If he wins a couple Super Bowls and plays until he's 36 or 37 and averages about 900 yards per season from now until then, he has a very good chance.
But that probably won't happen.

Most likely 49er HOFers on the team right now are Patrick Willis and maybe Frank Gore.
The rest either havent done enough, or havent played long enough yet.

Some could argue he isn't a top 5 TE now... And TE have it hard already to get in to HOF

I think he has the potential to make it, but he does need to produce more to get in. As others have said, he needs more yardage, plus more big impact playoff games/Super Bowls. The one big thing he has to his credit is tying the TD record for tight ends.

Why would he be? Name the records he holds, or the number of wins in his career, or championships? If Rodger Craig isn't in VD has no hope at all.

Yeah, not yet. He still has time to change that though, although a lot would have to go right for him.

Vernon is a space age guy who's got the size, strength and freakish speed. He'll be honored when he passes Brent up...
dude on a team that didnt use him as an extra lineman for for most of his career he wouldve broken everyones records by now. dude shoulda been the megatron of TE's but es either blocking or wide open and not getting anything thrown his way. hopefully kaep can get vernon some more shots to do damage next season because he really under utilized him since hes been the starter besides a couple games in the playoffs
People acting like walsh woulda used vern the same way as he is now. lol Even though i do prefer BJ's Hands over Verns.

i dont care what anyone says, in terms of raw talent, this guy is the best TE in the league, he is just unfortunate to be surrounded by a lot of talent and running favored offense.
