John Turney knows about all these questionable choices. He helped create the All-Mid Decade teams on Pro Football Journal.
The HOF should acknowledge or honor/accept these teams. Thoroughly thought out and sensible ...
Thanks for the compliment, but I wouldn't want Hall to acknowledge but was hoping to inspire some kind of panel to follow suit--the hall voters, a select group og them, maybe a pfra group of 50, something more than one's guy's opinion.
But, will tell you, there is work involved and for a group of 50 interested people would require a monitor to make sure punt returners are not mistaken for kick returners. Also, format-- taking into account 3-4s and 4-3s and so on--there would have to be debates before the debate, if you will.
would take a few months if any care were given to it, or even a group like ours would have some odd picks...I copped out by picking more than a 22-man roster...
