I think that we will see a lot more WR's and less RB's over the next ten years, so it will even out. Besides Peterson, is there another RB on an active roster that is a definitive HOF player? Maybe Bell?

The NFL HoF is BIG on playoff success.

IMO with the crazy WR stats compared to eras before, they're going to use playoff stats to differentiate between two similar guys.

Players waiting or will be waiting:
TO
Issace Bruce
Moss
Hines Ward(very deserving)
Tory Holt
Reggie Wayne
Andre Johnson
Calvin Johnson
Boldin
Fitzgerald
Steve Smith
Brandon Marshall

More down road
Jordy Nelson
Antonio
Julio
AJ Green
Beckham


I only see six HOFers (Moss, TO, Fitz, Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown) on that list but that's just me. To be a HOF WR, you need to make at least one All-Pro team. If not, you need to be a 9x or 10x Pro Bowler like Tim Brown was.

Ward and Smith are deserving but were they game changing for extended periods of time? That's how I feel the hof needs to differentiate these players now.
