I liked those Jaguar teams, and liked Keenan McCardell. But he really was never one of the 5 best WR’s in the league. He was probably never even a top-10 WR. He only made 2 Pro Bowls.

He was probably never the best WR on his team. Except maybe in 2003 he was the best on Tampa Bay, and maybe in 2005 he was the best Charger, if you don’t count Antonio Gates.

He was a very good receiver, who compiled nice stats in a passing-friendly era. He was also one of the few WR to put up a 10+ AV season age 35 or older.

I don’t know about that. I think you have to have to look at the context of those numbers, as well. Every one these other recievers was the focal point of their passing attack, whilst McCardell was clearly the second option for most of his time with the Jaguars. As for the comparison to Rod Smith, McCardell never had John Elway throwing him the ball (not that Mark Brunell was bad, but he’s not John Elway). When one takes into account those factors, I think McCardell ought to be considered, though not inducted (at least not for some time).
