I've seen interviews with Phil talking about how much he hated the mid-80's Bears defenses. Probably as much for the 1987 opening game when the Bears killed the champs as for the '85 game.

Along with the 4 Pro Bowl's, and as Roy mentioned, his dominant play and interceptions, I definitely think he's worthy. Hopefully he'll get in some day.

That hurts. Not a media friendly personality. The only interview I can remember was right after Super Bowl XX. The best bullet on his resume is the Super Bowl MVP. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/?p=5523 Dent only made 4 Pro Bowls. That hurts. Not a media friendly personality.

But given how dominating that defence was in the mid 80s, it's hard to fathom how only Hampton and Singletary have made it. And there's only Walter on offence. One reason that may hold us back is that we have more Hall of Famers than any other team. But I'd say there's a good case not only for Dent, but Otis Wilson, Steve McMichael, Gary Fencik and Jay Hilgenberg as well. It’s hard to get into the Hall of Fame and that’s how it should be.
