sure i guess. the fact that a guy outside of miami on a tuesday ate a hotdog facing east while brady still playing is nuts see how it's corny

@@VeggieRice Whooooosh..........

I was more surprised Bill finally was in something for Edelman lol

@@VeggieRiceyour pic makes you look like a vampire, get a tan my dude

That just goes to show how much Brady loves and respects julian..he is a great friend to all in his circle

there's this randy moss guy that iirc brady was pretty close to him for the 4 seasons the pats were lucky enough to have him

Yea Juelz is definitely one of the hardest working WRS To ever play

@@VeggieRice Edelman > Moss imo

@@philipcurra3687you’re out of your mind

@@chrismarple hahah, thanks for the reply. This is the basis of where I get this: to win a Super Bowl, you need to be able to beat every type of team that shows up in the playoffs. And, there's always a team who can put pressure on the QB. So much for the WRs who are one dimensional and need tons of time for their plays to develop. Eventually, the Ravens or the Giants will show up and wreck everything. Enter Julian Edelman: double and even triple teamed all the time, and no one could stop him from getting open. I get that watching highlights of players like Moss and Julio Jones are way more impressive than watching Edelman standing by himself in a open space of grass and catching a ball thrown to his chest - but the fact that he's always standing there in open space is because he could beat any double or triple team and get open like that in like 2 seconds. I'd take him over Moss any day. And, I feel his trophies support me on that. (And, that's not even getting into how tough he was or what a leader he was. Come on, ask Raiders fans about Moss. How somehow who mailed in his own career for multiple seasons because of being disgruntled gets talked about in the same class as the likes of Jerry Rice is the mind blowing part to me.)

Sadly for Welker, He lost the superbowl in 2007, lost the superbowl in 2011, lost the superbowl in 2013, Went on to be a coach for the 49ers and lost the superbowl against the chiefs.... THIS MAN IS CURSED

Summed it up pretty well and the rest as we say, "Was History" Edelman should get the call to the Hall, his story is amazing and what he had to go through to get there is just amazing

@@sophx3004 nobody comes close to what Jim Kelly endured

Dola was clutch as heck also

💯👌

I was the only one of my group of friends who knew he caught it. They were all relieved it wasn't intercepted, and I was yelling and screaming and doing the referee catch signal yelling "he caught it!" lol.

Tough squirrel who would become fast friends with the fox, thirty one nuts and all.

When you make the playoffs every year. What do you expect.

@@santopanarello8316 Danny Amendola made the playoffs as well with him and so did Chris hogan and others who didn't have the eame level of impact or stats as Edelman

@@FreshPrinceOfBelA17 hogan and amendola played roughly 6 less games then Edelman. Their numbers would be close. It's close enough with their average yards that if your going to put Edelman on the list of best playoff receivers then both hogan and amendola would be put on the list

@@santopanarello8316 you can argue that but what you can't argue is Brady didn't win another superbowl in New England till Edelman was the guy. Hell the season he got hurt, they lost against Philly and next year they won against rams and he was mvp

@@FreshPrinceOfBelA17 on the Patriots. That's all. He was the Patriots best guy ..

Sanders told the team that he wasn going to accept the Steelers offer. He was offered a 3 yr 9 mill dollar deal that's when he signed with another team

Man, Sanders would have been such an amazing fit with Brady.

@@santopanarello8316 why would you accept 1 or 2 thirds the money to play in the cold, on a crappy turf field, for a militarily strict team? and at the time, remember this is 2010, the Pats hadn't won in 5 yrs, and the last time they'd gone to the SB in '07, well, let's just say it didn't end well. Steelers had that paper, and yknow what, he was young but maybe he already knew the grass field alone was worth going to pittsburgh if the money was the same, nvm better offer

Um, when Sanders was being considered, it was 2010. Edelman was picked up late in 2009 draft. first season he either didn't start or only made the field for, like, punt returns. so saying edelman staying when sanders was only ever a 'would be nice' that was never concrete is a stretch. at the time the sanders deal fell thru, edelman wasn't sh!t to belichik--that's literally covered in this football life episode.

