I don't blame fans (and honestly, as a St. Louisan who became a fan in '99, they had every right to move back and be bitter) as much as I do the arbitrarily-limited ruleset of the writers. This is not like baseball, hockey, or basketball where there aren't many deserving candidates. To me, it would be like this: are these players worthy of the Hall based on their own merits? To me, that's more than six who should be there. Include a past candidate, but make it six or seven modern candidates. There are too many excellent players, HOF worthy players, in football as it is.
That S-Jax will never get in the Hall in his lifetime while Gore and Lynch likely will is a travesty of justice. Still, it's not the fault of fans who watched him be the only player worth watching - and the only person able to will them to victory on the rare occasions of wins - on those shitty ass teams. It's the fault of the writers like Peter King who think that he and Holt (and I'll throw in Reggie Wayne; he's long been deserving as well) aren't deserving when they very clearly are.
