What present and former Falcons will make or should make the HOF?

Here's a list of who I think will or should make it.

If it weren't for the injuries I would have to say:

William Andrews

Jamal Anderson

Some former players who I think will make it:

Michael Vick - just stay healthy.

Terrence Mathis - maybe this one is just hopeful thinking but he did have a good carrer.

Algie Crumpler - is the type of TE who could make it if this or that.

Current players:

Matt Ryan

Roddy White

Tyson Claybo

Tony Gonzalez - It's a given.

I'm pretty sure some will agree and/or disagree so go right ahead. Most importantly who do you think will or should make it.

Vick- **** no

Mathis- Hall of very good

Crumpler- you're kidding right?

Ryan-Way too soon

White-If he keeps it up for 4-5 more years

Clabo: :huh: :wacko:

Gonzo-Obviously

ANYBODY but #21, the most selfish, all about me player the Falcons ever had. Still waiting to see his first form tackle. His induction is a disgrace to all former, current and Falcon players to be, not to mention the fans.

Auther Blank - Tear down that Rag from the rafters !!!

As far as current members besides tony...

1. Roddy because altho he'll be getting older, he'll have the consistency of matt ryan throwing him the ball and julio should take more pressure off of roddy.

2. Matt because I think he can be consistent and keep winning us games for many many years.

Too early to say about anyone else.

Past

1. Tommy Nobis

2. Claude Humphrey

3. Morten Andersen

4. Jessie Tuggle

Present

1. Tony Gonzalez

Abraham is the right caliber when healthy and playing well, but he has had injury laden years and consistency issues, so I don't think so.

Our young players who look like they have the potential to become one of the greats at their position and get a shot:

Young Talent:

1. Roddy White - still has 7 or more years left in him if he takes care of himself. If he continues to improve and play the way he has - who knows?

2. Matt Ryan - Still a baby in his position relative to the greats in the league now, but if he continues to improve, stays healthy and maintains his work ethic and attitude - he has the potential.

Wild Thoughts:

3. William Moore - Just a feeling about him. Way, way too soon to tell - but he has the potential to be very special in this league.

4. Julio Jones - Rookie and it is insane to say that he has that potential - but if he lives up to half of his hype, start ordering that yellow jacket.

Nobis, Humphrey, Tuggle, and Morten Andersen will get in eventually. Obviously Tony G will.

I'm going to say this and say it with the utmost confidence:

Matt Ryan will be a first ballot hall of famer. I have no doubt in my mind he will lead us to a Lombardi Trophy.

I also think Roddy will be as well. I think if Abe gets a ring with us and shows up strong in the big game he's a lock.

I've got a good feeling about Spoon and Julio too.

I have a feeling that Tommy Nobis will get in eventually, even though he has to rely on being nominated by the seniors committee as one of their 2 finalists.

Claude Humphrey was put forward by the seniors committeee for considerastion in 2010 but missed out in the final vote (even though over 80% of seniors nominees have got in over the last 10-15 years). Most players that get selcted by the seniors committee don't get put forward for again, although a small number have been lucky. If he does get another chance, he will probabaly have to wait a decade of more.

I would love to see Jessie Tuggle there. He's another great player who was held back by playing for some horrible teams, and doesn't get anywhere near the regognition that he deserved. Sadly, my gut feeling is that Tuggle will continue to be overlooked.

Of the current team, Gonzalez is a no brianer. I think it's too early for everybody esle. Roddy would need 4-5 very good season again before he becomes a serious contender on the numbers (he has 6000 yards, and will need about 13,000 or 14,000 to be up there with the tops WRs), which may be difficult given his age. I like Ryan's chances based on his performances to date, but he has to stay at the top for another decade or win a couple of champiosnhips to have a shot.

Abraham is a outside possibility. His 102.5 career sacks is currently 21st all-time. If he could add another 30 sacks he'd be approaching the top 10 of all time, although he is at an age where three 10 sack seasons is probably a big stretch.
