Clubfoothead Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Is this some kind of referendum on Michael Irvin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) I say yes. If a blowhard like Irvin can get in, so should Smith. Edited May 12, 2006 by TDFFFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Should he? Probably. He's finished high in a lot of important category but has a good amount of active players right behind him who will push him down within the next 5 years, when he becomes eligible. So, he won't. When Tim Brown retired he was top 3 in receptions, TDs and yards so he's a first ballot lock IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I'm on the fence. Maybe. The guy has a ton of catches, but then again, had a pretty long career. What was that stat? More catches than any WR currently in the Hall? (Well, that will change soon...). But heck, if Art Monk is not in... Jimmy Smith? I voted yes, btw... thinking Monk will eventually get in, and Smith may slip in at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Pimp Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 He has the amount of catches, yards from a long career but he hasn't had enough outstanding individual seasons that really stand out. I said no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 chances are probably slightly less than 50/50 that he DOES get in. but i think he should. for a number of seasons he was as good as any WR in the league, even if he wasn't as flashy or as loud.

Whiskey Pimp Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 116 catches for 1636 yards doesn't do it for ya, huh? 1465108[/snapback] How many times did he go over 100 in a season? That's not enough for HOF. WR is the toughest position to get in at right now (saw some HOF VP guy or something on NFL last night say that).

Perchoutofwater Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Should he? I think he is really on the boarder line. I can't see him getting in before Monk, Irvin, or Reed. If those three get in, and there isn't another prominent WR that comes up for a while, he might get in. The more I think about it, the more I think he probably will not, or if he does, it will be 12-20 years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants56 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I voted no. Very good player, but not Hall of Fame level to me. But I wouldn't be outraged if he was put in either. He is close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
