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.

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....
