We have to recall that era and how these guys were, basically, forced to block and that was with their head first. There is, in my mind, absolutely no question about concussions and CTE being an overwhelming factor in Tyrer killing his wife. While pathology isn't always causality, it's hard to argue against it when the guy was pretty calm and easy-going otherwise. Tie in the financial struggles of losing a few businesses and the recipe was easily there to tip someone with mental health issues over the edge.
Should we forever crucify Jim or is there some way to find forgiveness and let him into the HoF he would very much otherwise deserve? It's a tough one, for sure. Morally, I have a difficult time regardless of reason.
