I'm still mad the speculation of trading him to Carolina mid-season never panned out. Mayhew might have saved his job if he pulled the trigger on that one, assuming there was a trigger to pull.

Since now it's basically confirmed I'll ask again: Is Megatron a HoFer?

He didn't play quite long enough to end up at the top of receiving lists, he does have a few records to his name but the hall is severely backed up already. he had a few seasons being considered the best in the league but I'm really unsure if he has quite enough to get in. Certainly not first ballot.

Nine years...Five Pro Bowl nods and three All-Pro nominations at wide receiver? Probably not. If he were to play for a couple more years and put up numbers like he did this year he'd more than likely be in.

Did people decide that he has surpassed Gonzalez? Because that's a tough bar to pass in terms of longevity and production.

Speaking of perseverance in the face of one's team never going anywhere...

He's already like, 3rd in TDs from a TE. Gonzo is stuck at 111, Gates has like 104 and is on his last legs, and Gronk is like 28. He's going to demolish that record.

Gronk is going to be 27 going into next season (currently 26) but he's also catching passes from Brady compared to whatever the hell the Chiefs had, I guess like Trent Green some some chaff

Gates at least had Flutie, Brees and Rivers

ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
Gronk won't have Brady forever. Assuming he is going to hit the wall like most QBs, Gronk will probably have 2-3 seasons of Brady left and then go into his 30s with whoever.

He will need to play into his mid-30s to reach Gonzales level stats. No question though, Gronk is a better TE than Gonzales.

Antonio Brown probably breaks it this year if he has a healthy Ben all season.

Passing/Receiving records have started to lose some value with how the league has changed, the record isn't as impressive as it would have been years ago

I'm not saying he's not a HoFer, but his case isn't that rock solid

Josh Gordon drat near did that in 2013 only playing 14 games while receiving passes from Brian Hoyer, Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell.



Megatron is awesome but he doesn't have the longevity, which sucks for him. There really is a logjam of great wide receivers trying to get in.

And the receiver logjam is only going to get worse over the next few years.

Chad Johnson kinda made his own bed. Yeah he was stuck on some bad Bengals teams, but he was traded to a Super Bowl team and was too dumb to pick up the offense. Then he got another chance in Miami and got himself arrested.
