Just my opinion, but you are crazy if you don't think Woodson belongs in the HOF.

Woodson belongs in the HOF.
But it's hard to argue his case when compared with Lynch or Dawkins.
Dawkins carried the McNabb Eagles defense when they had nothing. He was the dominant safety in the conference for a decade.
Lynch was the face of the Bucs secondary leading a defense that dominated the league for about 7-8 years. That defense would be credited with the Super Bowl victory in 2002 and Lynch was a huge part of it.
Woody was overshadowed by the Triplets and OL. He was one big fish on a defense full of big fish. There was so much talent on those Cowboys defenses that you couldn't decide on who the pro bowlers even were. Thomas Everett, Super Bowl 28 star James Washington, Brock Marion, and even Roy Williams late in Woudy's career all dilute the stats.
All that, plus the fact that he's not even in the ROH, hurts Woodson's case.
The people voting don't remember him like we do. They are looking at stats and reputation. Woody would crush people when he had to, but that wasn't his game.
His consistent greatness might be his worst enemy. He had few signature games that make him stand out over others on his own team.

You can still debate the issue. Which was the point.

Why am I crazy?
Woodson never was a game changing player, he was great at what he was asked to do but seldom was he the signature difference in winning a game.
IMO a HOF had to be a game changer or dominant at his position over a period of time IMO Woodson comes up short.

I said you could debate if you broke it down to SS/FS. I don't think he is the GOAT if you include all safeties but I do think you can debate it if you just take the SS position. I do think he belongs in the HOF and I sure as he'll believe he belongs there before a Lynch.

I don't agree with any of this, either.
