He's definitely not wrong but there are a ton of dudes from other eras(including Deion's)that absolutely don't belong in either. The biggest thing they could do is get rid of the "6 minimum" thing. That's just retarded.

Making it harder to get in just ends up with you having people being left out that should be in over people that already are in. It's not really something you can do unless you want to prune people and that will never happen. Does anyone really think people are too dumb to know that there's a difference between Michael Jordan and Joe Dumars?

I am desperately trying to find a light side to how I feel about pro football typical Cleveland fucking a SANE player went all William of Wallace on a QB *as the game ended in our favor* !1!! Needed to let that out.

It's the hall of FAME though. People tend to think it's the hall of greatness, or hall of achievement. It's a popularity contest.
Some guys get in strictly due to their no nonsense game on the field and jus produce consistently. Others get in because of famous moments, others have a tremendous few years and get in.
Shit like Art Monk let's u see all u need to know though as far as raw merit.

There are 326 players in the hall of fame and 23,204 players to have ever played. That's an induction rate of 1.4%. It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of 100 Greatest Players Ever. I think I'm ok with 1.4% of players getting in. From there, everybody knows that Jerry Rice >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lynn Swann.

Yeah this is exactly why the Basketball HoF is a joke. There's 178 out of 4k or so all time players. Closer to 5 percent. It's retarded. The NFL HoF is mostly alltime greats but there's a handful of dudes there for other reasons. You will sometimes get the Eli's and Namaths for narrative reasons or the dudes that had a handful of really crazy seasons like Sayers or Terrell Davis.

I don't entirely agree, especially with the Monk example. Yes, it was totally fucked it took so long for him, but it has been noted that the WR position in general has had some issues getting into the Hall. In general, I think the Hall does a good job bringing in deserving guys.

Jason Witten acknowledges he may play elsewhere
Jason Witten's willing to play somewhere other than Dallas.

Pretty surprised he would be willing to play somewhere else, which is probable going to be his only option
