Just asking, why are these 2 not HOFers?

92. Anquan Boldin

Retiring from the National Football League early so that he could devote more time to his humanitarian efforts, Anquan Boldin would secure seven seasons where he had four digits in Receiving Yards. Boldin was an explosive force on the gridiron, making an immediate impact in his rookie year fin...

1. Steve Smith

There should be no question that Steve Smith is the greatest Wide Receiver in Carolina Panther history, and as of this writing is the best Panther period. Like many Wide Receivers, Steve Smith was used as a returner early in his career, and as a rookie, he was a First Team All-Pro leading the...

I mean they have a gripe, but they're not front of the line either.

Reggie Wayne and Torry Holt deserve to be in before these two do. They're not in either. Holt's come up short 9 times.
I'd also put Andre Johnson in before these two. He's not been on the ballot long though.

Again, there are guys with better stats than Smith who either aren't in or took a long time to get in.
Isaac Bruce is pretty close to the perfect comp for SSS. Very comparable stat lines across their career. Bruce got in, but it took him I believe 6 years to do it. Smith's only been on the ballot for one or two years I believe.
 

Tom Brady retired from the NFL after 23 seasons.​

Brady in a video statement acknowledged his 2022 agonizing back-and-forth on whether to leave the game and said there would be none of that this time around. Brady, 45, leaves the NFL as the greatest quarterback to ever play, with seven Super Bowls -- six with the Patriots and one with the Bucs. He leaves the league with a plethora of records, including passing touchdowns, passing yards, completions, division titles, wins, and quarterback starts. He is the only player in league history to beat all 32 teams, and owns nearly every postseason quarterback record. Brady ended his otherwise spectacular career with two disappointing seasons in Tampa; his final NFL game was a blowout loss to the Cowboys at home. Though he hasn't lost much as a passer, Brady's willingness to stand in and absorb a hit had completely vanished by his age-45 season, affecting how he operated in the pocket and delivered difficult throws. As fiery a competitor as there will ever be in any sport, Brady played long enough to become a living legend on the field -- an almost mythical presence for opponents who were not born when Brady took over the starting job in New England in 2000. Without Brady, the Bucs will likely shift into rebuild mode for the coming years, perhaps parting with some of their key players as the organization seeks draft capital.

That loud noise you hear is the Raiders and 49ers knowing they can't sign Tom Brady next month.

Come on down, Mike Evans!
 
in the chance we field calls for Lamar (which im sure edc is doing regardless of any situation(
it really benefits us that the worst qb situations are all in the nfc south, they are essentially bidding against one another for who gets to win that division for the next decade. and it keeps Lamar out of our conference. and the small market teams in higher concentrations of African American populations get a superstar player that many in the community will take an extra kindness too.

that certainty helps us out

I have two layovers at Heathrow in February. Am I two early for a premiere league game? I always wanted to check out a legitimate soccer game.

Absolutely not

Starts in august and ends in June

Unlike the nfl, the offseason is only a couple of months

It completely depends on how long the layovers are but February is a great time of year if you wanna watch football in england
