Is Edelman a HOFer?

[rayzor]

depends on if you're a bandwagon fan of the pats or not.

[4Corners]

Hell no. 

[Kevin Greene]

LOL, no chance.

Edelman HOF is a perspective of the inexperienced.

Lynn Swann never had a 1000 yard season.

Lynn Swann averaged 606 receiving yards for his career.

Lynn Swann retired with 5462 receiving yards. 

In Lynn Swann 's BEST season, he had 880 receiving yards.

Lynn Swann is in the Hall of Fame.

[Borat]

No, he catches balls from one of the best ~QBs ever and plays for bar none the best coach of all time.

Lynn Swam played in the 70's.  That's kind of an apples to oranges comparison.

If he passes rice for most post-season catches/yards/TD's then maybe. none of the stat boi's are including his playoff stats which is the only thing that would get him into the hall.

Nah.

The notion that a player who has never even been a Pro Bowler is somehow HoF material is ludicrous. Thanks for pointing out these fine Edelman accomplishments. 

[bababoey]

Just an fyi:

Muhsin Muhammad - 11438 yards 62 TD   2 pro-bowls  1 all-pro 1st team

Julian Edelman - 5390 yards 30 TD

Neither of these players are going to the HOF.

I was having this discussion today with a friend of mine.  I was using Moose instead.  Moose has a much better resume and I don't think he will sniff Canton.

To be fair, the 70s were John Fox and Rivera dream lands,.. throw 25 times a game or less, defense, control the clock, special teams.

oh— quarterbacks died,. That was ok and totally encouraged.. there was no such thing as pass interference,.. 1978 I believe is when that started,..

throwing a ball to a receiver was like passing a basketball,. Fight fight fight!

lastly— Roid rage was accepted like Weed is now,.. if you aren’t roiding then you are stupid kind of stuff....

thats why they are all dead or dying now.

And yet Swann's teammate and fellow wide receiver John Stallworth went for 1000+ yards three times, including 1,395 yards in 1984.

Plenty of wide receivers were putting up 1000+ receiving yard seasons in the 70's. 

Swann did not get elected to the Hall based on raw production. 

He was elected to the Hall based on big performances in big games. 

[Panthro]

Not even the best WR on the Pats this year

[MHS831]

Does the HOF have a wing for smallish, over-achieving, former white QBs playing WR?

With no Brady and BB, there is no Edelman.

Correction:   Former QB, not former white.
