SteelKing728 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 He's been out of the league since before the 2022 season ended, but he's calling it quits officially. Is AB a Hall of Fame worthy player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskieTitan Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 He's got a ring and recognition to his name, and put up some solid stats. Is it enough for the Hall of Fame? He's got an outside shot, but could have used a couple more good seasons to secure his spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his 4 x 1st Team All Pros will nudge him over the threshold...He was literally, the best at his position, for no less than 3 straight years. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a 'moral' or 'psych' clause to prevent his being inducted; hopefully, the voters will ensure he waits a good long time before enshrined... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for Pittsburgh too, which historically has had some of the weakest candidates inducted. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Between AB and Matt Ryan, the last few days have been a real exodus of good players who I thought retired years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP3MVP Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 His career ended the night he walked out Tampa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkeyDoke21 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) He's definitely a HoF caliber player, and I believe had an HoF career, on the field. I don't know whether he gets in or not though. His resume is comparable to Calvin, who went in 1st ballot. If AB gets in, it will be a long wait for him. Had he retired young, in Pittsburgh, and not had everything occur that happened after he left, I think we'd view him as a no brainer, even without the Tampa ring. I have no idea how the voters will view him in totality. That induction speech would be interesting, to say the least.

I thought I remember reading at the point AB was starting to go nuts, he was on pace to top a lot of Rice's stats (When Rice was the same age).
