Team success isn't a prerequisite at the same level as for non QBs, but it still does play a role, and Taylor is one example.
But you can like at guys like Emmit Thomas, who was among the top 10 all time in career interceptions, who wasn't enshrined for 40 years after he retired, and Johnny Robinson, who had 1 more career interception than Thomas, and Ots Taylor, who had better numbers than Lynn Swann, as players who illustrate that fact.
I've always said that Tommy Nobis was every bit as good as Ray Nitsche, but he will never get in, because of the surrounding talent.
5.5 will not get Charles in.
He will have to get over 10,000 yards, and the Chiefs will have to make some noise in the playoffs to have any chance.
