I still believe somebody who sits out like a record number of practices and preseason events for a career because he didn't want to do the work, should be blackballed from the NFL Hall Of Fame.
it was a bad decision to let him in.
Intangibles matter and his lack of participation hurt the team and the development of a cohesive offensive line.
As Dick Vermeil said: "You don't get better by NOT practicing or working less." Sometimes you don't even stay as good as you once were when you stop working. Pace gradually started to decline and he started to have nagging injuries which I get is the nature of the NFL, but typically an unprepared athlete is more inclined to injury.
It is for this reason, I don't think he belonged in the Hall Of Face.
Record number of practices missed to me is an automatic NO vote.
