I've always wondered about this too. He was just elected the Chargers Hall of Fame this year. They put in Darren Bennett before him. Bennett was a cool punter who clocked a few returners with his Aussie Rules tackling style but, c'mon, a punter over a guy who's tied at No. 11 in all-time sacks with Lawrence Taylor?

I'm compeltely befuddled that anyone doesn't think Seau is a sure fire, no question, no doubt first ballot HOFer.
19 year career, MANY first team All Pros, many Pro Bowls, starter on 1990s All Decade team, Defensive POY. It's not a resume many can match.

If you look at hard core production, his is certainly high, but let's compare him to Clay Matthews (senior - the Browns linebacker). Matthews has been eligible much longer, and I think he played on pretty comparable defenses. Matthews made it to the semifinals this year, but is not a finalist. Clay Matthews - 19 seasons, 15 where he started 13+ games (he played in 2 strike-shortened seasons) 248 starts 1,561 tackles 69.5 sacks 16 interceptions 27 forced fumbles Top three years in tackles: 128, 126, 113 Top three years in sacks: 12, 9, 6.5 Junior Seau 20 seasons, 14 where he started 12+ games 234 starts 1,522 tackles 47 sacks 18 interceptions 11 forced fumbles Top three years in tackles: 129, 129, 124 Top three years in sacks: 7, 7, 7 I don't understand why Seau is considered a first-ballot guy while Matthews is not even a finalist. One might point out what Seau was a 12-time pro bowler and 6-time all pro, while Matthews only made 4 pro bowls. But that's a lot about reputation. If you look at Seau's first five years in the league, here are his stats: 78 starts, 569 tackles, 18 sacks, 4 int, 3 forced fumbles. He was named all-pro three times and went to four pro bowls In that same five-year period from 1990 through 1994, here are Clay Matthews' stats: 77 starts, 447 tackles, 25.5 sacks, 3 int, 11 forced fumbles. He didn't make a single pro bowl during that period. Now, Seau had a lot more tackles, so I'll give him that. But Matthews was 38 years old at the end of this five-year period, so we're comparing Seau's peak years against Matthews' end-of-career years. Seau was piling up accolades when he was making fewer big plays. Again, I'm not saying no to Seau, but I just think he was overhyped a lot, which produced a lot of pro bowls compared to other players with similar production.

As I write this, it says 50 people have voted.
But Will Shields only has 41 votes. 9 people need to go ahead and stab themselves in the face. |

It's the question everybody is asking. It's the biggest mystery of 2015 so far.
However, wikipedia offers a very cool fact about Tony Dungy. He is the most recent player who has both made an interception and thrown an interception in the same game. He was a safety who came in as the emergency quarterback for the Steelers in 1978. (I also didn't know he was part of the Steel Curtain.)

If Tony dungy gets in, any coach that has won a super bowl needs to get in. I'm fine with Jimmy Johnson, but No way dungy deserves it
