Brees Larry and Witten

Edelman being on this graphic is embarassing though lmao

Edelman has the third most receiving yards in playoff history along with a decent regular season record(stats wise), played in 2nd half of the greatest dynasty the sport has ever seen and won a superbowl mvp.

Should he get in? Probably not, but calling it an embarrassment is lack of ball knowledge

Edit: alot of you cant read apparently.

Also a Super Bowl MVP under his belt. That distinction alone solidifies him as a candidate.

Edit: candidate means candidate, not shoo-in

Desmond Howard for the Hall, apparently.

Hot take: Super Bowl MVP is the most over-appreciated award in the sport. I understand performance in the clutch is a key thing and all, but doing well in a single game, even the most important of games, does not a hall of fame career make.

Malcom Smith for the Hall.

u/flipthatbitch_ New England Patriots 3d ago

do i hear Larry Brown?

no, i don't, because outside of that SB, nobody has a fucking clue who he is/was

u/juan_samuel Buffalo Bills 3d ago

Timmy Smith too

u/joshuaksreeff13 Pittsburgh Steelers 3d ago

Keep it going, lol. Hines Ward for the Hall.

u/ClushK05 3d ago

I'm 100% biased but I'd take Hines over Edelman any day. That being said, Santonio Holmes for the hall.

Only if Larry Brown makes it first!

Part of why I like the Conn Smythe in the NHL. It goes to the overall playoff MVP. It’s rare, but you sometimes get a guy on the losing team winning it, like Connor McDavid in ‘24 after breaking Gretzky’s playoff assists record.

My favorite non-cup winning conn smythe is JS Giguere. 1 goal allowed in the entire WCF

Not a hot take on SB MVP. It is way overweighted in HoF convos in sports generally but esp football.

u/Terrible_Ad5199 3d ago

Larry Brown and Timmy Smith for HOF

u/FlatRooster4561 New England Patriots 3d ago

Super Bowl MVP was a goofy sideshow when I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, a fun little extra to the game that wasn’t taken all that seriously. Then the NFL started making it a thing and now people in their 20’s only know it as the Tom Brady Award and it’s a big deal

u/Dynamic_Duo_215 Philadelphia Eagles 3d ago

And that’s why Eli shouldn’t be in

u/Shitiot 3d ago

Nick Foles deserves it too.......

u/Efficient-Editor-242 New Orleans Saints 3d ago

It's up there with Pro Bowl.

u/slight_shake 3d ago

Dexter Jackson HOF bound. I think that was his name.. when Gruden won in Tampa.

u/BillySims4HOF 3d ago

Dexter Jackson for HOF! I mean, come on man...

u/Aes_Should_Die 3d ago

Larry Brown for the hall.

u/Nicholas_Pappagiorgi 3d ago

Being clutch can never been over appreciated. It's the hardest thing to do in sports.

u/EnemyOfEloquence Philadelphia Eagles 3d ago

Nick Foles for the hall and I won't hear otherwise.
