My point is putting up big playoff numbers on New England is meaningless. They're in the playoffs all the time and they succeed on some level in said playoffs most of the time, with a system and QB whose coattails any WR who makes it to the NFL can ride.

43M Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Oh, this thread's still goin' on, huh? Thought it would be locked by now simply because the mere thought of Edelman being HOF worthy is a complete joke to anyone who isnt completely clueless.

At this rate Edelman’s HOF eligibility will be up before this thread ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A receiver undeserving of the hall of fame has never been inducted based off one super bowl performance.

lancerman Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Lynn Swann is the correct case to compare to Edelman, but he also has 3 All Pro's and is on the All Decade Team for the 70's. Edelman lacks way too much for post season to put him over the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBs could give him a bump if he were close otherwise. He isnt. Hines Ward has 2 SBs, a SB MVP, and had a much better INDIVIDUAL career than Edelman despite playing with lesser QBs in running offenses most of his career, and he doesnt have a chance of getting in....and neither does Edelman.

It was a weird fluke deflection reception, not a sign of real talent. Lynn Swann getting 1987 Michael Jordan hang time catching passes over the middle is a sign of real talent.
