BillyWhiteShows Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) I was shocked to see Adam Schefter tweet this out last night. It seemed somewhat of an emotional exaggeration: Some followed suit (mostly Boston reporters) but a few others agreed! whereas others strongly disagreed: Ben Allbright has been challenging people for days over why Edleman is not a Hall of famer. Lots of smart comments: Personally I think it’s a huge exaggeration. He is not a HOF candidate but is a good slot WR.

BillsFan130 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Na. From my recollection he didn’t really get good until like 2014. And even his “good years “ aren’t hall of fame good enough in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Seriously if it wasn't for the last quarter of that game it could of reasonably been a kicker or a punter that should of got MVP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shefter isnt a Patriot fan at all.? He must be on some serious stuff. When your teammate the TE has stats that make yours look sad and your a WR. No hall for you! But he has time left.

berg1029 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Edelman is a good player.. but in no way is he worthy of the HOF. And fwiw, Welker was much better than Edelman and it's unlikely he'll ever get in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcali Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Again a lot of this returns to the genius of belichek. Brady gets lost in the shuffle if he isnt miraculously picked at 6 by NE.Perfect storm there--nerdy unathletic perfectionist guy becomes a great QB in conjunction w the perfectionist and genius Belichek. Edelman is a stocky little guy with a real quick 1st move and sure hands perfectly suited to the rules of the nfl and to belicheks taking advantage of the rules as well as seeing the weaknesses in all the defenses. Better for belicheks system than Randy Moss. Tasker would have been just as good in Belicheks system as a WR as edelman is. Same quick first move(he was uncoverable on STs) and same sure hands and same short stocky build. Levy while a good coach wasnt in the same universe as Belichek and didnt figure out how to use Taskers receiving skills.When he finally saw WR time he was too old and kelly was too broken down(bad shoulder). That said its hard to knock Edelman--He did brilliantly what was asked of him. Hall of Fame?? who knows anymore about that??? His stats say no.But in fairness he wasnt featured til late in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) I stated it in another thread, but at 499 grabs, 5,390 yards and 30 tds we shouldn’t even be having this conversation, especially at 32 years old. He is the Welker replacement. That said, and I can’t believe I am saying this, but I believe part of the reason why this is coming up....honestly, is because Edelman is white. i don’t care that black reporters and black former athletes are also bringing this up. I think this is part of the underlying reason, along with the desire to make the Patriots overall success about someone other than Brady and Bill.

Captain Murica Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 This is a joke right? Welker was better ,and isn't even deserving of the Hall of Fame. Don't give my the rings argument because that is just a feeble argument. If you combined Welker's and Edelman's numbers you get almost the equivalent of one Andre Reed Wes Welker's Career numbers: G GS REC YDS YPR LG TD Career 175 102 903 9,924 11.0 99 50 Julian PEDelman Total 122 71 499 5,390 10.8 77 30 Andre Reed Total 234 951 13,198 13.9 83 87 And we all recall how long it took Reed to get in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 this was a topic on sirius nfl yesterday. the announcer, (i think it was bob papa) was furious at the idea itself. as great as he has been in the playoffs, edelman will not see the HOF, nor should he. He'd have to play another decade, and maybe his numbers would start to stack up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
