Re: Is Terrell Davis a HOFer?
No, this isn't the baseball HOF. Peak, dominance over peers, individual awards, etc take precedence over counting stats.

Art Monk, Jimmy Williams, etc. I mean, he'll have a chance but he was never really considered the dominant player.

Re: Is Terrell Davis a HOFer?
Re: Bruce
If he continues to put up ~70/~1000 for a few more years, he might have a shot because his career numbers will be so good. But football players don't go through gradual declines like baseball players - many of them just drop off completely. Bruce could easily be terrible this year and out of the league in 2008. Edit: Look at Tim Brown 2002 (35yo): 81 - 930 - 2 2003 (36): 52 - 567 - 2 2004 (37): 24 - 200 - 1 Jerry Rice 2002 (40yo): 92 - 1211 - 7 (ridiculous) 2003 (41): 63 - 869 - 2 2004 (42): 5 - 67 - 0 2005 (43): 25 - 362 - 3 Bruce will be 35 this year. |

Edited for Jimmy Smith
Monk: 940 - 12721 - 68 Bruce: 887 - 13376 - 80 Smith: 862 - 12287 - 67 So if Bruce goes through a similar decline as Tim Brown, he should end up with 1,000 catches and 15,000 yards. |

Re: Is Terrell Davis a HOFer?
Even more off-topic, but look at Torry Holt. People don't talk about him like this, but he's eight years into a HOF career. Another two or three 1300yd/10td years and the numbers will be too good for him not to get in.

Re: Is Terrell Davis a HOFer?
I think that Torry Holt is gonna get in when his career is over. He is/was a truly great receiver.

Re: Is Terrell Davis a HOFer?
If you put in Bruce, you've got to consider a whole bunch of 1980-current WRs.
If you put Ike in, then who else do you put in? Rod Smith? KeyShawn Johnson? Andre Reed? Irving Fryar? Henry Ellard? Keenan McCardell? Jimmy Smith? Terrell Owens? Randy Moss? Andre Rison? Art Monk? Eric Moulds? Joey Galloway? Tory Holt? Stanley Morgan? All of these guys are top 30 in career rec yardage. Add in the other guys that have already made the HoF or are locks: Rice, Harrison, Lofton, Carter. At some point you have to ask yourself where the line is going to be drawn. They can't all be HoFers. |
