He had 2 seasons in top 10 of yards, 4 in TDs and is 53rd all-time in Y/R, which was his best attribute.

Fairly pedestrian, actually (and no, I'm not trolling; that is absolutely pedestrian. Maybe ascended pedestrian).

EDIT* I mean, James Lofton played in the same era, on worse teams and he had almost double the amount of yards, in only 4 more seasons and had 6 years of 1,000 yards. Ditto for Steve Largent, though he came through a touch later and played longer as well.

Just looking at the all-time yards list, there are SO MANY guys in the same era and a decade before, who have more yards than Curtis.

And that's just yards; I haven't even looked at TDs or anything.

Issac Curtis should get in before Chad. 

Curtis played in a offense that I can compare to 
Let's say to the Browns offense under Stefanski
In that meaning 5 to 7 guys on offense could be dialed
Up to beat you.

Those offenses in Curtis tenure had a pleathora
Of weapons. Chip Meyers..Bob Trumpy..HoF Charlie
Joiner, Lenvil Elliott, Pete Johnson, Cris Collinsworth
Dan Ross, ML Harris.....

Curtis was never going to be a 1,000 WR in the
Bengals offense. The volume of targets was never
Centered on 2-targets. 
But that doesnt make him any less among
The WRs of his day...
Lynn Swann had lesser numbers than Curtis.
He is,only a HoF er cause he has rings
You didnt see WRs getting 1,000 yds on a regular
Basis until eh...lets see...the early 80s...
Morgan,Walker, Loften...but offense were opening
Up and it added 2-games in 78.

Curtis was just as talented as Chad. He played
In a era where DBs abused and mauled WRs.
And the safeties in Curtis time would decapitate you
Thom Darden, Jack Tatum, Charlie Waters, 
Donnie Shell, Dick Anderson, Gary Fencik

Nobody had.the combination of speed
And hands that Curtis had.
And Ike also played 3-years with garbage
At QB.
