Anderson should make it, Carney has a shot, Elam does too.
One kicker I would like to mention just for recognition is John Kasay. This guy came back from a broken leg and still booms them from fifty yards. He has over 1400 points in his career and still is a great guy with the fans. As for Adam great clutch performer and will get strong consideration if he reaches 1600 points. Oh and Jan is not the only kicker in the Hall of Fame. There are others that played other positions such as Blanda and Groza.

I think Vinatieri is the only one that is going to go. It is not such a sure thing for a kicker. Isn't Jan Stenurud still the only one there not counting Blanda, Groza and Hornung? I don't think the voters of the hall of fame are likely to consider kickers on the same level as a positional player. Right or wrong, a kicker even like Morten Andersen is not going to get more support than a running back or linebacker.

Morten Anderson
Jason Elam
Gary Anderson?? the #2 points leader and was #1 before immortal Anderson came back from time off.
And as stated before look to Adam Vinatieri, with all the rings he has he will be a shoo in.
Also these might just be in:
Ryan Longwell, Mike Vanderjagt (most accurate kicker in history, bad year in Jerry's team I mean bad D), and Sebastian Janikowski (still has an iron leg), Nugent it is still to early to tell but I think he might be able to get up there with a good career.

I would have to say that between our choices that it would have to be both Morton Anderson and Jason Elam. There's no doubt that Anderson will be a shoe-in! Look at his accomplishments, Most career FG over 50 yd, most career pts, one of the 3rd longest FG record holder with 59yds.
Jason Elam on the other hand, although his career points aren't much for show, he is tied with Dempsey for the longest FG at 63 yds, he's 2nd to Anderson in FG made over 50 yds! Finally he's only 30 so he hopefully has a lot more in him!
Thanks NFL.com for the info!

Morten Anderson, Jason Elam...
Morten is a slam dunk, for longevity and points.
Elam shares the longest field goal with Blanda, and helped win two rings. He's also among the most accurate in history.
The others are all good, but toiling on bad teams (minus Stover), will cloak them in anonymity.
Vinatieri is missing, and he's got what 4 rings...

Vinitereri is the only active kicker that will be in the HOF.
He has won Super Bowls and he has the accuracy. No one you listed will be in. The only K in there now is Jan Stenerud. And he led the world in points cuz he kicked for a hundred years.
