Then you have to consider that these guys didn't get the extra DSFL year of earnings that guys do now, so they started at 50 TPE, not 250. Also, in S1 we didn't have access to as much TPE for the top tier earners as receivers did for S2 and beyond. Pro equipment didn't exist back then. Participation TPE for things like mocks and season predictions weren't there.

Still, it's about relative advantage, there was no class above them that could outshine and blocked their progress purely with more TPE.

But your other arguments were very compelling and it's always nice to learn a few things about league history about the way. It seems indeed that even though football lacks era-adjusted stats raw numbers should allow to paint rather full picture of WRs careers.

As is the case with HoF I guess it will boil down to how many inductees HoF committee will deem necessary since it seems 3 WRs are surefire bet, with 5 slightly below them which just seems a lot for one class and one position to have that status.
