Is Edelman a HOFer?

For some reason people in the media are declaring that after Edelman’s MVP performance on Sunday he should be inducted into the HOF.

Dude is a clutch receiver and shows up in the post season but his career numbers don’t say HOF. I think it’s a freaking joke people actually believe he’s worthy.https://www.12up.com/posts/6289173-this-stat-proves-julian-edelman-s-hall-of-fame-case-is-an-absolute-joke

The fact that this thought has ever run through anyone's mind is completely ridiculous.

Let's compare to Hines Ward who probably won't get in himself...

 

Hines Ward: 1,088 catches, 13,624 yards, 95 TDs, 1 SB MVP on a run first team

Edelman: 614 catches, 6,802 yards, 35 TDs and 1 SB MVP with GOAT coach in a pass friendly system

Hell no, not at this point in his career. Sure, he’s had some nice games, but he’s not alone in that category. Want to know who has more career receiving yards than Edelman? Brandon LaFell. ‘Nuff said. 

McCaffeey could have more yards from scrimmage after next season than Edelman has in over 10 years...

Not even close. Great player for sure, but nowhere in the discussion for the HOF. With the NFL going more and more pass heavy it's going to take ridiculous numbers to even get in the conversation as a WR moving forward. I don't think Smitty has more than a 50/50 shot and Edelman is nowhere close to Smitty.

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
