he could always win a 3rd champ of course. with how good the patriots look this year it would be a good season for the giants to win again.

he's going in, no question. there's a reason a guy like joe namath, more or less the eli of his day, is in but guys like, idk, mcnabb or boomer esiason will never have a chance. dude's got two super bowls and will probably end up between 6th-8th in all-time passing TDs by the time he's done. probably won't deserve it though, unless he has an unexpected final act

it's funny looking at old football stats, such a different game. like namath threw 173 TDs and turned the ball over 243 times in his career and he's a legend

he'll get in due to manning halo effect and the super bowls, everyone will forget he was never a top 5 quarterback in any season of his career.

I love Eli because he helps illustrate that the modern version of this game is total bullshit

two rings as a QB def gets you there, but I'd like to see him sweat it for a year or two

i would guess eli is the worst qb to have 2 rings? he'll certainly be a test case whether or not that is automatic entry. barnwell gave him 40% chance to get in in a recent article.

either him or roethlisberger

Eli has had a better career than Plunkett, who also won two Superbowls.

eli's last couple seasons have been good, and the two seasons before his hilarious 2013 were almost as good. i think his cameron frye persona masks some of his skills and intangibles tbh.

Eli is in the Hall of Fame. The dude is Payton Manning's brother, won 2 Superbowls in New York and beat the Patriots in a couple of the most ridiculous ways possible.

NFL Hall is way more about the Fame than greatness, that's why they put in like a QB and WR and maybe put in a whole O-line every 20 years.

I've said it before, greatness in the NFL is a whole lot of luck. Tom Brady gets drafted by the Chiefs, he might have been great, but he wouldn't be Tom Brady you know now.

...that's why they put in a QB and WR nearly every year....
