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.

You could find it if you look hard enough, I don't know where it is. There was a big controversy the first year he didn't get in, because Dr. Z of SI said the presenter hurt DT's chances... so Gretz took a lot of heat, and posted his entire presentation on the Chiefs website, had a couple columns about it, etc. Plus listed off all the people who participated in the letter campaign, it was an impressive list.
