Interesting. I didn't realize that. His abscence from the hall makes even less sense to me now.
If Mecca is right about the reasons he listed, there shouldn't even be a HoF, imnsho. Derrick was a game changer, period. Yes, there were spots where he was invisible, but Jerry Rice dropped some sure TD catches, too.
I would love to see Gretz's presentation to the voters. I think it's been reported that he never changes it from year-to-year.
