What More Must Taysom Hill Do Before He Retires To Be Considered An NFL Hall Of Fame Player?

Kordell "Slash" Stewart...
Career Passing: 14,746 yards, 77 TD
Career Rushing: 2,874 yards, 38 TD
Career Receiving: 658 yards, 5 TD
The only reason his receiving numbers weren't higher is because he became the Steelers QB1.

If I'm a HOF voter, as amazing as Taysom is, I start thinking about all of the guys who could've done what he does if they had not become good QBs (Michael Vick, Randall Cunningham, Steve Young, Lamar Jackson, Donovan McNabb, Archie Manning), decent enough QBs to be starters (Justin Fields, Vince Young, Kordell Stewart, Ryan Tannehill, Aaron Brooks) or the guys who wouldn't by into moving from QB (Tim Tebow, Scott Frost)... and it would be hard for me to vote Taysom into the HOF.

I've often wondered how good of a career Vince Young mightve had if he had been drafted by a team and HC who actually wanted him and werent looking for any excuse to replace him. He had a great, outstanding start to his career in his first 2-3 seasons and while late Titans owner Bud Adams wanted him, former HC Jeff Fisher and his OC, Norm Chow, didn't and pre-2006 draft had really wanted to take Matt Lienart. Young was put into a situation where he excelled at first but his confidence eventually collapsed due to the realization his HC didn't want him. Ryan Tannehill had more success in Tennessee then Miami because Mike Vrabel used him in a far more effective, efficient way as a good "game-manager" role in their offense then being drafted to be this all-everything franchise QB Dolphins' expected him to be.

Donovan McNabb and Randall Cunningham had great, outstanding careers but when one truly does a hard examination and analyses of what they did, their still a sense their careers were a bit incomplete. Randall Cunningham should've had maybe 15-20,000 career passing yards and more postseason success if he'd had a better, more conscious HC then Buddy Ryan who took more time to help him develop his game.

I know that Donovan McNabb has had to have viewed a few Chiefs games over the past 6-7 sessions with Reid and Mahomes partnership achieving such high, superhuman goals and wonder to himself, "I spent nearly a decade with this same HC on a SB-contending team in Philly and didnt achieve 40% of what he's built in Kansas City, was it because I was a proven choker in the post-season? Or was it partly a mental thing or team chemistry problem?"

McNabb is a very good, "almost great" QB and thats unfortunately how he's going to be viewed by fans and NFL historians.
