You know who shouldn't be in the hall of fame? Eli manning
You don't get credit or excused for being injured, that is a detriment.
Smith isn't injury prone -- he's missed eight games in the last nine seasons, and quite a number of those weren't injury related (not excusing those, just saying). Just think it's worth acknowledging that he missed a great opportunity to put up more gaudy stats in 2004. Moose went for 93/1405/16 that year, after all, absurd numbers.
Also have to give some consideration to the type of offense being run. Arizona was pass, pass pass whereas the Panthers were always run focused under Fox. That cancels out any "edge" Smith gets from being the #1 target in Carolina's O.
And he's way more of a HOFer than Julius Peppers (in my opinion)
How the hell is it a negative for a Hall of Famer to be the number one option in his offense? It's an absurd premise
You guys are fucking delusional. Roddy White will have comparable stats to Smith by the time he's 36, and guess what? He ain't a HOFer either. You need to be a consistently elite ie top 2-3 at your position in the league for the better part of a decade to be in the HOF, not just a good starter for 12 years.
Smith had double digit TDs and more than 100 catches exactly once during his career. That doesn't cut it.
No way Smith is above Fitzgerald.
