Voted but it does irritate me the picture is him in a Ravens uniform.

But maybe that gives him a better chance to get in. Sad, but true.
RE: Vote for Willie Anderson - Yojimbo - 10-15-2020
Voted for Willie, but there’s a ton of guys you can vote for and you can vote as many times and as often as you want. Also, Chad Johnson and Corey Dillion are on there, so vote for them, too. Also also, Chris Samuels had the best shoulder pads ever.
RE: Vote for Willie Anderson - bfine32 - 10-15-2020
I got a good feeling that Manning dude is going to make it.
RE: Vote for Willie Anderson - Murdock2420 - 10-15-2020
I'd like to vote for Willie to be O-line coach...

Don't feel too bad, looks like they just used the last photo of them active.
See Manning as a Bronco, or Cunningham as a Viking.
Clearly Manning goes in as a Colt, Cunningham as an Eagle, and Willie would be a Bengal
RE: Vote for Willie Anderson - Sled21 - 10-16-2020
Voted for Willie and Chad in an exercise in futility
RE: Vote for Willie Anderson - Destro - 10-16-2020
Chad will never get in and pretty sure Dillion never makes it.
RE: Vote for Willie Anderson - Shake n Blake - 10-16-2020
Other former Bengals:
Chad Johnson
Corey Dillon
Takeo Spikes
Justin Smith
Richmond Webb
Lo Neal
Vote for them as well.
Players I think are HOF worthy:
DE John Abraham
RB Shaun Alexander (from Boone County HS)
RB Corey Dillon
CB Eric Allen
DE Jared Allen
K Gary Anderson
T Willie Anderson
CB Ronde Barber
T Lomas Brown
S Leroy Butler
G Alan Faneca
RB Eddie George
WR Torry Holt
RB SJax
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Chad Johnson
QB Peyton Manning
KR/RB Eric Metcalf
KR/RB Brian Mitchell
DE Simeon Rice
DT Richard Seymour
WR Jimmy Smith
DE Neil Smith
LB/DE Pat Swilling
CB Charles Tillman
DE Greg Townsend
WR Hines Ward
RB Ricky Watters
WR Reggie Wayne
DT Kevin Williams
LB Patrick Willis
G Steve Wisniewski
CB/S Charles Woodson
S Darren Woodson
DT Bryant Young
Honestly, looking over the entire list made me realize that the NFL is probably a bit too strict about who they let in.

Probably nowadays.
But when mediocre (even for their time) players like Swann, Bradshaw and Stallworth are in, it's complete BS.

Agreed. It seems the criteria has been "fluid" over the years. I think a heavy weight should be placed on how great players were in their primes, as well as how famous they were. It is the Hall of Fame after all. Unfortunately, they've placed more emphasis on (often padded) career stats and what team you played for (Steelers, Cowboys, etc).
Bettis was not a better RB than CD at their primes for example. We all know this.
Same goes for Chad vs Hines. Hines was often not the best WR on his own team.
RE: Vote for Willie Anderson - George Cantstandya - 10-16-2020
You all know that the fan vote doesn't really factor in to who will be inducted right? This is basically just a sweepstakes sort of game to collect and probably sell the information you provide when you submit your entry. From this article. It is from last year but same thing as this year:

Never will vote for this walking talking P.O.S.
Don't care about the numbers, the guy was the dirtiest player in the NFL, makes Burfict look like a choir boy.
**** him.

I didn't vote for him in this poll. What I was saying is that (objectively) I think he's HOF worthy.
Not for stats or dirty hits, but because he was undeniably a face of those 2 SB runs. He's synonymous with the Steelers. His overall numbers ain't bad, either, although he was guilty of padding his numbers out at the end.
