Why isn't Cris Carter in the Hall of Fame?
He's been passed over the last 4 years.

This doesn't make sense to me.

4th all time receptions

8th all time receiving yards

4th all time receiving TDs

8 time pro bowler

2 time all pro.

What am I missing? Why is he not in?

    Also, was there ever a year you could even argue he was the best in the league? Seriously asking, don't have time to look it up. Seems Rice and Moss loomed over him throughout his prime.

    He held the single season reception record for a year, isn't that enough?

    Re: Why isn't Cris Carter in the Hall of Fame?
    It seems like the football hall of fame is easier to get into than baseball's yet a top 5 all time receiver can't get in?

    When are we keeping people out because he's an asshat? Deion is in.

    Sure, Moss and Rice were both better than him, but both are first ballot hall of famers. Doesn't seem like a reason to keep Carter out.

    You didn't ask whether he should be in, you asked why he isn't in. Those listed are the reasons why he's not in, not reasons why he shouldn't be in.

    Chris Carter made the comments on 12/4/10. the next game was the blowout against the jets. Deion had 3 catches for 64 yards with a 25 yard td catch.

    Not exactly lighting it up... but I thought I remembered him making a DB look foolish in that game - maybe it was on the 25 yd td catch.
