Seriously Ness?

Simms was part of two championship teams. Has a SB MVP award and a winning starting record despite having FEW weapons to work with. Other than Bavaro, Meggett, Hampton and Morris for a short time, what other offensive players were a threat for the Giants? He also took a beating before Parcells got the offensive line to improve.

Bert Jones was recently inducted to the HoVG. I don't see how Phil Simms and Joe Theismann do not belong. They both should be in as well. Both won at least one Super Bowl, were MVPs like Jones... and Simms and Theismann won far more football games than Jones did.

Jones - 47 career victories
Simms - 95 career victories
Theismann - 77 career victories

@sluggermatt/@Brian/All, What about Tommy Thompson? I've never nominated a QB - maybe he should get a look?

Absolutely! ... Thompson won back-to-back championships after three straight divisional titles. He played with a defective eye! Van Buren or not, how many T-Formation QBs help take their teams to three straight championship games?

I hope Christensen gets his chance this year. Had an endorsement for the HOF from Turney on TOFTWO ...

He's been nominated a few times.
