I doubt it, but he's got my vote. Who knows? Gayle Sayers made it and has nowhere near the requisite credentials.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Love Bru but no.

Hall of team first, lunch pail, do your job, make big plays in the most crucial of times.

^Unanimous first ballot.

Hall of fame? No, but what’s great about Bruschi is he is still celebrated by NE fans as if he was HOF. He really left us with a lasting impression and epitomizes what a really good football player should be. The gold standard to us.

Hall of Fame...not quite
Hall of Heart...absolutely

He is.

Even when (if?) they finally, belatedly put the Jewel in the Pats HOF, that committee is full of morons

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

I agree with 'no' but who cares ? For US he is MORE then that and we know it...

He gave ALL he had...all...and FOR US he is one of the best

Yes...another hall...hall of heart as mentioned

You mean, Julius Adams?

WTH does the Great Julius Adams have to do with my statement about Bruschi?
Even for your bizarro connect the dots (ahem) abilities that seems like a stretch

Just like, Julius Adams, right?

Tedy is justly recognized, while Julius remains not. Tedy's statistical resume is mentioned in this thread, and Adams' is as good, or better.

The PFHOF stupidly leaves out lots of worthy players including several Patriots, but the team HOF here is just as guilty and ignorant.

You know Julius was great, but how many other Patriots fans know? Thanks to Kraft, not nearly enough to get the attention of the dullard-filled Pats HOF committee.

Um, the subject was Bruschi and the NFL HoF...

Again, what has that got to do with my post you quoted??

He only has 2 2nd team All Pros. Bruschi was one of my favorite players as a kid. No chance he gets in the HOF.

Ty Law is struggling to get in the HOF. He's a finalist this year and has no chance of making it this year because Champ Bailey and Ed Reed are up this year for secondary players.

Right now of the Brady Belichick era the only true locks are

Brady
Belichick
Vinatieri
Moss
Gronk

Ty Law is someone who will likely wait awhile but probably get in.

Fans often underestimate how difficult it is to make the HOF

 

[archstanton543]

Bruschi is my all-time favorite Pats player.

Is he a Canton-worthy player? No. Borderline, maybe...but at the end of the day...no.

Absolutely nothing, if you feel your accurate and classy response applies to no one other than Tedy

Tedy was a key cog in three titles here. Will he ever be considered for Canton?

Tedy Bruschi

I think he should be a HOFer. I know the stats won't support him, but anyone who actually watches the games has to admit he was a coach on the field of that defense. And as the great Bill Belichick says "he was the perfect player". I agree with Bill here. There are more important things than stats and Tedy is the epitome of that.

I think the hall of fame is too dependent on numbers. They should matter to an extent. But so should the quality of teammate, & person a player was. Bruschi was the heart & soul of a 3x SB dynasty.
