Good. He'll get in eventually, but he's riding those 2 SB wins. His stats just don't hold up, IMONo Hall of Fame for Eli this year.
Only two QBs have ever beaten Tom Brady in the Super Bowl and he did it twice. I agree that he's an eventual shoe-in but he was never gonna be a first ballot.Good. He'll get in eventually, but he's riding those 2 SB wins. His stats just don't hold up, IMO
What stats are deficient? He's #11 all time in both passing yards and passing touchdowns. Very few non-HOF players ahead of him in either category and plenty of HoF players below him. Couple that with 2 super bowls and I don't really see the case for not putting him in.Good. He'll get in eventually, but he's riding those 2 SB wins. His stats just don't hold up, IMO
Because it's the hall of QBs and RBs.Only two QBs have ever beaten Tom Brady in the Super Bowl and he did it twice. I agree that he's an eventual shoe-in but he was never gonna be a first ballot.
Vinatieri on the other hand, how on earth was he not an easy first ballot induction?
Everything that DickTrickle said above. Sure, he put up a lot of yards over a long career. But if he didn't ride that defense and some amazing luck to 2 SB wins, I think it would be even longer before he gets in. I just don't think a QB who throws for a lot of yards, but also comes with a ton of poor stats is an auto shoe in.What stats are deficient?
