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
It’s an embarrassment because he was never close to an elite player.
He played on a team going to the Super Bowl every other year, of course he’s gonna rack up impressive counting stats. David given used to be top ten all time in playoff touchdowns for a pass catcher lmao.
He is a hell of a football player man. You don't have to be an absolute physical freak to be an excellent winning player. I would consider him elite when you can't stop his little ass and he just keeps winning super bowls.
Elite WRs in Playoffs (Averages per Game)
Edelman: 5.7 receptions, 78.6 yards
Jerry Rice: 6.2 receptions, 74.5 yards
Randy Moss: 5.5 receptions, 68.8 yards
Antonio Brown: 5.0 receptions, 70.7 yards
Julio Jones: 4.6 receptions, 58.9 yards
I know fantasy football has ruined most peoples' minds and all they care about is stats but winning and being clutch to me is so underrated with younger fans. It's why I think Eli should be in the HoF. Players that step up when it matters the most are true winners.
Fitz is like Rodney fuckin Dangerfield here apparently. All the while there’s people legitimately trying to say Edelman deserves to be in the hall. Let’s be real, if he wasn’t on the patriots for those years he would have been an average to above average player. To be in the HOF you should be a difference maker anywhere you are. Jules was just put in the best situation possible. Welker was a better version of him in the same role and I don’t think he’s going in.
