depends why brady didn't play again...

if it's cause he chose to be an actor or go smoke with ricky williams than no...

if he had a career ending injury, then yes........

That logic doesn't make any sense to me.

Retirement is retirement.

The reason for the retirement shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Also... The rule of thumb for the Hall is...If you have to debate whether or not someone belongs, they don't.

Look at the history of HOF.....some people have been voted in even though their numbers may not have justified it, but because their careers were cut short due to injury......

Ok, I wasn't saying that you were wrong...I was just saying it shouldn't be that way.

It shouldn't matter why a player retires IMO.
