It's pretty easy for any asshat these days to meet those standards, so the NFL HOF is going to have to start being choosy. Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, and Matt Stafford all have HOF career numbers, but you're going to put all three of those guys in the hall? You start doing that and pretty soon you won't have room for any of the other legendary players at other positions.
You keep going down this path and it becomes a slippery slope to putting Kirk Cousins, Ryan Tannehill, Derek Carr, and Cam Newton in the hall, too.
It's gotta stop at some point. Draw the line and mark it clearly for ****'s sake.

I agree 100%, but then again, I hate QBs not named Mahomes or Dawson. As mentioned in a previous post, yards and TDs that come in garbage time are just that - garbage. What did the guy do for his team? Rivers choked way too many times and Eli seldom had to put the team on his back.
