Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 HOF talent, but too short to be a HOF career. I really expected him to come back after a year of recovery, but maybe it's for the best considering the severity of his injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for this chapter I would label it "inconclusive". I do believe that had he kept playing Luck may have ended up with a Super Bowl appearance or two. However, for the most part I do agree with you. Football is too unpredictable a sport to rely on that "one guy" coming in, being what he was supposed to be, staying healthy and surrounding him with the players, coaches and system for them to be worth a true tank. And even then you have to worry about teams like KC, Philly, Buffalo ect that will build something better and you have to overcome all that in a single elimination playoff scenario.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 The three most comparable players would have to be Gale Sayers, Tony Boselli, and Terrell Davis. All great talents at their time but without longevity. Luck was as impactfull as all of these players. I would argue he is a better candidate than guys like Lynn Swann or some other mediocre players that have made the HOF. That said I would not vote him in. I wouldn't have voted in Boselli or Davis either. I wouldn't have voted in Marv Levy or a number of other marginal players. One thing that will be interesting to see. Boselli and Davis retired because they couldn't play anymore. Luck simply quit. Yes he was injured a lot but he was healthy when he quit on his team. I think that will be a big negative narrative behind closed doors when they discuss him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Phillip Rivers, who *may not get in, has more claim than Luck. Edited July 11, 2023 by Chicken Boo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Most overrated prospect in the history of professional sports. He consistently messed up in big moments and was gifted the worst didvision in the history of football. It would diminish the value of those already in. If he gets in, Tony Mandarich might as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Every player is "eligible for the HOF" after 5 years.... Luck had 2 monster seasons. That's about it. Mahomes's numbers are the "mind BOGGLING" ones, by comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had, he would have avoided injury, played 15 years and won 5 or 6 superbowls. In my imagination. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
