Kiwibrown Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Every few years more and more people enter the top 10 or climb the top of rec and rushing yards. Being lower on the totem pole is going to mean less and less in the future because there will be a log jam of guys with 10k+ yards, to determine 2ho makes the hall of fame it will have to be more sophisticated than 10k and more than x amount of tds. I prefer dominance over accumulation. Torry Holt is in my hall of fame, Calvin is greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those players you mention were as good as Calvin at his peak. He might be the most effective WR to ever step on a football field. Sure, lets leave him out of our Hall of Fame though, makes sense... We are to factor in the accumulated stats of every receiver when looking at their HoF chances. Calvin is not arbitrarily exempt from this because he was great in his prime. Longevity matters. If you are to take a receiver, if you can only have them on your roster for 9 years, that is a factor. Please try to read more thoroughly, I never said that Calvin should be left out of the HoF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramxel Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Why are people comparing him to Fitz? Fitz was a great receiver, but hardly got a fraction of the attention Calvin got, and Calvin just eats him for breakfast in terms of ability.

Absolutely, but plays such as those will weigh heavier than if he played 9 seasons compared to 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 This is simply a fact. Only remote arguement which isnt even close to a good one is his injury history. But it didnt stop him from producing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it is a part of internet culture, dont over read into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this assumes that you have to choose one or the other. Other players that have not gone in first ballot were dominant, and had dramatically more longevity, even if not quite as dominant as Calvin. If Calvin wanted to get in 1st ballot, he shouldn't have played 9 years. Quote Gah the "change my mind" meme is so counterproductive.

When you consider some guys that have recently been inducted, CJ is far beyond their stats and talent. Me saying your wrong, yeah thats a fact too. It is what it is, i said what i said.

Yeah you're literally just stating your opinion dude. You need to look up the difference apparently. Like who? His statistical career is inferior to most WRs that have been inducted recently, and his overall career does not hold any more merit than them, TO, Andre Reed, Marvin Harrison, Tim Brown and Cris Carter all have amassed a superior career to Calvin but did not get in first ballot. If they had to wait, so should he. 5 minutes ago, wwhickok said: Me saying your wrong, yeah thats a fact too. It is what it is, i said what i said Lol, no it isn't.
