Fitz plays bigger than he is and faster than he is. He really gives you everything, despite being less physically gifted than the other 2. Watching him in 2008, felt like watching Jerry Rice.
Based on your description , AJ sounds like a guy who will make the Hall of Very Good. A rich man's Brandon Marshall. I look forward to him vs Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson this season .
Umm, ok. I'm sure Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson would love to be desribed that way by the time they're 31.
After loudly whiffing on the top 100 (I still call BS) - my opinion is worth squat. But I think he's going to have a hard time getting into the HoF. If Cris Carter can't get in... What puts AJ above him? A big, Fitzgerald-like postseason, culminating in a championship? That could do it. But hit by a bus tomorrow? I don't think he'd get in. He's definitely behind Moss and Owens; he's probably behind, or no better a candidate, than Harrison and Holt; I think he's behind Fitzgerald; barring injury and unexpected career derailment, he'll be behind Megatron... And I don't know if he's appreciably better than Smith, Wayne - heck, you know the fat, lazy sportswriter is going to be ALL OVER little Wesley Welker.
If that description says "not hall of fame worthy" to you, then uhh... ok. More power to you. I look forward to Fitzgerald's hall of fame induction ceremony in 3 years.
I'm not ignoring the context of the whole message. Right RIGHT now, Andre might be a little above Sterling Sharpe who isnt in the Hall. Though if Wes Welker gets HOF cred over Andre (and I wouldnt put it past some writers) thatd just be absurd. If Fitzgerald is 83% likely, Andre is like 81.5, almost a toss-up. Fitz with the TDs, health and playoff performances edge. (Harrison is in)
