Why is Cris Carter not in the Hall of Fame?

I find it completely ridiculous that Cris Carter has not yet been selected to the Hall of Fame and has been passed over 4 times! He is 4th all time in terms of receptions with 1,101 and is 4th all time in terms of touchdown catches with 130, and is also 8th all time in receiving yards with 13,899. He played in the 1990's when there were very few pass-happy offenses like there are today and had he played in the present era his stats would undoubtedly be better. Even so at the time of his retirement he ranked 2nd all time in both catches and td catches and was 4th all time in receiving yards. He was an incredible player who was a complete receiver. He had great hands, ran crisp routes, and could beat a DB deep. He lead the league in touchdown catches 3 times and caught 122 passes two years in a row. He had 8 straight seasons with over 1,000 yards receiving and had 6 seasons where he caught at least 10 td passes including a season where he caught 17. To go along with his great stats he was one of the most reliable receivers in NFL history. He caught everything thrown his way and was always making plays on the football field. He is an accomplished player who belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I hope that he is inducted in 2012 because he is one of the top 5 receivers in NFL history (in my opinion) and hopefully the hall of fame voters finally come to their senses and vote him in.
