Urlacher's career grades out similarly to London Fletcher...both might be HoFers...Urlacher was not a first ballot HoFer, and was overrated for a large portion of his career. I say that to draw the analogue to Bowlen - Bowlen was and is not treated with the respect he deserves, and he is clearly superior to almost every owner in the history of the league. Beathard is someone I've never heard of, and I've almost heard of them all, god dammit.

I always liked Dawkins and he deserved the HOF, but the fact that Atwater still isn’t in is a crime. Atwater had 200 more tackles in 3 less years. He also has 2 Super Bowl rings. I’m not trying to downgrade Dawkins but Atwater should’ve been in first.

I forgot, but Beathard was nominated for this last year. Hopefully Mr. B will be nominated later this year for next year.

Brian Dawkins is more of a Bronco Hall of Famer than say, Tony Dorsett. The Hall of Fame running back was a 10-year Dallas Cowboy before he had one, hardly stellar final season with the Broncos.

Dawkins is not really Willie Brown, either. Brown played his first four seasons with the Broncos from 163-66, before Lou Saban was hired to save the day and traded Brown away to the Oakland Raiders where he played 12 more years.

Dawkins finished his great career as a Bronco, adding two more Pro Bowls in three seasons He still calls Denver home. Yes, the nation considered Dawkins a Philadelphia Eagle, first. But the Broncos were part of the safety who was elected Saturday into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Gradishar & Mecklenburg are both so overdue that it makes the HoF a joke :tsk:

Yep. I thought of this same thing when I saw Dawkins name. I was like "how in the hell does he get in over Atwater?"......puzzling.
