Oh I am too but since that's not going to happen I just belligerently adopt the position that every single player better than the worst player in at a given position deserves to be in the HOF.

Here's a list of every eligible player who in my opinion has a better resume than the worst player in the HOF at their position, which includes 44 players.

QB - none

RB (Floyd Little: 2010; 1967-1975, 9-DEN; 1xAP1, 5xPB; 1641att, 6323yds, 3.9ypa, 43td, 32fumb, 215rec, 2418yds, 9tds)
