Roddy White gets consideration for Pro Football HoF...but Colston doesn't (1 Viewer)

[Cage1]

Of course, the HOF has some history with letting some receivers in for some reason.

• Andre Reed took 9 years to get in
• Sterling Sharpe isn't in
• Torry Holt still isn't in

Yeah, if Torry Holt isn't in, then Colston and Roddy can both just get comfortable.

Roddy isn't getting in anytime soon if ever. Colston just won't. Both were good to great for their teams and possibly will get honerd with a team HOF award BUT the Football HOF I just don't see.

 

[Madmarsha]

White never shut up. Colston never opened his mouth. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Yeah it’s a silly discussion. Neither is going to get in and neither deserves to be in - so who cares who gets mentioned somewhere or another.

Unfortunately he played in an era where people believed that his success is largely due to Brees. For the longest time the narrative was that Drew Brees was throwing to a bunch of no name receivers while putting up godly stats.

White is a 2021 HoF nominee.

 

[woohoosaint]

Should have.

But it didn't.

Colston had a lot of really good seasons. But he didn’t have those elite seasons. He barely cracked 1200 yards once. Roddy had 1200 five times. And 1300 three times.

Joe Horn had those type of seasons and really Joe Horn would get in the HOF before Colston. But I don’t think either of them will. I don’t think Roddy will anytime soon either.

 

[Saint Kamara]

Colston 9 more TDs is significant and certainly makes up the difference that White holds in the other categories.

I'd consider these 2 a draw and favor Colston because he was a huge part of why we won a ring.

 

[TheRealJRad]

Don’t know what White has done to deserve any real consideration to begin with.

 

[Taker597]

Still sad Colston is so close to the 10,000 yard club.

 

[TheGooch]

This sums up Colston perfectly:

 

[Gentilly504]

To be fair. Roddy nor Colston should be in the hall of fame.

White had more than 140 targets in all those seasons to get those numbers. Most of them he got 170+ targets.

Colston cracked 140 targets only once in his career.

Can't ding Colston for being more efficient. Though neither will ever get in.
