Who would qualify more, the people who actually played the sport or people who watch from the outside? I would take the people that actually lined up and played on sundays. I can see both sides. Maybe there should be a weighted vote. given the players and writers votes with the players weighted a little more.

I just dont see why writers would have an agenda about getting a player in the HOF, what would they get out of it? Buts lets say the agenda is true, I think it would be much harder for 1 writer from say KC to push a chief into the hall because he has to get a large % of the writers to buy into his logic which I think would not be all that easy. Whereas I think it would be much easier for a group of old teammates to band together and get a buddy in.
Like I said before, the current system is not perfect but it is the best.
