Re: Mike Evans will probably never be first-team All-Pro

^John, thank you for sharing this info. It's helpful to at least have an idea of quantification beyond eras. It is also difficult to calculate in the change in rules on defense across eras, which I am guessing are not included above? Looks like Evans falls into the Top 25 when adjusting his numbers....

Re: Future Hall of Very Good players

^For the QBs I think part of their chances rests on how the committee views the inflated passing numbers in today's era. If they disregard them, it hurts all three. I don't know where to put Matt Ryan. IMO he certainly does not belong in the PFHOF. He was on the losing end of the two biggest blown l...

Interesting. Don't see that happening. But people do like "their guys".

Re: 2024 Hall of Very Good Nominations

"Regarding those already in a Hall of Fame: We'll also have to discuss whether Flutie or anyone else who is in the Canadian HOF is eligible (in Flutie's case, when his 25 years is up). I would think such a person is not eligible for the HOVG. As the (a) Hall of Fame is greater than the Hall of...

I would pick him over Antwine, who is on the ballot.

Brooks had great sack totals. But are people burned out on Rams defensive line?
Antwine was inducted to the HOVG last year in 2023.
