First of all, it's clear that Sanders deserves to be in the Hall, and I don't really think you would suggest otherwise, but, judging Sanders by the criteria you laid out for Martin would keep Sanders out of the Hall, too. Sanders never even got to the Super Bowl. The Lions won their division
maybe once (I don't recall, but it can't be more than once). He was always in the top 5 rushing, so, I will grant you, that is a difference.

I agree, because they should both be first ballot HoF'ers.
But you
have to concede that Sanders pretty much
only played on bad teams - the Lions always sucked (save a lone 12-4 season). So, why should Martin have a different standard?
