Quote:Leon Searcy was just on 1010 XL and said Boselli was the best left tackle he has ever seen and it upsets him that Boselli isn't at least further along in the talks to make the hall of fame.  Leon Searcy on his own is a pretty amazing left tackle, and for him to pay a complement like that to Boselli is pretty special.  I get the longevity thing, but there are extenuating circumstances.  Jim Brown didn't play in the NFL long either.

 

Jim Brown played 9 years in a position that is not considered durable.

 

Boselli played 6 years in a position that is considered very durable and the expectations are for OL players to play 10-12 years.  Both Ogden and Pace played the equivalent of 11 years in the NFL.

 

If someone were to offer me Boselli for 6 years or Ogden or Pace for 11 years, I'd take Ogden or Pace for 11 seasons.

 

Kam Chancellor just finished his 6th season.  If he ends his career today, does he go to the HOF?  

 

Does Tyron Smith go in after this season, his 6th year as the most dominant OT?
