Which Steelers from that era do you think deserved to get in?

Definitely should be in:
- Joe Greene
- Jack Lambert
- Franco Harris (don't think he was that great but did play a long time - has the yards to be a lock)
- Terry Bradshaw

Questionable
- Mike Webster - great player and very productive career. Lots of other offensive lineman (90's Cowboys Offensive line) have had such careers as well but are not in the hall of fame.

Shouldn't be in:
- Lynn Swann
- Jack Ham
- Mel Blount

There is has even been a solid push for Rocky Blier and Stallworth.

The ones above that shouldn't be in are all very good players, but didn't really rise to hall of fame standards. If the same standards were applied to the 80s 49ers and 90s Cowboys players like Nate Newton and Bill Ring would be in the hall of fame.

I've been surpsied how many folks have attacked Bradshaw because he didn't put up huge career passing numbers. As far as I'm concerned he made the big throws when he had to in the biggest games.
