Eli is the definition of championship clutch. Not sure I really have a problem with that.
Rivers is a compiler. Stats are stats. Dude doesn't belong in the HoF. |

Plunkett isn't in the NFL HoF because he does not deserve Hall of Fame status. He's like the Trent Dilfer of Super Bowl QB's. |

Are they official candidates? Hadn't heard that...
I'd say the likelihood a guy who won Superbowls in New York and is named Manning has a good chance.... Rivers accomplished some things most guys don't, sure. Wouldn't he be the only QB to never appear in a SB in the hall? Don't know if he's got as much chance, unless of course his children are voting. |

Wonder how many SB's Rivers could have won with the NYG and some of those good defenses and players?

For some reason I don't have much problem with Rivers going in, but shudder at the thought of Matt Ryan going in. No clue why. Especially given that if Rivers was on Atlanta, they never would have made it to that one super bowl. Guess I need to reconsider.

Also don’t forget that the Chargers had one of the most talented rosters in the NFL during the first 5-6 years of his career as a starting QB. |

Rivers was literally so addicted to F-ing up games that he fumbled the snap on a kneel down.

Well, we are in the era of great stats and longevity = HOF
Eli won 2 rings and had a fairly solid career... not shocked at all and yes, he will get into the HOF. #8 career passing yards / #9 career TDs Fun oddity, 117/117 record. Rivers... yeah, no way to really defend it. Ranks higher than Eli on some stats rankings. And, has actually won more games with a 134-106 record and played 1 more season. |

Empty stats are just that, empty stats. The way I look at the QB position is like this. When the game is on the line, can he put the team on his back and win? Not just once or twice, but week in and week out. Rivers -- biggest choker in the NFL. Eli --the D won those SBs, he just put enough points on the board. Ryan -- bitch, please. Stafford -- maybe someday. Guys like Dawson, Montana, Unitas, Aikman, and Farve (just to name a few) are true HoFers.

The HOF is a pile of shit. It's a mandated 5 players in every year TV show and a game for money. That's it. There are not players worthy every year so they just let mother ****ers in on unworthy creds constantly. Terrell Davis maybe the worst. He had a great like 2 years and that's it and he stopped playing. How the hell does that stack up to other greats that played 5 times as long?
It doesn't and it's bullshit. |
