I have a Viking bias when it comes to the NFL Hall of Fame voting. I’m glad to see Gary Zimmerman got voted in, but how does he get in and Randall McDaniel not? They were both pro bowlers, but nobody at any position has played in more pro bowls than McDaniel. Not Jerry Rice, not Joe Montana and certainly not Gary Zimmerman. The only difference between Zimmerman and McDaniel is that Zimmerman has a Super Bowl ring. Played on a Super Bowl winning team does not make Zimmerman better than McDaniel. I’m not saying Zimmerman should not have been voted in, I’m saying they both should have been. On the same topic, what about Chris Carter. Besides Rice, Cartner was probably the best receivers in the 1990s.
