Good post, i agree. Also take my opinion with a grain of salt, I'm a Bears fan, so I'm supposed to hate Favre.

semi-serious question: eli manning = HOFer?
1) does he deserve enshrinement2) will he be enshrined

hear that every time I see his face
it would purely be for the 2 super bowl wins, he really has nothing else on his resume and if pass stats continue to trend upwards that's be even more the case by the time his eligibility rolls around. phil simms prob has a more reasonable claim to the HOF and he probably isn't getting in either.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 2 November 2015 21:54 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 2 November 2015 21:56 (eight years ago) link
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
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 3 November 2015 03:47 (eight years ago) link
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
― chicken lit (rip van wanko), Saturday, 27 August 2016 17:12 (seven years ago) link
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.
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 27 August 2016 17:18 (seven years ago) link
either him or roethlisberger

Eli has had a better career than Plunkett, who also won two Superbowls.
― earlnash, Saturday, 27 August 2016 17:34 (seven years ago) link
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.
― nomar, Saturday, 27 August 2016 17:37 (seven years ago) link
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....
