Sure picks?
There is only one current Chicago Bear on this list:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=halloffame/nfl41-50
How is Olin Kreutz not on that list? Furthermore, how is it that our players get zero hype. Olsen could very easily have been considered if they're going to put the likes of Adrian Peterson and Charles Johnson on the list. It's almost as if the writers from the coasts deliberately piss off the city of Chicago. It's probably because they hate Jay Mariotti, but whatever.
This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Furthermore, they mention how Troy Aikman was a first ballot hall of famer. What about these numbers say the guy should have been a first ballot inductee? He won three Super Bowls, but he had, literally, the best OL in the league for many years. I hate the fact that you are a lock on the hall if you happen to have played when your team was stacked. It's asinine.
I will say this, I would really be excited if Rex Grossman could turn into the good Aikman years. There are those who argue that "he can't be Peyton Manning". Well, I think he CAN be Troy Aikman, at the very least.
I think we have the surrounding talent to win at least 3 or 4 Super Bowls in the next 8 years. Yes, we, too, will have a stacked team and therefore will have many inductees into the HOF in 15 years or so. That is how prophetic I feel today (or delusional...)
Bear Down!

The first super bowl he was awesome, but I think you would agree the second and third were not great performances by a QB, they were just efficient.
In any event, everyone always says "well, Grossman can't be Manning". Well, I really believe he can be Aikman. And I think he'll show that this year. I really do.
Plus, I put the disclaimer that I was probably being delusional anyhow, so you're probably right...

One word for that article...

I don't get why everyone's angry.
With the older guys like Favre, Larry Allen, Ray Lewis, it's obvious. Middle guys like Brady, Manning and Urlacher are just an injury-free remaining career from being 1st-ballot.
Kreutz is an obvious omission. But still, Bears fans are so sensitive. Do we need to go to group session today?

On that last part...
But you're right. They give them these point things to make it look more "statty". It's stupid, because it's not stats at all.
