    Fair points but over the course of this dynasty how many other wr have had the success he has had in this system? I think it’s a lazy argument to say he wouldn’t be as good in another system though. The best qb and coach of all time cater their passing attack through you but bc other teams aren’t smart enough to use you that way you should be punished?

    I can understand the regular season argument, make enough big plays and have enough big games when it matters most and it will outweigh regular season. Tough he was hurt for last years run (where they did not win) but if he replicates this years playoff performance again I think he will be in for sure.

    Wes Welker
    Deion Branch (also a SB MVP)
    Troy Brown
    Danny Amendola

    Obviously Moss who was a HOF before coming there. And Gronk as a TE is Bradys best reciever ever.

    I actually think the success those other receivers have had with Brady really hurts Edelman's argument. Especially Welker, Brown and Branch.

    Am I reading this wrong, you think Gronk is a better receiver than Moss?

    No, I see how thats confusing. I meant Gronk is his best long term receiver. Moss is obviously a way better receiver than Gronk but he was only with Brady for 3 years.

    If you wanna look at a guy who's stats blow Edleman's out the water and was also a SB MVP but isnt sniffing the hall of fame look at Hines Ward.

    1,000 catches, over 12,000 yards, and 85 TDs.

    Edelman is not a Hall of Famer and to be honest really shouldn't be that close.
    Run the table.

    Remember how Quin Snyder got ran out of Missouri?
    He then had some very rough years then BOOM! he is the head coach of the Utah Jazz.

    Just to clarify, I said Edelman was "headed to the HOF", not that he was ever going to be voted in. Nobody knows. I think he makes it if he keeps up this level of play. Maybe all of the above (mostly retired) guys will get in at some point. Edelman has 3-5 more productive years so we'll see. You do know he is a slot receiver and not a Wideout? My point was he is a gritty guy who obviously gives his all on the field every time out. PED's? Who knows how many HOF guys took ped's before they started testing. Hell, Ray Lewis killed a guy and got in.

    This thread is off the rails. Julian Edelman? How does his inclusion or non-inclusion in the HOF have anything to do with the pile of suck this season has become?

    Focus people, FOCUS!!

    I bet Q would have been a good football player. Maybe he’ll be the next Jimmy Graham.

    Jeez, if this thread drift doesn’t tell you how much we suck...

    With Georgetown and St. John's going down today, we're back to the entire Crappy Eight being below .500 again. Amazingly, Xavier once again has a shot to get within a game of first in the Crappy Eight with a home win over DePaul tonight. We're still in this thing as hard as it is to believe.

    Two bids for the Big East this year unless something changes in a hurry.
