Forge Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Injuries killed him. He was an absolute beast when he came into the league. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskieTitan Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Shame he never got a ring, but he did have a chance to play in the big game. Will missing out on the Super Bowl ring keep him out of the Hall of Fame? He was an All-Pro in 2012, and was named to the pro bowl 4 times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tk3 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 tbh, I thought he's been retired what a stud though for those few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to pretend to be any sort of expert on offensive linemen and their hall of fame credentials, but isn't his career waaaay too short to even be a consideration? Like, Alan Faneca has a crap ton of all pros and was stuck on the ballot for a bunch of years Jahri Evans (4x), Yanda (2x) are both very likely choices I'll put Mankins ahead of him although they both have just 1 all pro Zach Martin (4x) will eventually retire and jump him in the queue. DeCastro probably as well I'd argue Brian Waters and Ruben Brown who are not even on ballots are more deserving At a position like offensive guard, I just don't see players getting elected with enough frequency to get him in (or even on the ballot).. I'm not sure he will ever be even in the top 3 of eligible guards at any given point in time, let alone the top guy out. I don't think a Super Bowl would have been enough of a difference maker to close that gap. Just my 2 cents though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 When healthy, Mike was a pretty reliable player the last two years. Probably was... well WHEN healthy. Even games where he was good to go, he didnt get 100% of snaps. Seattle routinely subbed in other guards for stretches of game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the 49ers win that game Iupati isn't a Hall of Famer. After he departed his play dropped off significantly.

Eagles $5$ Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 He should have played for the Rams this year, then would have been an NFC West HOFer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
