Pat Bowlen is a class act and he always has been.  Since he and John Elway came on board, Denver has been a place to which good players wanted come.  He was respected and admired by his peers and competitors and ought to be in the HOF.  

Although he's not doing well, another year or two wait would only mean he'd not have the chance to enjoy his rightful spot.  That, alone, ought to make it happen now...
