Not having punters in the hall of fame is ridiculous. Same for kickers. There is just one pure kicker. You can't win without either one.

I imagine both Morten Anderson and Adam Vinatieri will eventually be in the HOF

Well....I will say that you have touched on the only real legitimate argument for Ray Guy.

He is incredibly famous. Easily the most famous punter.

But I disagree with you that it's ridiculous not to have punters in the HOF. I am perfectly fine with it.

Like Aftermath said, you have to have a long snapper too, but we won't be seeing anybody put in the HOF for long snapping.
