He's never done anything in the playoffs but has been a regular season monster and is putting together another huge year.
Thoughts?
This is a very common refrain
There are a few things to remember, with this case.
1) You don't need a Super Bowl to be in the HOF. You don't even have to reach ones. The HOF isn't just limited to the All Time Best of the Best.
2) Rivers played an AFC Title Game on a ACL that he tore against the Colts, and had surgically repaired on the monday after the Colts game. They lost the AFC CG to the undefeated Patriots, and missed the best chance they had at the Super Bowl- but that's also why Rivers is immensely popular with his peers, and will likely have strong Veteran's committee support for his eventual candidacy.

The knock on him will certainly be the playoff failures.
They've never won anything and they have dropped some terrible games against inferior teams on the regular..
His "monster" games are in losing efforts.. Doesn't matter if he doesn't play defense. He doesn't do enough to win enough.

certainly not a first ballot. If he ever takes his team to a Super Bowl maybe. Right now...I would say no to the Hall of Fame.

So, what are you saying?
Rivers helps them get an extra 2 wins?
