Found November 15, 2008 on Bleed Eagles Green:
Dawkins or Lynch to the HOF?
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
PLAYERS: Brian Dawkins,  John Lynch
Unable to catch on with a team this season, S John Lynch is set to announce his retirement. As an Eagles fan I could care less, but the news did get me to thinking...as a safety getting into the HOF is rare, does Lynch have a better shot then Dawkins? It's not as close as one would think. The numbers and the accolades are close, but (even with my obvious bias) it appears that Dawkins would have the edge... - Lynch: 15 seasons, average of 3.3 tackles per game, 16 FF, 13 sacks, and 26...

    Both, but Lynch goes first because he has what Dawks wants more than anything: a Championship. And CAN YOU BELIVE DAWKINS WAS NEVER DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR? what is that about? and i like Ed Reed but Dawks is the best to ever play if he ball hawked like reed there would be no stopping him

    Why not both? They wouldn't necessarily make it in the first year, but I don't see why both wouldn't be in the hall.

    Both should go in my opinion...... but as of now Lynch gets the edge with the fact of having won the big one
