, too. He's automatic.
