Jerry Jones and Paul Tagliabue named PFHOF Contributor Finalists

Again, can we state how much we love the way the Pro Football Hall of Fame operates?

The day after former Seattle Seahawk, Kenny Easley was announced as the 2017 Senior Nominee, Jerry Jones and Paul Tagliabue have been pegged as the Contributor Nominees for the 2017 Hall of Fame Class.

Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys has advanced as Contributor Selection. Jones purchased the Cowboys in 1989 and controversially overhauled the front office, sacking Tom Landry, which was a controversial move at the time. Dallas would however win three Super Bowls in four years in the 1990’s and regardless of any negative you can say about Jones, it can’t be argued that he didn’t and (still doesn’t) want Dallas to win every game.

Paul Tagliabue was the former Commissioner of the NFL from 1989 to 2006. Nobody can argue that this was not a major boom period for the League and it is difficult for us to imagine that he won’t get inducted immediately.

Both Tagliabue and Jones are automatic Finalists and will be joined by 15 Player Finalists.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate both Jerry Jones and Paul Tagliabue for becoming 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame Finalists.

5. Raymond Berry

Raymond Berry was all about the details with every aspect of his game. An expert route runner, Berry rarely fumbled or dropped passes and was essential to the two consecutive Baltimore Colts Championships in the late 1950s. Most notably, he caught 12 passes in the 1958 Championship Game for 178 Yards and a Touchdown.

3. Gino Marchetti

Easily the best defensive player in Colts history, Gino Marchetti might also have been the best pass rusher in the NFL for a decade. Marchetti was also a great run defender and was regarded by many offensive players as the toughest player they ever faced. The Pro Football Hall of Famer would be named a First Team All-Pro seven times and many have stated that the Colts would never have won the 1958 and 1959 NFL Championship without him.

The Colts retired his number 89.

2. Johnny Unitas

Had it not been for the greatness of Manning, Johnny Unitas would easily be at the top of this list and certainly would be for over half of the NFL teams in existence.
