My balls itch.
Anyway...
I think his reporting is as solid as I’ve seen for a beatwriter.
AB, Moss, we've seen it all here. A freaking helmet, we were talking about a freaking helmet for a month.
Adams not showing up, was signal enough for AP to lay the wood down and fine his a$$. You lose the team when some one gets special treatment. I wonder if Coughlin or Lewis or any of the experience suggested punishing Adams at all? Thankfully we have Crosby.
IMO he needs a bunch more good years or at least one or two more great ones to do it. WR is a tough crowd in the HOF these days. Right now he's in the Ocho Cinco zone to me - some good, a short time of elite. But he also had the advantage of playing with a great QB in GB. I think his one year of all-pro with Carr actually helps his chances somewhat because it proves he could do it without Rodgers.
Not an important question, just bye week musings.
3x first team All pro
6 times pro bowl
2x TD leader
I don’t think there’s an active receiver that matches those accolades and when you compare him to his receiver class, the only guy that’s better is Antonio brown, in my opinion.
There's just so much passing in the game today that it's tough to get in. Adams has to get back to elite level to make it happen IMO - fading to "good" now probably won't be enough. Numbers matter for WRs and his numbers are "hall of very good" level.
It seemed like Adams game would age well - somewhat similar to a guy like Larry Fitzgerald who was putting up 1000 yards into his mid 30s. This year though kind of looks a little like Adams decline may be faster than originally thought.

Hondo did improve after that, but it's impossible to forget that moment. Hondo loves home cooking.

He will make the Hall. I don't think he's done enough, but 'they' will put him in.chucker wrote Fri Nov 08, 2024 2:49 pm:Aside from the diva talk. There have been a lot of references by some people over the past couple years (not so much this year) that Adams is a HOFer. I've always felt he needed more elite years to get there and he's no spring chicken. What do people think of his HOF chances?

Ochocinco is 2x first team and 1x 2nd team all pro, 6 pro bowls, and hasn't sniffed the HOF and probably won't. Both guys with 11 years. Torry Holt has way more yards, fewer TDs in 11 years.NoClapsPlease wrote Fri Nov 08, 2024 4:19 pm:I can’t go as far as to say he’s not HOF

A lot of it for Adams probably just comes down to longevity. Seems like HOF really leans heavily on all time stats. If Adams can play another 4 years even putting up production at 50% of his peak numbers - he’s likely top 10-15 all time in receptions, yards and TDs.chucker wrote Fri Nov 08, 2024 6:01 pm:Ochocinco is 2x first team and 1x 2nd team all pro, 6 pro bowls, and hasn't sniffed the HOF and probably won't.
