Why do they only put a max of 5 guys in a year? Just doesn't make sense for guys who should be in have to wait and wait especially when coaches, owners, etc are included in the 5.

You have brought up a good point. Isn't thier a clause where a player from the yesteryears gets in also?

Yeah the veterans committee got 2 guys in this year. It seems like baseball has the best system. Get 75% and you are in regardless of how many other guys get in at the same time.

5 is to few per season, especially when a clown like deion sanders takes up a spot and Ray Guy is still waiting!

How Cris Carter hasn't been a first ballot HOFer is absolutely incomprehensible.

Ray guy should be in the hall of fame before deion sanders?

Baseball's way is ok. Either way your are going to have people and the players saying some form of the system is flawed.

Baseball's way would be good if sports writers weren't generally morons.

Baseball gets it right almost all of the time now. There are very few guys that belong in that dont get in eventually. There is an incredible amount of players in football that are HoF worthy that aren't in because of the stupid system that they use. With only 5 getting in a year and with spots for players being taken up by non players it will be forever before a Ray Guy gets in. And he surely belongs as probably the best punter, especially compared to his era.
