No. Had two unbelievable playoff runs to Super Bowl wins, but that is it. He really never did anything else over his career. No other playoff wins.

If the criteria is just to win a few Super Bowls, then I guess maybe.

Eventually. Currently ranked top 10 all time for passing TDs, two Super Bowls & MVP, so only a matter of time imo.

He will make it. Does he belong there is the real question.

2 super bowl rings as QB/Manning as a last name = HOF

He won't be first ballot but he's in

No, but they have let in similar Eli Manning type players in the past so he probably will.

I think he will get in, but only because the HOF has been diluted already

Doesn’t matter what any of us think. He’s getting in, and we all know it.

This isn’t baseball. He’s equally or more deserving than several QBs in there IMO. The HoF isn’t that exclusive if we’re being honest.

He’ll get in after a few ballots.

Agree that he will make it and that it's kind of a close call.

Here's what put's him in for me: two Super Bowls over the New England Patriots while being coached by Tom Coughlin.

Without Eli, Brady & Belichick are 8-1 in Super Bowls.


Edit to correct tha' facts.

Without a doubt. He always upped his game come playoff time. He was a winner. Yeah he may be .500 as a starter in the regular season..... but he balled in the playoffs. When you add in that he was a great leader and a team player (as seen by how he reacted when benched), he should be a shoe in. What other qb completes that throw to Tyree in the Super Bowl? Nobody.

Of course. The two Super Bowl victories and MVPs gets him, deservedly, into the Hall.

His front office has done him no favors the past six or so years.

Does he deserve it? No

Does he get in? Yes

He most likely makes it but I find it hard to justify since he wasn't even a top 5 qb in his era and many years he was outside the top 10
