so is he going into the HoF?

as much as I'd like to say his career was way too mediocre to make it, I think his ability to stay on the field throughout his career will bump his numbers enough to get him in.

thoughts?

There's only 26 QB in the HOF.
His 2 SB wins may help, but some of the other QB have zero SB victories. (Marino, Moon, Kelly, Tarnkenton, and the pre-SB era QB.)

Eli has over 57K passing yards. HOF'r Kurt Warner only has 32K.

:noidea: Maybe he gets in.

Mark Sanchez beat Tom Brady 3 times. So I guess Mark Sanchez is a HOF based on that.

I don't often remember Eli being considered in the top ten of QBs in any particular year during his career but then he won 2 Super Bowls. I don't think he should make the cut.

I think I've looked this up in the past, and he generally hovered around the 8-12 range each season (using QBR). I could be off, though. It's been a couple years if I have

Prototypical compiler, playing in the golden age of the forward pass, nothing more.

I think he belongs in the Hall of Good but I think enough people push for him to make it. He had two magical SB runs because of elite DLs and good running games.

he is a HOFer… Pretty easily

3 biggest reasons why

1. longevity
2. more than 1 SB
3. played whole career with one team

After he threw a tantrum when San Diego drafted him.
That may sour some people.
Although Elway did the same juvenile nonsense & he's in.

If longevity and one team your whole career are 2 of your top 3 reasons for HOF entry..definitive proof that he ain't worthy

does it?? I don't think anyone even cares about that... not even charger fans, as they are the rare breed that believes Rivers is better than Manning anyway...
