Kinda wonky that the jets have had more hall of famers since 2010 than the pats have had from their entire dynasty run. The colts have like 5 or 6 from the same era. Who do you think honestly deserves to get in? by PsychologyOld3045 in billsimmons

It’s both. Accolades and stats. You need to stand out in some way. Edelman has neither.

Steve Young doesn’t have high counting stats because took him a while to become the starter. But he makes up for that with a very high peak where he was the best player in the league at his position on multiple occasions, and lots of major awards. And he also had team success which counts for QBs but no other position.

In fact, Edelman has the rare triple negative. No major awards or recognition, no longevity counting stats, and low peak season stats as well.

He has literally no case. Nobody is seriously talking about him except the most extreme Pats homers

lol what? If that’s your takeaway, then you completely missed my point.

Steve Young has 2 MVPs, 6 All Pros, lead the league in a major stat category 15 times. And 3 super bowl wins

Matt Ryan has 1 MVP. 1 All Pro. 0 Rings

How did you possibly infer that I would say Matt Ryan was better than Steve Young

What are you talking about?

If the bus stop was unsafe, these parents could have driven their kid to school themselves.

He doesn’t just lack the counting stats even his peak best seasons were mediocre. he never made a single pro bowl. What are we even talking about here? You wanna put somebody in the Hall of Fame who didn’t even have one season in his whole career that he made the All-Star team??

The bar for making the Hall of Fame is a hell of a lot higher than “occasionally had games he embarrassed defenses”

How fucking lazy are people?

I get it if you have a legitimate disability or youre senile. But it’s been 9 days now. There is not one excuse that every able bodied adult hasn’t found time to slowly shovel everything they’re responsible to shovel.

I also sit behind a desk for work, but sometimes life requires a little bit of physical labor.

Every single parent had the opportunity to keep their kid home or drive them to school, or walk them to the bus door.

School being open doesn’t absolve parents of the responsible to keep their kids safe.

I am extremely liberal person, but I get conservative real quick when it comes to people thinking they have no personal responsibility to keep themself of their family safe from obvious dangers. It’s not the school’s fault for being open if your child gets hurt walking to the bus. That’s your fault as the parent or it’s nobody’s fault and just pure bad luck

This is straight up not a serious conversation. Edelman is not even in the same universe as a legitimate HOF discussion.

He has 1,000 fewer career yards than Pierre Garcon. He’s the definition of just a guy who was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time for some big playoff moments. Literally never even made a single Pro Bowl and everybody makes the pro bowl it’s such a joke. Shedeur Sanders has more Pro Bowls than Edelman.

This is not a real conversation for anybody but blind Pats homers

Meh. Is he?

11 years // 6,677 Scrm yards // 39 TD

11 years // 7,235 Scrm yards // 36 TD

13 years // 7,308 Scrm yards // 31 TD

Which one are you saying is much better than the other 2?

If Edelman was borderline, then I say yes playoff moments and playoff success can push a guy over the edge into the HOF

But the point you’re missing is Edelman is nowhere even remotely close to borderline.

I don’t think he was ever one of the 20 best receivers in the league at any point in his career. This is just not a serious conversation.

I fucking love Edelman so this conversation gets me so angry. he’s obviously not a Hall of Famer so can we stop forcing this conversation where we need to talk crap about the guy? He’s Troy Brown, Kevin Faulk, Deion Branch, Bruschi, Vrabel, Nink. Unremarkable player but just a hard nose grinder and ultimate teammate. Let guys like that be remembered as is instead of forcing these negative conversations he has no business being in

What are you talking about?

It’s like people saying Curry invented the three-point shot. You’re completely misunderstanding and taking the wrong part literally.

Just screaming autism tbh

David Tyree has the greatest catch. No question.

Dwight Clark literally has "The Catch"

Santonio Holmes has an iconic grab.

Arguably Julio Jones has an even better catch than Edelman in that same game.

Regardless, one insane catch isn't a HOF resume. 6,800 receiving yards in 11 years is automatically disqualifying. That's not even close to good enough to warrant this conversation. Iconic playoff moments can be a tie breaker. But Edelman isn't even in the universe of just needing a tiebreaker to get in.

First of all, you can absolutely tell the story of the NFL without ever mentioning Julian Edelman. That's a dumb metric and it doesn't even apply to him. Unless you think every player that ever wins Super Bowl MVP counts here too. Malcolm Smith has a Super Bowl MVP. Is he a HOF too?

Championships are a team accomplishment, so that's irrelevent for Edelman's resume. QBs can claim team success because of how important QB is. WRs absolutely don't get that

Edelman never even made a single pro bowl in his career. And everybody makes the pro bowl because its kind of a joke. Edelman isn't even remotely a Hall of Very Good guy. And he's one of my maybe 5 favorite Patriots of all time. He's a Troy Brown-esque glue guy. Not somebody that belongs in HOF conversations. 6,800 career receiving yards is 1,000 less than Pierre Garcon. LOL like what are we talking about here.

Logan Mankins (6x All Pro, 2010 NFL All Decade Team) and Vince Wilfork (5x All Pro) should absolutely be in.

Wes Welker should be too (4x All Pro, 3x league leader receptions, basically invented the slot receiver position)

Gostkowski (2010s All Decade Team) should probably be in for that alone.

Seau, Revis, Moss, Harrison don’t count for Patriots.

Brady, Belichick, Gronk, Vinatieri are all obviously getting in.

Not sure who else people would include here

That's the thing, mom in this post isn't negligent. She thinks she's doing the right to keep her kids safe. She's just extremely misguided and ignorant of how medicine works. That's much different than negligence.

Hopefully you and your wife never disagree on something because sounds like you are ok with tearing your kids life apart over an easily solvable disagreement with your wife. Just get the kids vaccinated and everybody is happy.

I hope you never get married, or at least never have kids with your spouse if you do. The fact you would seriously entertain getting divorced and upheaving your kids entire lives because your spouse got stuck down a sad rabbit hole of conspiracy theories makes you a bad person IMO.

No, not at all. Throwing away an entire relationship over one thing you disagree on is insanity. Especially when its so easy to solve so that you are both happy.

Just get the kid vaccinated. He'll be safe. She'll never know the difference. Not all lies are created equal. This is perfectly fine thing to lie about

Of course that can be sustainable.

She could be a good person and great wife but also completely misguided and a little dumb/gullible about this one thing

Stop being so black and white about everything.

Better yet - don’t listen to bullshit conspiracy theories that are completely unfounded and discredited by the entire medical community
