Is it just me, or is total tackles somewhat irrelevant concerning HOF consideration? It seems to me a high tackle number indicates an inability to get off the field. Of course it may be the fault of the other 10 defenders but I'd love to have the ability to see tackle percentage.

If one LB averages 10 tackles a game and another one averages just 8, does that automatically mean the more prolific tackler is the better player? What if the 10 tackle LB plays on a bad defense that's on the field 85 plays a game and the other LB is only on the field for 60?

A tackle percentage alone would not help a lot because in teams with a an inadaquate or bad secondary the DBs would make then a high tackle percentage. But for DBs many tackles indicates in most cases only that they are not very good defenders because DBs make the most tackles after allowing the catch.

I think a tackle for loss stat would help a lot. Especially for the front seven...
