THE SOURCES 2017 NFL HALL OF FAME PICKS..

 First of off is difficult among the many gifted and talented players to pick and select the best of the best , but I have my criteria.

1) Must have dominated in his era for at least 5 years or longer.
2) Had to set records and standards among his peers and his position.
3) He had to be so dominating , nicknames and reputation followed him.
4) he had that factor of I have to watch him regardless of opponent or situation. 
5) Lastly , he contributed something to the league , whether is style of play , work ethic and affect they had on other teams.. in other words teams made an effort to focus and game plan around them. 


With that here are my choices for the upcoming Hall of Fame class that will be announced today Feb 4,2017 .. 

1) LADANIAN TOMLINSON (LT) I'm biased because I'm a big San Diego Charger fan, and he was the reason I started watching NFL football again.. and the reason My youngest son wants to play football.. His stats speak for themselves. Leads the San Diego Chargers in every running back stat, he broke the all time TD record in a season , that may never be broken , because of the leagues rules on the passing game.. LT was a SAND DIEGO CHARGER 2001-2009 , AND NY JETS 2010-2011. HE was league MVP2006 AND 5 TIME PRO BOWLER..He also reintroduced the stiff arm that helped him break away on his many tds in his career. To me hes a sure HALL OF FAME PICK..

2) DON CORYELL ( AIR CORYELL) ,ST LOUIS CARDINAL 1974-1977. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS 1978-1986 .. This is long overdue , he created a offense that was so fun to watch and had many hall of famers produced by that offense. Dan Fouts , Charlie Joiner , Kellen Winslow.. this would be a wonderful tribute to a San Diego Product , he was also the only coach ever to win over 100 games in College and 100 games as a NFL Pro coach.. This has to happen .. Give San Diegans there final tribute as their team leaves to LOS ANGELES.. 

3) JOHN LYNCH- 1993-2003 TAMPA BAY BUCANNEERS , 2004-2009 DENVER BRONCOS. Tremendous player , and smart as heck , classy act and a san Diego native. Grew up in Torrey Pines and once again a great trbute to a San Diegan and a great way to have closure for san Diegan fans to see a native be inducted into the Hall of Fame class.. 

4) Kurt warner - He was the leader of the greatest show on earth with the ST LOUIS RAMS, and threw for a record breaking 414 yards in SUPER BOWL 34. He finished with the Arizona Cardinals and took them to the Big Game .. He is a well deserving candidate and a true fairy tale story of rags to riches. He would make a great acceptance speech and add more class to the other inductees.. 

5) TERREL OWENS- His stats speak for themselves - 2nd ever in NFL history in receiving yards 15,934.. 3rd in TOUCH DOWNS 152 . BEHIND ONLY BY LT AND JERRY RICE.. He had 5 seasons of 1200 yards receiving.. Amazing stats , but I know his antics , his attitude and his arrogance turned off many including coaches and players, but like Muhammad Ali , his greatness and what he did on the field is whats going to get him in. Its time to let go off his mean attitude and selfish me me look at me personna. He is deserving and would add a dramatic over the top acceptance speech I would love to see and  listen too!! 

Special mention ; 
TERREL DAVIS - an another San Diego Native and good guy , but.. He didn't hit the criteria that fits my standards for hall of fame, close very close.even border line. But he is the only running back along with the Great Jim Brown to average 100 yards rushing in regular and post season play!!He was league MVP 1998 AND SUPER BOWL 37 MVP AND is still the Denver Broncos Leading rusher, but because he career was so short.. like Gale sayers comparison. but Gale was so dominating and scary. Terrel was not spectacular but consistent. But his short career is whats haunting his nomination .. In my humble opinion.. If they could or would why not put 6 players in and two running backs.. but chances are he will wait another year..
