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.

If Troy Aikman can be in, go ahead and look at his numbers.

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

Yes. Not 1st ballot but he'll get in eventually.

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

Disagree here.

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.

FIFY, but he will probably get in because of his last name.

So you’re say if his name was “Eli Plunkett”, he doesn’t get in?

It's not exclusive in baseball either.
