Former Patriots LB Andre Tippett, a five-time Pro Bowler, has been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Was he worthy?

Yeah I think so, I think if there is an issue with him is that his career overlapped with LT's a bit...if there had been no Taylor, he would have been a bigger name.

Funny, I even heard someone yesterday say he was the AFC's version of LT. I didn't follow his career that closely... just a five-time Pro Bowler, though?

Yeah but what five seasons...the man had years of 18-1/2 sacks, 16-1/2 sacks, and 12 -1/2 sacks...he posted 100 in 151 games from the linebacker spot...so you are looking at some really high quality seasons, including one AFC Player of the Year...so in Tippett's case, its quality of season, not longevity.
