    If Ben gets in next year at least he will have beaten Brady at something

    According to google.... Ben is not eligible until 2027. Brady... 2028. I thought it was five years... and he would eligible next year since retiring after '21..... but it's 5 seasons.

    5 All pro and 9 Probowls. He played for 11 years. This means he was one of the best of the best for a decade.

    Dermonti Dawson is 6x 1st team all pro with 7 pro bowls.

    I think he warrants the HOF.

    I could write a book on the bad life decisions I made in the 1990's when I was in my twenties.

    Agree, per this site everyone ranked above him except Kelce is already in, only one guy ranked below. He is ranked similar to Jeff Saturday. If I understand it right, per the site, he is a weak candidate in the modern-era despite being in the top 10. Only 2 first team all pro hurts

    Dermontti Dawson 123.50 (6x 1st team All Pro)
    Jim Otto 116.43 (10 x 1st team All Pro)
    Mike Webster 111.20 (5x 1st team All Pro)
    Dwight Stephenson 107.58 (4x 1st team All Pro)
    Jason Kelce 103.53 (6x 1st team All Pro)
    Average HOF C 103 (5x 1st team All Pro)

    I don't put much weight on pro bowls. Guys get picked and have no interest in the game. Too much on popularity. All pro is different. Far fewer slots and voters that actually have some knowledge.

    He definitely not over rated he wasn’t a good center, he was a great center and that exactly what he was drafted to do. But HOF? That goes from great to legendary or it should be that way. He’ll have a hard time getting in there if ever.

    Pounce was really good, but I don't know if I could put him on the level of Dirt Dawson.

    Pounce always struggled agains the top tier DT's in the league.

    If Pouncey gets voted in, he should pass up his place to LC Greenwood.
