Hell, vote in Eddie George.
Obviously, stats don't get you in. Compare Monk to Swann, Stallworth etc. Monk had great stats when he retired.
Kiper is right. The voters are idiots and basically choose on a whim.

I believe C-Mart is 4th on the ALL-TIME rushing list ... how can you say he didn't accomplish anything? That means there are only 3 other people to EVER rush for more yards than him -- that is a big deal, my friend.
However, you're right: the hall doesn't care much for stats ... it's a popularity contest.
