I suppose longevity in the NFL should be one criteria for the HOF, but, as in Terrell's case, it has to recognize the dedication, effort, and contribution a player made to his team in a significant football game, mainly the SB. I'm convinced that w/o TD, the Broncos would not have won their two SBs. 

It may be good for the NFL HOF to consider candidates on the same basis that Medal of Honor winners are considered: "distinguished himself conspicuously ... above and beyond the call of duty." No longevity requirement is there. I know this is a bit hyperbolic. All I'm suggesting is that TD is right: longevity in the NFL should be reduced as a major criterion of entrance into the NFL HOF. 

I'm not suggesting to cheapen requirements for entry into the Hall. But, TD's contribution to the Broncos' winning two back to back SBs is no insignificant achievement. He rightfully belongs in the HOF.
