re: How long will it take Eli Manning to get into the HOF?

quote:

---

He made All-Pro 0 times. Neither first nor second team.

Based on the era he played, his yards don't matter.

His completion % is that of someone who played in the dead ball era TBH, the 1970's when passing was brutal. He has roughly the same completion % of Ken Stabler while playing in the pass-happy no defense allowed, can't touch the QB or WRs era.

He won a SB against supposedly the greatest offense of all-time in the 2007 Patriots because his defense held them to 14 points.

If the committee had any honor, they wouldn't let him in. But they'll wait about 5 years and then he'll get in.

Agree with all of that.

Being named to the pro-bowl did used to mean something, but that meaning ended probably 15-20 years ago. Being named All-Pro is a much better measure, because it means for QB, you were Top 2 (or Top 3 if maybe someone got shafted) at your position for at least that year.

Heck, even Mark Rypien was at least 2nd team All-Pro in '91. Eli Manning never had a single season where he played that much above his peers to be given that distinction.

He’ll be a first ballot hall of famer since they changed the voting rules
Under the new guidelines there will be 5 modern-era inductees selected in each of the next four years of annual voting

Older players and coaches that were normally in their vote will be moved into different pools now, meaning they won’t be taking away votes from the modern players

He also won’t have a packed class when it’s his time to be voted, I think Luke Kuechly and Adam Vinatieri are the only player that will be up for eligibility that year.

Namath was terrible stats wise. .he had a cannon though

Namath was a New York player with a New York personality. Plus, he had what is still probably the most significant victory in Super Bowl history. Add to that, he was the first to post 4,000 yards in a season. Namath was getting in no matter if he truly deserved it or not.

Guys, hes not getting in on the first ballot,just not happening. Go look at the first ballot hof list

Hopefully never. He has no business even sniffing the HOF

Should he get no?

No, not even close. He's behind Brady, Rodgers, Peyton, Brees, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Warner, Favre, Wilson in just his era/overlapping era's

I'm sure he will get in but it's undeserved

First QB ever to throw for 4000 yards in a season...... but IMO Griese is the one that puzzles me... sure he won two SB’S , but he was on some serious stacked teams. In his second SB game he only three 7 passes.... and the year before when the Dolphins went unbeaten he was out most of the year.......

He probably shouldn't be but he has some of the biggest highlights on the biggest stage.

He stopped an undefeated Patriots team. The Tyree play in SB 43 and the Manningham play in SB 46 are all time great Super Bowl plays.

That's why he'll get in because more people remember that stuff than him throwing a bunch of interceptions in the middle of some season they went 7-9.

You are stupid.....
