I think its way too early for Beason, Stewart, or DeAngelo to be considered. Beason is a good linebacker, but he’d need to pick up his game before he could be considered a Hall of Famer. Stewart could be, or he could turn out to be just a good backup (not likely, but its way too early to tell). I think if DeAngelo has around 6 more seasons like he had this past year, he’d definitely be in. The only problem is he’d have to dominate until he’s in his 30s, and with his style of play, it would be difficult to accomplish.

I don’t think there’s any way Moose would get in. He’s a pretty good receiver who blocks well, and had a couple great seasons. That’s just not enough. I doubt Gross would make it in either. Its hard enough for an offensive lineman to make it in, and playing for a lesser known team would make it more difficult. If Gross has a shot, I think it would hinge a lot on DeAngelo/Stewart’s careers.

The one I think we’d all like to see get in would be Sam Mills, but its very doubtful that would happen either. He was a great player, but just doesn’t have the stats to get him in. If character came into play, he’d definitely find his way in.

I think for now, unless something changes, Steve Smith has the best shot at getting in, and I think even that may be a bit of a longshot. But we’re a new team, it’ll come to us eventually.

but that doesn’t really count. I think Smith might make it in, as he could be like Joey Galloway and just keep on going. It’s too early to tell with most of our current guys.
