mean as much as other positions when 25 %of starting QBs make the pro bowl in a given year. Like I said, Romo and Carr got to the pro bowl in about half their seasons as a starter as well.

Any chance the Colts trade up to get Wilson? I'd love that.

I read he’s got a standing offer to be a high school coach. He will probably do that.

True to an extent, but its a QB-driven league.

Yeah, it was horrible when he had a hof RB and TE. Philip Rivers was in the team

HOF

Do you get the HOF because you played a long time??

Phreddy

1/20/21 8:59am

No, but top 5 or 10 in a bunch of statistical categories at retirement helps

krindorr

1/20/21 9:03am

Agreed. And he is a really likeable guy apparently

Other than accumulate stats because he played a long time, what can you point to

And I could find a stat that would put these other guys close to or ahead of

So he's a HOFer based on what the HOF is, but not what you'd wish it would be?

Right. The problem I have is certain positions and certain teams are over
