It took Reed 8 years so lets not act like hrs a measuring stick to getting in.

The Hall doesn't care who you played with. The Hall doesn't care about injuries. The Hall cares about stats.

There's a log jam at receiver and unless that changes by the time he's eligible, it'll take him a long time to get in.

There's only two receivers I expect to go in first ballot and that's Owens and Moss.

No way Owens gets in 1st ballot, he's made far too many enemies for that to happen, not to mention his reputation as a team killer and a "Me first" player.

Oh please. This isn't the Baseball Hall of Fame. The PFHoF doesn't care about enemies off the field or being a "me first" player. Hell, they won't even take people out after they've been inducted because all they focus on is on-field production.
Spoiler


And the bold can also be said about Randy Moss.

Andre Reed shouldn't even have gotten in at all.

Also, now that I've actually opened my spoiler, I realized the first picture isn't there. I also included Michael Irvin.

Irvin and Carter both had to wait ridiculously longer than their resumes required them to. Part of that was their off the field transgressions. I think the same will apply for T.O.

That's outrageous. Like mind-blowing outrageous.

The fact he had to wait so long was criminal. There is a good reason why fans and eventually media personnel began speaking on the travesty of him not being selected; people saw him play and witnessed what he did on that field. Nobody was tougher in the middle, nobody ran the slant better. His longevity is noteworthy as well. And the thing is, he put up excellent numbers while playing in an offense that centered around Thurman Thomas. He retired in what? Like the top 2-3 WR's of all time in numbers?

Man, I don't know what's happening these days, but it's like everybody is revising the careers of great players to be garbage all of a sudden.

Carter waited 5 ballots. Irvin only waited for 2. Both were injustices. Just like Art Monk having to wait as long as he did (7 ballots!)

Just like with Andre Reed, campaigning from fans and media started for Monk and eventually he got his just due.
