Eli isn't a guaranteed HOFer right now. Slow you're roll


You do realize there is only one case of a qb winning 2 superbowls and not getting in the hall.

There has never been a 2 time super bowl MVP kept out of the hall of fame.

ETA: he won vs the most consistent winningest team, patriots, in the salary cap era. Also in the biggest underdog role ever delivered a clutch last minute drive to beat the undefeated patriots.

He's getting in

It's Jim Plunkett, who admittedly has worse numbers than Eli. That being said, the ONLY current SB-winning HOF QB with a more average career is Terry Bradshaw and he won twice as many titles.

Eli playing in the era he is in will also hurt him. Sure, he threw more TDs than a guy like Bob Griese but compared to his peers and the passing nature of the game his numbers are less than pedestrian. I mean, is a guy bested by the likes of Tony Romo and Philip Rivers in his own era worthy of the HOF just because his great pass rush beat Tom Brady twice?
