You're right. Overall team success is still needed but I think it's weighed to heavily. The fact that Terry Bradshaw and his 70.9 career passer rating (that's right, 70.9) is in the HoF while Ken Anderson and his 81.9 career passer rating is not in the HoF is complete bullshite. Bradshaw said that he wasn't even the best QB in his division because Ken Anderson was. I get that 4 Super Bowl wins is a huge accomplishment, but they won those with their defense. Don't even get me started on Joe Namath.

Also, Lynn Swann in the HoF?? His numbers aren't good at all. Isaac Curtis' numbers are better than his and I don't think he deserves to be in either. John Stallworth's numbers aren't very good either but, I agree as you said, team success is still taken into account.
