To me, and this is only my personal opinion, but Pass rushers are the most vital position outside of QB a football team has. Perhaps I'm biased because I watched the Chiefs, for years, dominate defensively because of a monster rush. I watched Derrick Thomas, via 'kc strip', change entire games on a regular basis.
Now the HOF lets QB's in far more than other positions and I accept that largely because I accept the fact that QB is simply a more important position than others. Perhaps that's a stupid way to view it, but it's how I view it. There are a lot of pass rushers that should be in the HOF, but number one on my list right now is Kevin Greene. Until he's in there, Smith has to wait.
