Am I crazy for thinking Vince should be in the hall?

Wilfork is my favorite Patriot of all time (yes, even above Brady).
I need to know if my love for the big fella is skewing my thoughts on his HoF potential
Vince is deserving. Rodney Harrison is too.
Vinatieri is lock for me.
On paper, yes. He was the best and most influential NT during his era.
But when considering the HoF voting method, how do you vote for him over any five of Keuchly, Smith, Thomas, Allen, Gates, Yanda, Holt, Wayne, or Rodney?
You are not crazy. Wilfork for HOF!
I wish he would get in but he’s probably hall of very good unfortunately. Pro football reference has his HOF monitor at 60.85, and average for a HOF DT is 102.36. Pretty unlikely based on that.
I think there’s a lot of politics around who gets in right away. Not saying I agree with that but going with that standard I say Rodney now, Vinatieri next year, and Vince in a year or two.
He absolutely should be in. Dominant DT who could have been an individual superstar if he played in a different system, but was always a team player first.
Of course he deserves to be in the HOF. Dude is literally the blueprint for a 3-4 Nose Tackle
Vinatieri, Gates, Reggie, Kuechly
I think that’s my “pick 4” here. What a difficult choice it will be this year
I think he should, but like others have mentioned, there are a lot of players that should be in before him. Holt and Smith are still waiting.
He should be, but the chance of a nose tackle getting in are slim to none
I have no clue. I Don’t know how to judge defensive tackles. I mean of course my initial impulses to say yes but it’s a harder position to judge than others.
This list makes me feel old. What a bunch of ballers this year….damn
Vince is worth making it. Belichick even said he’s the best NT ever and Belichick knows more about football than me so I’m in.
Perhaps one day, but it will be a wait. Those other nominees are insane.
Big Man Vince pushed the lineman back who Sanchez bumps into for the Butt Fumble.
He’s an integral part of one of the greatest plays in the history of the game. He deserves to be in the Hall.
Given Rodney Harrisons path. Yes. But actually no
Eli Manning deserves nothing.
His contribution to the butt fumble is enough.
He should be, his only problem is he played a position that didn’t get stats. Nose tackle is a thankless job where you did a good job by making 2 people block you and if you’re lucky you’ll end the game with 3 tackles with one for a loss and every 5th game you get a 1/2 sack. But god damn he was amazing at exactly that job
Vinatieri is the lock for the Pats.
If earl thomas somehow gets in before Rodney, I’ll lose all hope.
It’s wild when you think about the gap of chances to get in for Wilfork and Gilmore.
I don’t consider them wildly different tiers of players, but Gilmore’s chances are much higher. Kinda sad.
If Kevin Williams isn’t in, Vince is not getting in
I’ve always thought it was a pity that there wasn’t a stat for “pockets collapsed”, that Vince would’ve absolutely dominated – maybe award it like sacks and tackles where you can also award half credit lol
He was a dominant player on the greatest dynasty in NFL history, the only player besides Brady who bridges both halves of the dynasty, he was arguably the best player at his position throughout his career, like, I genuinely don’t understand how Vince Wilfork is not a HOFer. It should be a no brainer.
If the criteria for the NFL HOF doesn’t think Vince fucking Wilfork should be a HOFer then they need to change their criteria.
The Hall voters don’t respect what defensive tackles do so he won’t get the votes.
