They're in the 49er fans HOF.

Hall of fame should be for players who we're considered one of the best at their position for a period of time Imo. Not just because someone played for a long time.. That's just my view on it though.

Quality over quantity. 5 years or more should be good though.

Terrell Davis got in on a shortened career. I don't see why Willis can't also

IF we would have won in 2012, no doubt he would have been first ballot

Super bowl comes down to the overall team effort and good coaching though, rather than an Individual player.

I admit my idea of a HOF player is probably a little stricter than most. When I visited the HOF I saw a lot of players in there that I wouldn't have considered HOF players. Their stats might have been good enough but I just didn't consider them HOF material.
I think there are actually too many players in the HOF. If I have to look up a players stats and compare him to other players then he isn't a HOF. The key word here is Fame. If the name jumps out right away when you are asked who were the greatest QBs, RBs, LBs or whatever then they're HOF. Nobody is going to argue about Jim Brown or Barry Sanders. Same for Joe Montana andJohn Unitas. They were undeniably the best in their generation if you asked anyone that saw them play.
I know most people don't agree with the way I look at it, but I think the HOF should be reserved for the all time greats. Not just players who were good. I might include Willis because he was really good and dominant for about 5 years. Taylor was good and a valuable part of the team but he wasn't dominant. Part of that was playing with Rice who stole the show. Taylor had some great moments but I don't know if he had enough.

I think this forum shows why the HOF selections are often controversial. Everyone has their own opinions, biases and reasons for putting someone in the HOF. I think the players understand that and don't get all twisted in a knot if they aren't selected. They know what they did on the field and so do the players that the faced. The HOF may be a nice honor but it doesn't define their career.
