Go look at the MLBs - - or the OLBs in a 3-4 alignment - - who are in the Hall of Fame now. Is Fletcher really as good as any of them? I don't think so...

Well, Harry Carson just went into the hall of fame. He was a 9 time pro bowler, but was never once an AP All-pro. Fletcher is going to retire with just as many All-pro selections, but the many difference between them is pro bowl selections.

That's probably more of a New York-centric bias than a measurable gap in on field contribution. It didn't hurt that Carson's teams won more...but if he played for Seattle and won just as much as he did, no one would consider him a hall of famer. Even though he's pretty deserving. Just the benefit of playing home games in New York.
