The main problem I have with the HOF is their moving goalposts. For most players, there seems to be a yardage number you have to clear. It seems to be around 14,000 yards for both WR and RB.
That said, they don't hold every player to that standard...and frankly, I think that's a terrible metric to judge greatness. Frank Gore has shattered that number due to his amazing longevity, but does his career really scream HOF?
Is Gore better than Dillon in their primes?
Lynn Swan's numbers are embarrassing for a HOFer. I agree that he was better than his number indicate, but no way he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. With him it was all about being a very popular player on a dynasty team and making a couple of incredible catches in Super Bowl games.
Only one season with more than 50 receptions. Never higher than 7th in receptions and only two seasons in the top 10.
Career best 880 receiving yards in a season. Never higher than 4th. Only 3 seasons in top 10.
Career 336 receptions for 5462 yards.
