    Seriously though, as mentioned, could you even imagine Polomalu and Reed, in their primes, playing together as FS and SS? Unfair wouldn’t even begin to describe it.
    You know, I have thought about that, and I'm not sure if it would have worked out. Troy needed someone who would cover for him when he free-lanced. Making Reed do that would have hindered his own instinctual plays, I think. It's one of those things where the sum of the parts is greater than the whole rather than the opposite.

    Great for Troy. Definately a first ballot HOF.

    Faneca gets ripped off again. He and Will Sheilds were the best OG of his era and then he and Hutchinson were the best towards the end of Alan's career.

    IMO, Steve Atwater belongs in the hall of very good.

    I'm so happy for Troy and the Steelers. He has always represented Pittsburgh with a level of class not seen too often. The Hall just got better with the addition of 43

    Congrats to Troy, I love that he is so humble and gives credit to his teammates for helping him to become who he was. A true hero for kids to look up to, he is a very good person outside of football.

    Yep - Atwater 2 time All Pro as opposed to Faneca 6 time All Pro

    Not as if they did not want 2 players from the same position inducted since 2 safeties are getting in

    Probably a combination of Atwater had been waiting longer after multiple times as a finalist along with the usual there are enough Steelers in Canton crowd with Troy, Cowher and Shell getting in

    It is an arbitrary PR exercise but Faneca should get in soon as the only current viable Steeler (Hines Ward is a longshot) in the HOF pipeline until Ben retires

    Congrats to Polamalu, well deserved. He was an obvious choice. As for Faneca, no way the Hall would let them in considering they already elected Cowher and Shell and had to let in Polamalu or essentially render themselves invalid

    The Broncos player that should be in there is Gradishar. 7 Pro Bowls (when that still meant something), 6-time All-Pro and DPOY in 1978.

    Yep. He was a far better player than Atwater IMO.

    Agreed, he was the guy that you thought of when it came to those Bronco defenses.

    Conversely, when I think of Broncos safety in the 90's, I think of Dennis Smith having better range in that secondary and Atwater being the hitter. One could argue that Smith was the more valuable safeties in that Denver defense. Faneca still got jobbed, but no way they put in 4 Steelers in the HOF the same class, so I guess he will have to wait some more.

    Faneca will get in next year, suck he had to wait but it is what it is.

    After him it'll be a while until a Steeler gets inducted in the HOF. Assuming Ben would be next.

    I remember the AFC team LBs would have Ham, Lambert, Gradishar. Like clockwork.
