Do you think Jimmy Smith will go to the Hall of Fame?

Jimmy's off the field issues and playing in a small market will obviously hurt his chances but I think he will ultimately get in on the basis of his stats.

Jimmy was a really good player for us.  I have a lot of good memories and enjoyed watching him play the game.

Hall of Fame enshrines exceptional figures in the sport of professional football, including players, coaches, franchise owners, and front-office personnel, almost all of whom made their primary contributions to the game in the National Football League.  It is not just stats.

Bo is being inducted this year. He was exceptional when he played, there have not been many tackles like him. The shortness of his career was the only negative. I have to believe that Tony's recent broadcasting career has helped him.

Is Jimmy exceptional ? Not good, not great, exceptional.  It is not what we think, it is how the process and people running it think.  He could get in but it is a long shot as this string has named more than a few receivers that have similar career stats.

there's quite a few in the hall that would cause me to contest this assertion.
That's probably a discussion for another thread, though.
