I'll be damned if they BOTH get in this year.

[steelpride12]

I don't think it's Bettis's time just yet, but I do this Dawson is well overdue!

[SMR]

My gut actually tells me the Bus gets in this year and Awesome Dawson doesn't.

[st33lersguy]

They both should be elected this year

[memphissteelergirl]

They both should be elected this year

If they do, I'll be spending my vacation in Canton this year.

If they do, I'll be spending my vacation in Canton this year.

Good plannin' hon!

[Hindes204]

I hope they both get in...both deserve it

[hotrodder07]

I think Dawson gets left out again this year, unfortunately. I believe Jerome makes it, though.

[Texasteel]

I hope they both get in...both deserve it

I think so too, bud, but don't think it will happen. If it does you'll hear the cowboys crying like babies all next year.... Dawson gets in, I think Bettis will have to wait.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Both should get in this year.

[7willBheaven]

congrats...they both will get in at some point...we all know that.

[BigNastyDefense]

I would love for both Bettis and Dirt Dawson to get in this year. That would be kick ass.

Even if it's just one of the two, Steeler Nation will represent like always!

[Psycho Ward 86]

There's 15 other finalists fellas, so they arent in yet

[Godfather]

Bettis, who retired after the Steelers won Super Bowl XL, is one of five first-year eligible players who are finalists, including Marshall Faulk, Curtis Martin, Will Roaf and Deion Sanders. Other finalists include Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Richard Dent, Chris Doleman, Charles Haley, Cotrez Kennedy, Andre Reed, Ed Sabol and Shannon Sharpe.

Wow...whoever gets left off, it'll be an injustice.

[Merchant]

Don't see Bettis making it in right off the bat as much as I love the guy. I think Dawson has a higher chance tbh.

[Galax Steeler]

It is well deserved for both of them if they can get in.

[TroysBarber]

Although both deserve it, if only one of them makes it this tear, I hope it's Dawson. He shouldve been inducted long ago.

[HometownGal]

Great news! :applaudit: I believe both deserve to get in but I think Dirt will finally make it but Jerome may have to wait until next time. I pray I'm wrong about the Bus and imho, he is very deserving of that honor NOW.

[LLT]

They both should be elected this year

They should...but ...wow....this is a loaded class!!!

[SteelGhost]

Both deserve it, but my guess is Dawson gets in first.
