There are allot more 9ers to be considered for the HoF than just Craig. Craig deserves to be there. Rathman, Brent Jones, Merton Hanks not to mention the countless other rank and file that made the team so special during their era(s) of dominance.

One other argument that is clearly overlooked about both Craig and Rathman were that they both changed the way their position was played. Guys like Tiki Barber, Marshall Faulk and Brian Westbrook owe Craig and Rathman for giving them the ability to touch the ball more in both facets of Offense. Walsh is already in and Seifert belongs as well. The only two Super Bowl coach I can think of that is NOT in. That's a travesty in of itself.

Hell maybe someday, the team will come cart him off the stage for his moment in the sun which imho is coming along much too far after his retirement.
