What More Must Taysom Hill Do Before He Retires To Be Considered An NFL Hall Of Fame Player?
Nobody outside on New Orleans would even think about him being in the hof. That’s all you need to know. Someone who is potentially up for the hof is know as a star throughout the league. Hill is not. Kamara has a way better chance and I don’t think he’ll get in.
I agree with the premise pointed out in your second paragraph for the most part, but their quite a few notable exceptions like for a long time, Floyd Little with the Denver Broncos (he had to wait over 35 years past his retirement to be inducted and back in the early-mid 70's Denver was a small, regional, geographically isolated area that was barely shown in MNF games or other nationwide games.) Then you have Isaac Curtis, another HOF-CALIBER WR, IMHO who if he'd played in a larger market than again another isolated, ignored team like the 70's-early 80's Bengals might be in Canton right now. Then there's Fred Taylor, another 10,000+ career-yard rusher who had what is it: just one Pro Bowl in a 12-13 year career? Because again he played most of his career in an NFL backwater like Jacksonville, his achievements, career durability and greatness got essentially over-looked. In terms of HOF consideration, sometimes geography and market access and availability do matter for players who have long, outstanding careers with high statistical achievements but aren't seen by _______ less millions of people than if they'd had played a majority of their careers in New York, L.A., Dallas, Chicago or Washington D.C.
Then there's also La'roi Glover who had close to 90 career sacks as an DT and also Pat Swilling who had over 110 career sacks in his illustrious NFL career here in New Orleans, Detroit and Oakland. Hasn't been even whispered at having a chance.
Will Cameron Jordan also be similarly ignored even though he's the Saints all-time franchise career leader in sacks as a Saint (and thats a key difference because Rickey Jackson is second on that list).
