Brandon Marshall: On path to HoF?

[Cowboy Brian]

I was in a debate with a friend over this today. I said POSSIBLY if he is on a superbowl winning team or he stays at this level for a long time. He said he is almost there already.


Opinions?

It's tough for WR's to get in the HOF nowadays. Chris Carter just got in and this was his 5th or 6th time on the ballot...

 

[jrumann59]

nope, he can only get it done when he has QB willing to play backyard ball with him. He sucked in Miami, he sucked in denver after cutler left. No HoF for him faster version of Me-Shawn, malcontent that only one QB can handle.

 

[muck4doo]

Is Art Monk in? If not, there's your answer.

Art Monk is in. Marshall is not Monk though, I don't even think he'll be a HOF candidate.

I don't know if he'll make the HOF, but you have to admit that he played with JAGs in Denver (post Cutler) and Miami, yet still had 1000 yard seasons. He's had six straight 1000+ yard seasons while catching passes from at least 4 different QBs.

Least factual post ever?

 

[jrumann59]

He was on some pretty horrible teams, he was lucky to get back toa QB that like throwing to him and "got" him. If it wasn't for the fact he was re-united with Cutler, he would be David Boston, Roy Williams, his stats pretty much say I was on sorry teams and I still got stats because we had to chuck the ball 50 times a game because we sucked and were always losing.

Yeah pretty clear that you don't even actually bother to watch the games for follow the league. A statement like this shows just how little you've actually paid attention to the game.


That said I'm not sure that he's even close to the HoF career yet but his career isn't over so it's not even something he or any of his fans actually have to worry about yet.

 

[tyke1doe]

No, he won't make it in.

 

[muck4doo]

Art Monk is in. Marshall is not Monk though, I don't even think he'll be a HOF candidate.

I certainly stand corrected.

 

[landroverking]

I certainly stand corrected.

No. Now with regards to Monk. Never thought he should get in before Drew Pearson

Here is an article comparing 2012's WR finalists with stats for HOF WRs:


The three wide receivers under consideration for the Class of 2012 all have been Hall of Fame finalists multiple times. This year marks the sixth straight year that Andre Reed has been a finalist while Cris Carter is among the group of 17 finalists for the fifth consecutive year. Tim Brown, who also excelled as a kick return man, has been a finalist three straight times. All three players still rank among the top 10 career leaders in receptions.

===============================================

I'd say he need 400 more catches and 5-7000 more yards to be in the hunt. Four more years like the last would do it. He's actually been fairly consistent with 1000+ yds a year. 10K+ yds, 1k catches, and 100+ TDs will get him votes. He'll have some trouble getting enough votes IMO; if he gets the numbers.

BTW, check out Joiner's and Lofton's numbers and you'll see why they, Fouts and Winslow are in the HOF; it's also a testament to Coryell's offense. And he should be in the hall.

All those you listed had these numbers in in a run first, pass second. Many of the "modern" recievers that made it like Irvin, Carter, Rice would destroy the league with the rules today. Its easier to play WR in the NFL today than it was 10 years ago.

I agree. That's why the numbers have changed. It's taking bigger and bigger numbers.
