    Why isnt Jacoby a sure thing? Starting LT on 4 Super Bowl teams, 3 Winners. Best player on the Most famous offensive line in the last 40 years. 2 time All Pro. His contemporaries, Munoz and Zimmerman are in and Jacoby was at least as good and his teams were more successful.

    While his story certainly helps, Warner gets in on performance.

    You think Jacoby is "at least as good" as Munoz?

    Yes, he should.

    Taking two historically bad franchises to Super Bowls trumps spending a few seasons in the middle of his career as a backup. Watching Arizona fall off the map right after he left doesn't hurt his cause either.

    What is Dungy's legacy as a coach besides his record and Super Bowl win. He wasn't the first black head coach. I don't think he was the first African American head coach to get fired and rehired, a dubious distinction if true. First to win a Super Bowl? BFD If having a winning record over 10 years or more and a Super Bowl win is what a coach needs to get in then he needs to get behind Tom Flores.

    His legacy is what? as the NFL's version of Bagger Vance. Is he Rufus grown up, the 13th Apostle?

    No. slight hyperbole. But of the best tackles of the 80's he's top 3 or 4, Munoz included. The Hogs didnt revolutionize OLine play but they popularized more than any other group. He was their best lineman. Undrafted.

    I think Warner should be in easy. I'm guessing the God stuff hurts him.

    Does it hurt Dungy or make Dungy that much more special?

    I don't see the case for Dungy. Can a proponent explain?
    Yes, he helped revive a terrible franchise. So did Jim Mora Sr.
