He's a HOF player in my book and in a lot of people's book. We can agree to disagree. Your book doesn't matter. Neither does mine, BTW. It's up to the selection committee. I hope they judge him by his full body of work, which is totally lacking, rather than his ability to ride coattails into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 They’ll set up a side committee that lets in Julian, just you watch.... He will get in and every day at Canton at least 100 Pats fans will be there praising him, ruining your enjoyment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark92 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I totally understand how hall of fame voting works. I know his regular season numbers are not close to the threshold that gets you in. However, there is not another receiver in NFL history that has his post season numbers and accomplishments without the regular season numbers. He is an interesting case and I believe his post season numbers will get him in. You all can feel how you like and make your arguments with voter history on your side. I'm just saying I believe his post season numbers which probably will climb more should get him in. Not 1st ballot obviously but he will get in.

I never said to look past his regular season numbers. Truth is most players only have regular season numbers. Edelman has both and his post season numbers will get him in. There will come a point where a lot of these Patriots are going to make their way in because of the postseason accomplishments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 He shouldn't get in based on his regular season stats, but I'm a firm believer that postseason numbers should be taken into consideration. It's why Terrell Davis, who had 1,140 rushing yards and 12 TDs in 8 postseason games (extrapolated to 16 games, that's 2,280 yards and 24 TDs) against the highest level of competition, is in -- and rightfully so. Edelman has 115 receptions and 1,412 receptions in 18 games (only 14 starts; he was a special teamer when he started there). That's damn impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he's not, but I won't be surprised if he gets another 250 catches or so over the next three seasons and ends up with ~750-800 for his whole career. His career ain't over yet.

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Has he ever even been a number 1 option on the Pats? How many other players could do similar in the same role? He is another Tom Brady creation like Deion Branch, Wes Welker (again who was a better player than JE), David Patton, David Givens, etc. he is a little scumbag and made a nice career for himself catching 5 yard passes from the best QB ever. But putting him in the HOF just goes a step further in devaluing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catches is so misleading when you compare guys from this generation to previous ones. The HOF should be reversed for greatness.

Character doesn't get you in unfortunately. He would go to Cole Beasley if he was in the role. Same with average solid to decent slot receiver in the nfl. JE runs good option routes and has good chemistry with Brady. He could easily be replaced and they won’t miss a beat. Just like the Pats did with Welker, a much better player than JE who will not get in the HOF. and I agree about the character. I just want to point out that he is a cheating scumbag who takes cheap shots. i just looked up the stats between Welker and Little Julian. Welker has almost double JE’s yards and Tds and he isn’t sniffing the HOF. Some people are just prisoners of the moments. Is Brandon Stokley making the HOF? 8 minutes ago, Mark92 said: When Tom Brady has needed a 1st down he goes to Edelman. Scumbags make the hall as well. Character doesn't get you in unfortunately.

Well, he's great in the postseason, and I'm a firm believer that the postseason matters -- A LOT. I also think he's at least as good as Welker, and let's not forget that Welker choked big time against the Giants in the 2011 SB and the Ravens in the 2012 AFC championship game early in the second half when the Pats had a chance to put the game away. Those were two huge drops on relatively easy throws that would have changed the game if caught. The drop in the SB arguably cost them the game. If he catches that, they're in the red zone and can probably run out the clock. I'm not saying Edelman should get in, by the way. @C.Biscuit97 -- Edelman never did this. Watch this play closely. It's a terrible drop: Edited February 6, 2019 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
