Is Brian Westbrook's Career Over?

Westbrook has suffered two concussions this season, and within about a few weeks of each other. Westbrook is 30 years old. As LT has shown us this year, Westbrook is not only on the decline to not produce as well anyway, but the dude is risking his life if he steps onto the football field again. Westbrook was cleared to play after he suffered one concussion, and then suffered another. It doesn't take a med student to realize that Westbrook has probably done a shit ton of damage to his body already over the course of playing football, nevertheless compounding two concussion on top of that, Westbrook should, and probably is, considering retirement.

So if he does retire, is he a hall of famer? Dude has always been good when he played, but when you combine that he played on a team that always seemed to pass 60% of the time and Westbrook's career was riddled with injuries, does he deserve to go into Canton? Well, let's take a look at his numbers.

In 7.5 seasons (all with the Eagles), Westbrook is a two time pro bowler and started once. He has 37 career TDs and a 4.6 career YPC. But Westbrook was always a part of the passing game as well with 29 receiving TDs and a 9.0 YPR.

Unfortunately, Westbrook has never really been THAT good at anything. He ranks 88th in rushing/receiving TDs, 119th in rushing TDs, 57th in YPC, 79th in YPG, 160th in receptions, and 81st in total yards from scrimmage. He's always been one of the best RBs when he's played, but never completing 16 games in a season will tend to show up in your career numbers. The fact that he keeps getting drafted in the first round every year in fantasy football league shows you just how good of a talent he is and how much people believe in him and believe that he can do well over a 16 game season. But unfortunately, that's not a very good metric to get into Canton.

So is Westbrook a HOFer? I think he barely gets into the Hall of Very Good, but I wish him all of the best of luck in his future.