This is one of the dumbest comments I've read in a long time.

your kidding right

#1 bro

Imagine if jules doesn't miss that superbowl against eagles even tho Tom threw for 503 yards smh WIN!!!

@@AmoreG94 Jerry Rice

What “league politics”? Teams want to win games and put butts in seats. They’re not gonna let “politics” stop that. Edelman, though a very good receiver, was never gonna get close to 1,500 yards because he was not talented or athletic enough to beat defenses that were solely focused on stopping him.

He definitely was athletic enough - it’s more so the scheme the patriots run. Try to recall ANY time tom Brady has given a receiver 1500 yards - maybe randy moss?

@@palereaper exactly his point dummy randy moss the biggest receiver he ever had and Brady had his best season the one year they had big body reciver

naw edelman just wasn’t elite like that 🤷🏾‍♂️ plenty of slot receivers put up those numbers, did you not see cooper kupp last yr ? Jarvis landry put up 1k yards out the slot for years, keenan allen, mike thomas, jaylen waddle is killing the slot down in miami, wes welker was dominant for a long time. Trust me there are no league politics stopping him from putting up those numbers he just couldn’t do it !!!

@creepshow do i have to watch him play every game to know that he didn’t have 1500 yard seasons? did you read the guy’s original post ???

Also Brandon Stokley!

no he won't lmao stop getting on the hype train you need at least decent stats to get into the hof and his career stats are horrible

@@cyborgeatsfood8028 Second most career Postseason receiving yards in NFL history. Fourth most career Postseason total yards. The Hall of Fame isn't about meaningless stats. It's about leaving an impact on the game. Without Edleman, the Patriots don't have three of their Super Bowls. He's the exact same as Lynn Swann and John Stallworth for the Steelers, and both of them are in the Hall of Fame.

@@SchrodingerMil he’s not a hall of famer.Welker yes eventually but Julien used PED and that can’t be denied

@@LanceG007 they all use PEDs, where TF have you been

@@cyborgeatsfood8028 your an idiot and obviously never watched this man play and his stats overall are good, especially playoff stats when it really count's, you want to laugh your ass off at somebody in the HOF who's stats are terrible, both regular season and especially the playoffs, that player is Joe "shitbag" Namath

Good comment. However, you need to edit the 2nd to last sentence where you said Welker has 3 SB rings and Welker was SB MVP.

Not hof

@@Big_Nick31 Why not? Fourth most Total Postseason Yards in NFL history, second most receiving, and the Patriots don't win 3 of their Super Bowls without him.

we can't find another edelman? there's a flexible, small fast slot receiver on the pats by name Jones right now! maybe look into teams outside of the northeast, you may learn slot receivers exist in the wild lol

@@VeggieRice he’s a cornerback

No he doesnt look at the stats not your feelings. I love the patriots and edelman but delusional if you think this. He had 3 1000 yard seasons only 36 receiving tds and as many playoff games as he played has 5 playoff tds. Explain without using your feelings why thats HOF worthy.

@@VeggieRice we know they exist you chowda head, what we're saying is finding one as good as Julian Edelman are few and far between

We found him, the social media know-it-all NFL head coach, talking like he was down on the field watching Edelman's whole career develope, LoL! Go back downstairs in your parents basement and watch speed racer and Gilligan's island

Said the same thing💀

He took it one year he was returning from an ACL tear. I don't blame him tbh, gotta do what you gotta do. Manning obviously took the hell out of them coming back and I don't blame him one bit. He never would have made it back.

Can't be elite if you don't win a popularity contest?

Everybody knows pro bowls mean nothing

@@SchrodingerMil no all pros either

@@freepeople091 Another popularity contest voted on by the media.

