For reference, this is what I'm referring to.
To the extent the qualification criteria is modified or adjusted, I don't know. And there are invariably going to be cases where there will be 'artistic' merit that will be applied in an undefinable metric that will boost certain candidacies (i.e; Kurt Warner, Eli Manning, Megatron).
The NFL plays a 17-game season now. Could be moving to 18 within 5 years, if not sooner. That simple increase means 10 more games for a 10-year veteran to accumulate production, which isn't insignificant from a statistical measure. While for QB, there is a dividing line in time (1980) where you apply a different calculation...should there be a more recent one?
The game has change dramatically in the last quarter of a century. Looking at the RB position...the average HOF RB has an average score of 107. I'm no voter, but I think Derrick Henry isa HOFer. His score? 54.37. Is there a person alive who thinks that at this juncture of Henry's career Warrick Dunn has been a better player? Darren Sproles?
Should there be better 'seasonal' metrics that reward an overwhelmingly successful season versus others - where instead of accumulating points after 10,000 career rushing yards (with no metric for receiving capability)...points are awarded for production over 1500 YFS in a season, or something of that ilk?
What say you?
