CMV: The NFL Hall of Fame Should Be the Hall of Very Good Stats

The NFL Hall of Fame should induct members based on stats and achievements, and players that shouldn’t have been inducted in the past shouldn’t validate inducting players with the same statistics. I’ve been thinking about this debate since Eli Manning got benched for Daniel Jones, and people started saying Eli Manning should be inducted since he beat the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl. I saw Benjamin Allbright, a popular NFL journalist, claim that the Hall of Fame isn’t just the Hall of Very Good Stats, subsequently citing Joe Namath. However, isn’t that basically what the Hall has become? The NFL’s last class of Hall of Famers included 6 players, each of which had significant career statistics. The class combined for 49 Pro Bowl appearances and 36 All-Pro recognitions, and Johnny Robinson added significant contributions from his AFL days. Given that Eli Manning never achieved All-Pro status and had mediocre career numbers at best (60% completion rate, .500 win percentage), I believe it reaffirms that the Hall of Fame should only induct players with great career stats.

The Hall of Fame represents the history of football, and the history can partially be told through numbers, but we humans prefer stories. And images. That's where the "fame" comes in. It means notoriety. 

Joe Namath is one of the most important figures in the story of the NFL because we attribute the merger of the AFL and NFL to his "guarantee" and subsequent success in Super Bowl III. You can't tell the story of the league without that moment. You can't make a historical highlight reel without the footage of him waving his finger in the air as he left the field. Those are the lasting marks that were left. That's where the "fame" comes from.

"Fame" can come from years of consistency (Jackie Slater) or brief, but integral contributions to the story (Gale Sayers).

Fifty(one) years later, those singular moments don't mean as much to us because we've added so many new details to the story. They start to blend in, unless they're unmistakably crucial to the narrative. The Giants two Super Bowl wins over the Patriots were extremely valuable pieces of the narrative. They showed that David can still beat Goliath (especially when they prevented the perfect season). And the proper response to that as a Hall of Fame could be to induct Michael Strahan and leave it at that, but we're humans. We need MOAR TO THE STORY. And we like quarterback stories best of all. So Eli will probably make it in.

Most people lean that way. They aren't excited about Frank Gore passing 15,000 yards because it hasn't been the most exciting story. But when it comes to voting, and telling the story of the league, that's where we'll always gravitate. Just like in life, if it doesn't make a good story, people aren't going to pay attention.
