He's got numbers for sure, but WR numbers are so skewed

Posted by: dubord.s on Aug 21, 21:48 in response to TJNFL1's post 9th all time in receptions, 14th all time in receiving...

We've been stuck in this debate on HOF WRs, with 'very good' receivers amassing tons of stats over the course of long careers. Tim Brown and Andre Reed were just the top of that group. We still have T.O. Isaac Bruce, Hines Ward, Tory Holt, and Ocho Cinco all on the ballot. I don't see Boldin as a better WR than those guys, other than he did it for a long time.

Is WR Anquan Boldin a first ballot Hall of Famer? 202 games, 1,076 receptions, 13,779 yards, 82 Touchdowns. TJNFL1 Aug 21, 13:16

Not in my book. dubord.s Aug 21, 13:31

9th all time in receptions, 14th all time in receiving yards, 23rd all time in receiving touchdowns. TJNFL1 Aug 21, 14:40

List of players already in the NFL Hall of Fame with lower statistical totals..... TJNFL1 Aug 24, 23:13

AGAIN - the numbers are totally skewed, so comparing his stats to guys in the 70s is idiotic. {nm} dubord.s Aug 25, 07:29

Michael Irvin played in the 70's? {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 25, 09:57

Nope. But he was a much better WR than Boldin was at any point in his career. dubord.s Aug 25, 10:29

Hope your not just saying that because of the rings. Yes, Irvin was on a better team. TJNFL1 Aug 25, 22:45

Nope. Saying that because he was the best WR on great teams. dubord.s Aug 26, 22:30

Difference between Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin is marginal. TJNFL1 Aug 28, 02:10

Boldin racked up those stats thanks to being a WR2 while Fitz got double teams. dubord.s Aug 28, 11:05

Thanks. Read your information, and agree. Although Smith and Witten probably helped Irvin some, Bolden did see a lot of linebackers. TJNFL1 Aug 29, 01:06

Between those two, I think Moss 1st. More impactful/notoriety as 'uncoverable'. But both probably get in. dubord.s Aug 29, 09:46

If voters can overlook the Moss end zone "pulling down of the pants", and the Owens spitting in opponents face, then agree. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 29, 13:24

The 'Mooning' was stupid, but who cares (and I'm a Packers fan). T.O.'s spike on the star was more of an issue. {nm} dubord.s Aug 30, 09:10

Did that offend anyone other than Cowboys fans? {nm} TJNFL1 Sep 01, 00:49
