That’s just because the team didn’t use him right or enoughI noticed last year while on my fantasy team, it seemed like that's how his year went. 200+ yards with 4 TD's or 35 yards and no td's.

Was he?No. Not yet. Calvin Johnson was unguardable and the best WR in the game every year he played on a team that couldn’t run the ball!
Unfortunately, off the field issues are not allowed to be used when choosing HOF in the NFL.His talent is unquestionable but his character issues should keep him out of the HOF IMO.
But don't you think voters still vote their conscious (allowed or not)?Unfortunately, off the field issues are not allowed to be used when choosing HOF in the NFL.
Had he had on field issues (see A. Brown) that would be a different story.
Not based on who is inBut don't you think voters still vote their conscious (allowed or not)?
I guess this is where my thoughts are. I feel like at times he goes away and can’t find the game, or if there were DB’s that could stay close and be physicalI noticed last year while on my fantasy team, it seemed like that's how his year went. 200+ yards with 4 TD's or 35 yards and no td's.
I feel like sometimes when thinking about past players, we forget those blips too. Here is a season long game log of Megatron in a fantastic year where he had nearly 1500 yards receiving. He also had more than a quarter of the season where he had less than 52 yards per game.I guess this is where my thoughts are.

I went back and looked and he wasn't quite as up and down as I thought. He does face a lot of double coverage too. He definitely showed up in the playoffs.I guess this is where my thoughts are.

It's not baseball (see Barry Bonds) and it's not the Hall of Really Nice Guys. I don't see voters making a statement in Football like they did with Bonds in the MLB.But don't you think voters still vote their conscious (allowed or not)?
I did go back and look after I posted my thoughts as I was curious and noticed the same.I feel like sometimes when thinking about past players, we forget those blips too.

Hahah that is a good point.I did go back and look after I posted my thoughts as I was curious and noticed the same.
But then it begs the question, at least when using Megatron as a comp, is how much do you put on the Detroit Lions?
Regardless of how those two compare, if Hill does what he's done this year with a new team he would get my vote
Was he?
He only had 2 seasons his entire career with more than 90 catches.
He was great no doubt about it, and rewarded with 3 All Pro awards. If he is the measuring stick, Hill has to be darn close.
This is one reason I wouldn’t vote for him. My other thought is that if you have to pick one guy in their prime to put on your team, who would you take from a talent perspective? I go with Megatron all day every day and twice on Sunday’s. He was also playing in a more run heavy NFL where AP and CJ28 where pushing nearly 2K yards a season.His talent is unquestionable but his character issues should keep him out of the HOF IMO.
I'm actually surprised he's still in the NFL. I guess the personal conduct policy doesn't apply to guys that run 4.2s.

Absolutely true. Anytime you’re in the same space as the two best WRs of all time, you’re doing something rightBut the NFL HOF is not allowed to deal with off the field issues.
I also dont disagree that the offense had a little something to do with it, although that could be said for nearly every guy in the HOF. I dont think anybody expects him to have the same numbers with this offense and in this division, but I do think its getting dismissed a bit prematurely. His numbers for where he is are about as high as anybody in the history of the position with the exception of Jerry Rice and Randy Moss. Pretty good company.
Megatron played 9 seasons to Hill's 6. Also has 250 more catches and 5000 more yards... Hill's playoffs & Super Bowl ring are big plusses though...I say yes.
3 x All Pro
6 x Pro Bowler
I believe Calvin Johnson got in with similar.
who is the other comp here?
