Damon Allen Recognition?
Yes I realize Damon Allen plays in the CFL, but the career totals are still impressive by any standards.
I do realize also that most CFL Qb's who try the NFL do not make it ( although Garcia, Flutie, Warren Moon all had pretty good careers for aged players when they arrived).
Consider Damon Allen's phenomenal career totals . 5000 completions, 71,000 yards, 399 TD's. 11,000 RUshing Yards with 90 TD's. (still going too)
Is he even mentioned in Canton at all? I may be wrong but Canton is the Pro Football Hall of Fame, not the NFL Hall of Fame.? Is he recognized as a great QB in the USA at all?
Sadaharu Oh is recognized as a great HR hitter, even though he didnt play in the MLB.

I think he should definetely get inducted into the CFL & The Pro Football Hall Of Fame
The man is legendary

If the Pro Football Hall Of Fame is suppose to be all football, then that is exactly what has to be done!
Unless they change it to the NFL HOF then Damon Allen better be there
As impressive as Allen's numbers are he will never get consideration in Canton because he didn't produce any of those numbers in the NFL. You are right that it's the Pro Football Hall of Fame but Allen will have to settle for the CFL Hall of Fame in Hamilton.
Canada does produce some very talented players, and IMO Canadian football is more intense than the NFL. I agree, its not the NFL HOF but the Pro Football HOF so he should get inducted.
