Ellard? I mean, I liked Ellard, but seriously? Check your stats; he's not in the same ballpark. Never mind DHop has the huge advantage in hands.
Boldin? Again, liked him, but no. I mean, at least the stat lines are comparable, but just take 1st down receptions; both have 695, but Boldin played another 4 years to hit that number? DHop is already there. DHop is the better athlete, more versatile, better hands.
Hines? Really good player, close in some of the stats, sure hands and tough as nails, so pretty similar in several respects. Probably should be in the HOF, in my book. Not the same athlete though.
Smith? Decent comparison, except he doesn't have the production over the same period of time.
not to mention that some of those guys were strictly boundary guys, while DHop can play from anywhere.
But again, who cares about your idea of what an HOFer is supposed to be?  |
No one cares who you think is a HOF'er either.
DHop was claimed to be a 1st ballot surefire HOF'er. I keep bringing up players who arguably have had better careers and are not in the HOF. DHop is not a 1st ballot HOF'er at this point. Claiming as much is just simply hyperbole. The 6-10 year idea you have that DHop will play is really wishful thinking, or not paying attention to father time, or just blatantly ignoring it. DHop won't play till he is 37-41 years old. His present track he is lucky to have 2 decent years of production left before it is noticeable of his decline. matter of a fact, his physical decline may already be showing it's ugly head. No wonder he wants a new contract for more money, more guaranteed money. I would to if it were my last pay day. Championship be damned.
Are you kidding me? How old are you that you you don't know who Stanley Morgan or Harold Jackson are? I thought you were older than me, at least. I can understand Shofner. But Morgan and Jackson? Come on. Boldin was beast. Period.
All of these guys are from a different era. Not quite the passing era so of course their numbers aren't going to be as inflated as todays players. Using simple yardage as a measure of success is dumb anyway.
