Is D.Clark HOF worthy?

[Mister Sin]

This guys announced his retirement today, making me wonder. Will he get the nod for that gold jacket? Was he that good? Or was Peyton making him that good? I for one, thinks he gets in, he had so many terrific years. I don't think he is first ballet, but I can see it happening down the road.

Good player but I voted no.

 

[-X-]

If he does, then they're really watering down the requirements.

 

[SierraRam]

Very good receiver? yes HOF? no

 

[TheDYVKX]

He was really really really overrated, he was never even better than Cook has been in his career so far. In fact, Cook to me is a better tight end than Clark ever was, and Cook isnt that great. Clark had one good year, and another good one. Thats it.

 

[MerlinJones]

As a fellow Iowa alum I'd like to say yes, but I don't think so.

 

[Mister Sin]

I look at him comparable to a guy like Jackie Smith. Smith played a few more years and had a couple thousand more yards, but, Clark had a double digit TD lead. That said, Smith didn't have Peyton....It's a tough call. But he is by no means a lock, and will need a weak class to get in.

Meh, they've been doing that.

 

[RamsSince1969]

I'm embarrassed, I said yes. Just a reflex action when I thought about his name being called 10 times a game or more. He was dependable and part of that great Colts run. HOF might be a stretch the more I think about it.

I clicked this thinking it was Dwight

 

[SierraRam]

Compare: Rec. Avg. TDs

Lynn Swann 336 16.3 51 HOF
Dwight Ckark 506 13.3 48
Cliff Branch 501 17.3 67
Henry Ellard 814 16.9 65 (QB's first 3 years: D. Brock, Jeff Kemp, washed-up Steve Bartkowski)

Branch and Ellard should be in. Clark - no

 

[Ramrasta]

No. I feel like Jason Witten is a better version of Dallas Clark. HOF players should be the best players of their time but I don't know that I have ever felt Clark was a top 10 player in the NFL at any point in his career. It's only the top of the top 10 that will be given such an honor.

 

[SierraRam]

How embarrassing! I was wondering why everyone was talking about TE's... Ellard and Branch still should go to the HOF bed time

Yeah he don't look very good in a tutu

 

[Mister Sin]

Yeah he don't look very good in a tutu

Shut your whore mouth Rich! Lol

 

[Mister Sin]

I didn't think it would be such a blow out. But even I was iffy on saying yes. Hell his career numbers are similar to Kellen Winslow. But I agree Witten has been better.

Clark had one good year, and another good one. Thats it.

Does that make TWO good years then?

Just wondering...

But I think that begs another question, do players sometimes shirt tail in ,cuz Witten doesn't make it IMO unless his QB does and Clark COULD BK of Manning.

So did I and I would say no to both.
