Tbh this is tougher than yall make it out to be. NFL hof aint easy and you kind of have to have made a name yourself and done a little more than just really good. Breaking records and dominant seasons and performances in the playoffs. Mike Evans is on the borderline hall of very good. I wouldn’t be upset if he eventually got in though.

Exactly, which is why, as usual, my thread is an excellent thread.
He's been very good and consistent. If that's your HOF criteria, he may get in. If your criteria is GREATNESS, I wouldn't put him in.
Now that receivers have an extra game to get to the 1k bench mark the threshold needs to be moved up.
Hôlt and Andre Johnson aren’t in yet, it’s difficult for above average receivers to get in for a variety of reasons.

What problem is this?
Outside of Hopkins and Green all these players have had HOF QBs throwing them the ball most of their careers. Mike had 3 years of old Brady. Put him in New England or Green Bay who knows.
Eh...plenty of players outside of blueblood teams get All-Pro selections. Tampa not being good outside of Brady has more to do with it.
If it were up to the Coli each position would have 3 players in the HOF.I love when fools gatekeep the HOF for players whose stats are literally on par with HOFers
People here be overrating players from the past too much and acting like all of them were putting up crazy seasons every year of their career that are unthinkable
To be fair some past WR seasons were strong relative to era. This is more about undervaluing longevity at the "very good" level as if most players can be that for 10+ years.

It has nothing to do with gatekeeping. There are those like me that think the HOF should be for the most ELITE (peak and prime are more valuable than sustained longevity), and then there are those that believe someone who has had "very good" seasons for a long period should get in.
Mike Evans is an excellent player. He may get in one day, but I don't think he's been elite enough over the course of his career to get in. People keep mentioning the 1,000 yard seasons as if this is some magical number nowadays. What happens if we ask how many 1,400 yard seasons a player has had? That's certainly more "elite" than 1,000 yard seasons.
1000 yards has always been a "magical" number though...
Which of these WR's should Mike Evans make it in over? I'm saying "over" because some have had to wait and we have people in here saying Evans is a first ballot HOF lock.
I'm not saying I'd put all of these players in over him, but who are you DEFINITELY taking Mike Evans over for the HOF?
Andre Johnson
Steve Smith
Reggie Wayne
Ochocinco
Tory H
Wes Welker
Brandon Marshall
Julio Jones
Antonio Brown
DeAndre Hopkins
Tyreek Hill
Devante Adams
