That's a nice career, but it's not a HOF career, in my opinion. Without the 2K yard season, he wouldn't even sniff Canton. I think it was a horrible move to vote him in. But, then again, Joe Namath shouldn't be in, either, so I guess Canton's been watered down for a long time. Expand 8 playoff games and 1,140 rushing yards and 12 TDs (plus a SB MVP). That's not a small sample size, and the numbers are staggering. Those games were against the best competition too.

I do get that it was a short career but he was a dominant, game changer. That’s what a HOF should be in my mind. Not this generation’s Wayne Chrebet playing with the best qb ever. Expand I don't recall ever thinking TD was a top 5 all-time RB. I think top 20 might even be a stretch.

I could go on about why he is in the HOF, but I’ll just sum it up in ome sentence: Joe Namath is in the HOF because voters of that era understood the difference between being a passer and being a quarterback especially in an era where QBs called their own plays.

JMO though. 1
GunnerBill Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 No. Hall of very good. One of the best slots I have seen. Would take him over Welker in a heartbeat and he always shows up in the clutch. But I don't think he is quite HoF calibre. 1

Big Turk Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Welker would go in before Edelman...he invited his position in the Patriot offense.
