He's had an almost, but just not quite there to be a HOFer type of career. Captain Falcon and youngbloodz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
athell 30,434 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 He won't get in, but I am so proud of him that his name is even included. I am smiling as I type this. Just didn't do enough to break in. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/hof/hofm_WR.htm PokerSteve and VTCrunkler 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SipDirtyBird84 184 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Great Wideout! Would love to see him make it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Long Shot 3,757 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 1 hour ago, boss said: R.W is no where close to being a H.O.F player Had his career gotten off to a faster start and had his game deteriorated a couple of seasons later on in his career he would have been. Roddy at his peak was an underrated super stud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dem Birds 10,424 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 1 hour ago, boss said: R.W is no where close to being a H.O.F player I think he certainly is, the problem is the log jam at receiver. Even this first year of eligibility includes Calvin Johnson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconFanSince1970 24,097 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I think he needed one or two more productive years to get in the Hall. Got Shannied. He was definitely an as beatin Falcon WR though. Roddy, Julio, Rison, Mathis and Jenkins. falconfreak1 and Vandy 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

youngbloodz 15,485 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Roddy is probably my all time favorite Falcon. Hated the Saints just as much as the fans did Quote Link to post Share on other sites
etherdome 6,232 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 We all love him, but he is not getting into the HOF. For WR to make it, he has to be considered the top WR of his generation. Roddy was terrific, but he was not at that level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RetroRoq 350 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 While we are here, other Falcons that are on this year's list of modern player era nominated for HOF: RB: Warrick Dunn, Steven Jackson DL: John Abraham LB: Cornelius Bennett, Clay Matthews Jr DB: Assante Samuel Special Teams : Eric Metcalf, Allen Rossum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhenFalconsWin 27,930 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Years ago I used to argue with a swamper that Roddy was a HOFer and they would tell me Colston was better. Looks like vindication for WFW. It will happen trust me, not a first ballot but Roddy will make it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
