    Not a Patriots fan, but he'll always be my favorite Patriots player, because he represents the best of my favorite thing about the NFL: the player with a huge chip on his shoulder who, by dumb NFL standards, shouldn't be playing on his favorite position.

    Football and baseball are 2 vastly different sports. But I guess the question I have to ask is what are supposed to do in a losing situation? Quit? Ask for a trade? Be loyal? It's easy to say he's a Hall of Famer when the TEAM won. Calvin Johnson played for the Lions and as a Vikings fan, they've never been good (kinda like the Browns until recently). So what's more difficult, playing when there is "nothing" to play for on a losing team or playing for a winning team with something to play for?

    I thought Colin’s own criteria was “top 5 at your position for two contracts” and I don’t think Edelman is that.
    Still a great and clutch player who deserves a ton of respect, don’t get me wrong.

    For all the reasons you mention. He has had a great career and was always fun to watch. NFL fans were privileged to watch him. I hope he makes it in. It’s a shame we have to have this conversation now though. Can’t we just take a breath and celebrate a great player on a great career??? We can worry about the HOF talk later!!!

The way we see value and success can and should sometimes be different than stats, Pro-Bowls (which is debatably of no value), or All-pro. Name a WR that was more important to his team while winning 3 chips?? Not many on that list above Edelman. I don't know if he is worthy of the HOF but this case for it if he does get in.

    Absolutely Julian is. I don’t think the Pats win their last 3 without him. In the slot, you could not guard him. Sure, he may not be your typical WR 1, but he was tough, made plays in the biggest moments, and he is probably the best slot receiver I have ever seen. Isn’t that what a hall of fame player is?
