Top 20.

Another great wide receiver on a team that just wasn't as good as the competition. Look at the names in the OP, Jimmy Smith, Chad Johnson, Steve Largent, Derrick Mason, Cris Carter. But their teams just couldn't get over that hump.

Why is it so hard for wide receivers to make the hof?
:dahell:

You'll see the following themes re-emerge
- Their attitudes
- Lack of TD's
- playing along side an equally HOF worthy reciever
- playing with shytty QB's
- the claim they just happened to be in the right offense
- not being as good as the other WR's who played around the same time
- not stacking up to former inductees
- HOF voters not wanting to vote them in on their first year of eligibility ( fakkit ass baseball type voting)

Can you really rate him top 20, when he's top 15 in yards and top 10 in catches?

I'd rate him top 15....I might be able to name 10 that are better but 15 would be tough. As far as HOF tho I don't see him getting in, or maybe as a late entry after years of waiting if anything. They stingy as hell with WR's for whatever reason. Murder Marv wasn't voted in first ballot and I would bet good money that TO won't be either and those are 2 u clearly have to rank above Andre. If those 2 have to wait years to get in how long will Andre have to wait? I want to see him make it tho always been a fan :yeshrug:

If they don't like you, then they'll ignore your greatness.

For example, in the top 100 players of all time list they left T.O off it completely. Now you and I both know T.O is at least a top 5 receiver of all time.

They put Randy Moss really high, like in the 60's or some shyt, and we both know Moss is arguably the 2nd best receiver of all time, and probably 1st in terms of talent.

So they'll get real petty if they don't like you.:ld:

In 2009 when Matt Schaub threw for 29 TDs, Andre Johnson caught 9 of them.

The rest went to:

Jacoby Jones (WR) - 6
Owen Daniels (TE) - 5
Steve Slaton (RB) - 4
Kevin Walter (WR) - 2
Joel Dreessen (TE) - 1
Vonta Leach (FB) - 1
Ryan Moats (RB) - 1

12 TD's went to RB and TE.

"Only 12? :gladbron:" - every KC receiver

Lynn Swann?

you place the guy who's #209 on the all time receiving yards list... above the guy who's #12?
Postseason performances count towards greatness. Maybe Swann was a bad example but he's remembered for his plays in the playoffs.

And because he was a smile-all-the-time Republican Party black man for ABC sports.

Pretty much.

Andre might not even get in the HOF in his first few years of eligibility. He might end up like Art Monk.
