I've watched football for 45 years and I can honestly and objectively say luke is one of the best linebacker i have seen.   Travesty hw didn't get in.  

same here, he's top 10 and possibly top 5 all time, and that's saying something.

and LOL at all that time debating Eli, some fanboys on that committee

auto bump into the finals next year

Yeah, so he will get in just not the "first ballot." 

Also interesting that this revamped process was started by HOF members that thought the quality of HOF inductees was dropping.

Luke was the best player at his position every year he played outside of his rookie year and was a top 3 defensive player about every year. Half of Mannings career he wasn't even a top 15 qb. Luke not being a first ballot is an absolute fuging dog poo shame

with the 80% rule less will get in next year too I would guess.  As you said, Brees and Fitz will be givens....then too much vote splitting with the rest given how many there are. 

Not really, as the new rule is that you need 80% of the votes from that Final 7 vote to get in OR be in the Top 3 of voting.

So there will always be at minimum 3 players from the modern era voting put in every year, even if none get to the 80% mark.

But I do think we'll see very few 4 and 5 man classes in the future and it will be mostly 3 man classes, as all it takes is for 20 voters to be split down the middle on the other 4 players in a class to end up tanking all of their chances as you can only lose 10 votes.  So 10 vote for the 3 sure fire guys and then 2 of the other 4, another 10 vote the same 3 and then the other 2, all 4 of the others are now kept out.

It's sooooooooooo dumb, it doesn't mean they're not worthy of getting in, and every year they put in less than 5 just adds to the backlog and will end up being the reason worthy players never get in during their 20 year window of eligibility.

      The Draft Network's Justin Mello's Panthers 7-round mock draft special

      The Draft Network's Justin Mello's Panthers 7-round mock draft special

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Round 1 (No. 8 overall): Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona The Panthers have Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker as young talents at receiver, but neither appears to have true WR1 upside. Adam Thielen should finally be on his last legs in 2025. Drafting Tetairoa McMillan would give Young a legit dominant boundary talent. McMillan pairs elite size and ball skills with short-area quickness. Round 2 (No. 57 overall): Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina Carolina's defense recorded a third-worst 32 sacks throughout 2024. Signing Jadaveon Clowney didn't work out. The Panthers desperately need pass-rushing talent on the edges. Kyle Kennard is explosive and pairs first-step quickness with a red-hot motor. Round 3 (No. 74 overall): Mello Dotson, CB, Kansas Ejiro Evero’s defense allowed nearly 225 passing yards per game. The cornerback room currently possesses more quantity than quality. Morgan needs to add some instant contributors. Kansas' Mello Dotson projects as such. Dotson was outstanding at the East-West Shrine Bowl, showcasing a competitive streak at the catch point. Round 4 (No. 110 overall): Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland An interior defensive lineman capable of playing next to Derrick Brown is required. The Panthers grossly missed Brown throughout 2024. Jordan Phillips would be a nice fit inside. Phillips is fresh off a dominant week in Frisco. Round 4 (No. 113 overall): Caleb Ransaw, SAF, Tulane Safety Xavier Woods played 100% of Carolina's defensive snaps this past campaign. He's scheduled to reach free agency, and a replacement may be needed. Tulane's Caleb Ransaw had an outstanding week at the Senior Bowl. Ransaw is versatile enough to play in coverage near the line of scrimmage, or in two-high shells. Round 5 (No. 141 overall): Brashard Smith, RB, SMU Jonathon Brooks suffered another ACL injury shortly after recovering from his first one. The Panthers unfortunately can't rely on him in 2025. Instead, they should take advantage of a deep running back class to add another talented player at the position. Brashard Smith was productive in Mobile. A former wideout, Smith is a dual-threat talent with incredibly high upside. Round 5 (No. 147 overall): Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon The Panthers should also take advantage of a deep tight end class to add more talent to the position. Ja’Tavion Sanders is a quality piece, but Tommy Tremble is slated for free agency. Terrance Ferguson possesses some pass-catching upside, and he's also alignment-versatile enough to play in-line. Round 5 (No. 164 overall): Carson Vinson, OT, Alabama A&M The offensive line has finally improved, but several starters or role players are on expiring contracts, including Cade Mays, Brady Christensen, and Austin Corbett. Some of these will probably be retained, but Morgan will draft at least one offensive lineman. Carson Vinson has some tackle-guard flexibility. Vinson is a developmental talent with future starter potential. Round 7 (No. 229 overall): Warren Brinson, NT, Georgia Evero employs the occasional nose tackle in 3-4 fronts. Shy Tuttle primarily played that role this past season. Adding depth and competition through Warren Brinson would be wise. Brinson possesses length, power, and functional athleticism.