@@SchrodingerMil not really a popularity contest for wide receivers if you have the numbers ur gonna get in but that wasn’t the case with him

you saw that 28-3 comeback?

Second most postseason receiving yards

@@burtreynolds8030 he played for the patriots who were in the playoffs every year

That's why he played QB, Returner and even on Defense I guess

So Brady made all those clutch catches

Brady has no career or rings without all these players he’s had

@@JJA1987 Julian wouldve stayed on special teams had it not been for Tom

@@JJA1987 please it’s the patriots you really don’t think they would have found another way😂

How many Superbowl rings do those players have compared to Edelman ? Yes, right, exactly! That makes him elite

@@Gregory-sm9pfhe definitely was not elite. Elite players make everyone else around him better. He benefitted from Brady being elite.

@@drgreenthumb357 may not have been elite but he turned into an excellent slot receiver that gained Tom Brady's trust as one of his go to guy's like Gronk and he came up big in the playoffs and two Superbowls, one where he was MVP, that my friend is a pretty damn good resume, better than your average receiver, actually, alot better

Butler would have been the difference

@@stephanea5364 I dunno, Butler was legitimately the worst corner in football the following season for the Titans. He was a very on and off player.

@@ChokeslamToHell They needed ONE play on defense, and the idea he was bad with the Titans THE NEXT UEAR is irrelevant.

@@stephanea5364 yeah maybe, but clearly he did something wrong. I heard he missed the team plane to the SB and they played it off like he was sick and in the hospital for a day. McCourty even said “Malcolm knew what he did.”

Just like it hurt when you lost at the very end to Hofamer Mahomes and Chiefs, enjoy your one chip😏

Facts lol

You never watched the Patriots over a 16 game season. Now people are comparing other slot receivers to him whenever they make a clutch 3rd down catch.

@@Bk6346 no I wouldn't have to. Elite is undebatable. This is even close to a conversation. Wes Welker was twice this guy and even he wasn't elite

@@darkshinethakid4463 Steve Smith the NFL Network analyst and future Hall of Famer returned the volley with NBC Sports Boston's Michael Holley, saying that the Patriots star "has a PhD in route-running." "There’s no route he can’t run," Smith said. "He can run the easy routes, but he can run the intricate routes, the double moves. He really understands the concept, understands the whole philosophy of their offense, and that’s why he’s one of their key guys in their offense."

How many receivers have more catches in the playoffs? I can count using just my middle finger.

Tell that to the Falcons!

He's second in postseason receptions and TDs, only behind Rice, and he's a Super Bowl MVP.

@@NRF787 He was a good receiver who ended up with a team that was always in the playoffs, playing in a era where the rules are made to benefit QBs & WRs. His career stats aren’t very good for a “elite” receiver

@@EH-sx6do His career stats are excellent for someone who played QB in college. He was the go-to receiving option (I guess after Gronk) on the most dominant team in NFL history.

@creepshow Charlie??? Good player, played well in big games. Not elite

Really??

He never filled Wes shoes u right he was better he won three rings while Wes blew one for us with that missed catch

@@ketrelandrade4153 You seem to confuse team success and personal success. Eli Manning has got to be better than Peyton Manning or Drew Brees based on your logic...

@@TheMrNukeman I will say I think Edleman was tougher. He took some shots like in SB 49. Welker clealry was the better player, but him dropping that pass in SB 46 will always haunt him

He certainly was in the playoffs

Need to be a Patriots fan and watch all 16 regular season games to appreciate how good he was. FIRST DOWN BABY.

@@ryanadams2308 overall, that’s a small portion of his career and doesn’t make up for the fact that he averaged about 50 yards per game in the regular season.

@creepshow I watched him play plenty. I watched him average 50 yards per game and 11 yards per catch over his career. That is not elite

@creepshow a ton. The patriots were on prime time often and they were always in the playoffs so I saw them a ton even though I’m not from NE

I think the word your looking for is productive
