I came up with a list of Raiders who deserve the Hall of Fame and followed up with reasons why. I'm really sick and tired of guys who spent the bulk of their careers with the Raiders getting bypassed for the Hall of Fame. The last three players to be inducted were only with us less than five years each. 

P Ray Guy : Guy was the best Punter ever in the NFL. He is often bypassed every year.  If Punters have no place in the Hall of Fame then they have no place in the NFL. He is a seven-time Pro Bowler and a three-time first team All-Pro.

WR Tim Brown : Brown should've been a first year eligible induction. He was neck-and-neck with Jerry Rice on career numbers, and never once had a Hall of Fame QB throwing to him, while Rice had two different ones. He has 14,934 receiving yards and 100 TD, none came from a Hall of Fame QB, plus all his return stats.

WR Cliff Branch: Branch is a three-time Super Bowl champion. He was a major part of the Raider receiving game all his years. He is a four-time Pro Bowler and a three-time first team All Pro. He has 8,685 yards receiving and 67 TD. 

QB Jim Plunkett: The only two-time Super Bowl champion starting QB that is not in the Hall of Fame. It is most likely because of his early career struggles with New England and 49ers">San Francisco. He came to the Raiders and turned around a struggling offense and led them to a Super Bowl championship from the wild card position, and then would lead them to another three years later. If he just had one championship you could argue that he was just surrounded by talent, but two says that he was a leader and he had game... His previous teams were just that bad. In my book, he's the best QB to never earn a Pro Bowl nod.

HC Tom Flores: Two-time Super Bowl winning coach is not in the Hall of Fame, but Marv Levy, a four-time Super Bowl losing coach is (or at least I think he is)? It seems like Raiders have no place unless they just stand out above the rest. 97-87 is not a bad record as a head coach either.

C Dave Dalby: He's just a one-time Pro Bowler, but he was a major part of the Raiders OL in all three championships. Center was a very under appreciated position back in his days, but he made it happen. The center has to be able to read defenses and make line adjustment calls, and Dalby was good at that as well as clearing the middle.

LG Steve Wisnewski:  Why hasn't this guy gotten any consideration for the Hall of Fame? I never hear his name mentioned with the nominees, and he's an eight-time Pro Bowler and two-time first team All-Pro. He was often called "The Dirtiest Player in the Game." What more can you ask of an OL? The Raiders were mostly mediocre during his time, but he should've been a first year eligible inductee in my book.

CB Lester Hayes: Hayes is tied with Willie Brown for the Raiders all time interception lead. Hayes also has the record for most interceptions in a season by a Raider. He is a five-time Pro Bowler and one-time first team All-Pro. Personally, I think he was better than Willie Brown.

DE Greg Townsend: Townsend has close to the same career numbers as Howie Long. He has 109 career sacks and 15 forced fumbles. He was a two-time Pro Bowler, but never made first team All -Pro.

QB Kenny Stabler: Stabler is the Raiders all time passing leader. He is a clutch QB. He was a four-time Pro Bowler and first team All-Pro in 1974. He also led the Raiders to victory in Superbowl XI in 1976-77. Two of his best targets are in, so why not the man who threw to them?

LB Rod Martin: Martin was first team All-Pro in 1984 and is a two-time Pro Bowler. He was very underrated in the early years of his career, but he always made big plays when necessary. He holds the record for most INT in the Superbowl with three, and he did it in Superbowl XV. He is a two-time Super Bowl champion and was always a big time play-maker on the Raider defense. He's done a lot for a guy that was a 12th-round pick.

OT Henry Lawrence: Two-time Pro Bowler but deserved more. Lawrence anchored the right side of the OL when he became the starter in 1977. He was a member of all three championships, but only started in two. He was one solid run blocker and pass protector.

TE Todd Christensen: Five-time Pro Bowler and two-time first team All-Pro. Christensen has over 5,000 career receiving yards and 41 TD. He didn't have the typical Raider speed, but he had hands that could get to the ball when in counted most. He was often called upon on third down and converted most of the time. 

G Wayne Hawkins:  Hawkins was often clearing the middle with Jim Otto. He is a five-time Pro Bowler, and came from an era when it was all dirty and intense. Hawkins is before my time and never made first team All-Pro, but I'm sure he deserved it.

DB Dave Grayson: Grayson played both corner and safety. He is a six-time Pro Bowler and four-time first team All-Pro. He came from the 60s when you could actually hit and play defense. He has 48 career interceptions with five returned for touchdowns, and 2,798 kickoff return yardage and one return for a TD. We often think about Willie Brown, Lester Hayes, Mike Haynes, Jack Tatum, Vann McElroy, and George Atkinson when we think about great Raider DBs, but this is one of the guys that set the bar for them all.

DB Jack Tatum:  Tatum was a 3 time Pro Bowler and had 37 career INTs.  He was one of the most feared safeties to play the game along with teammate George Atkinson.  This guy was more than just coverage, he would hit to kill and changed the game forever.  I decided to add him after reading some of the comments and most of my Raidernation brothers and sisters agree that Tatum belongs in.
