Doubt it.

I'd say he's about as likely to go in as a 'fin as he would go in as an eagle. Cunningham on the other hand would be interesting to see who he goes in as.

I would expect him to go in as an eagle if/when he makes it.

Think you'll be right there, but man how they hated on him in philly. Tough city to play in. I highly doubt he'll make it first ballot and maybe not at all.

Why do you say that?
He did 3 years with the Eagles, 1 with the Fins, and 12 with the Vikings.
I think most people remember him as a Viking/the guy Buddy Ryan let go.
I'm not saying you're wrong I just thought it was up to the player and that he would think of himself as Viking first.

*EDIT*Never mind, apparently attention to detail isn't my strong suit today.
Maybe (McNabb) will go in as a Viking someday too LOL.

Cunningham is an Eagle; that is a given.

Read the entire post.
He is talking about Cunningham.

He was replying to this:

Good list there -Z-.
It is a shame McDaniel did not make it last year.
One of the best G's to ever play.

It is a shame that Monk has never made it either.
There was a huge discussion about that last year.

Monk vs. Reed and Tags vs. Young were my tough calls.
Monk had a better supporting cast in WRs, while Reed had better at QB, long-term.
Taglibue will make it, but if I'm putting in a non-player, I gotta go with the length of the commitment and success with Young.

I think Tags will get in this year.
He was a good commish and it looks good on the NFL.

After this year we will have 8 primary Hall of Famers (9 if McDaniel gets in).
