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

I'm not sure I agree with the logic of not voting for someone because other people COULD HAVE done what they do even if they didn't. There are a lot of QBs from the 80s that COULD HAVE put up Brady/Brees number if they had played in this era, but they didn't, so should we eliminate Brady/Brees from consideration? I could've been better than Ricky Jackson if my mom wasn't afraid I was gonna get hurt and made stop playing after Jr High, so does that mean you didn't vote for City Champ? Of course I'm exaggerating to make a point. Sure, those guys could have done it but you make it to the HOF for what you DID. TH7 has done it.

But in order for Taysom to get into the HOF a lot of it has to be based on the speculation that it is because "he can do what no one else can do" because he doesn't have the stats to justify getting in on sheer numbers.

If I'm a HOF voter, and the premise is "he can do what no one else can do"... I'm going to start to wonder if anyone could have done what Taysom has done. When I start to think about it, it seems like there are a lot of big athletic QB who could have been similar "joker/slash" players had they either not become a starting QB or been in a situation to utilize their unique combination of skills.

I'm not knocking Taysom. I love the guy.
