We could use a couple of Edelman's on this team. Undrafted and headed to the HOF.
I think the notion he is close to the HOF is crazy.Quote:

They made TO wait forever and he has the third most TD catches in NFL history and was also big in big games. He played the SB with a broken leg.Quote:

TO was a well known arrogant a-hole and was only out for TO. Not a team player at all and I think voters look for more than stats - and yes, I think held it against him that he was also a pretty big a-hole to all of them as well.
Edelman is going to need to do a lot more, I agree.
He plays for the Patriots, so, yeah, he's a cheater almost by definition. :encore:
He's a cheater because he served a 4 game suspension to begin the season for a positive PED test!Quote:

Playoff success is valuable and does get weighted I think heavily but it has to be backed up by regular season success.Quote:

Hall of famers are supposed to be able to do amazing things in any system with any QB. You telling me Edelman would be a HOF if he was playing with Dalton for the Bengals?
He has never been one of the top 5 players at WR in any year.
