I disagree, Clark. Not unanimous. You didn't ask me. Eli is eligible in '25. Brees in '26. Eli is 1st ballot HOFer. 2 SB MVPs, 2 two-minute SB-winning drives vs. Pats, the first preventing NE from 19-0 and being celebrated as greatest team ever. Defines a HOF QB, in my opinion.
Interesting. Don't see that happening. But people do like "their guys".

Going 4-0 in championship games helps any QB's resume, Jim Plunkett did it as well but Manning just didn't end his career well enough to make the HOF but it's close.

I'll agree Brian but for a very different reason: looks like 2025 could be another clear out the backlog year and what happened to Antonio Gates will Probably happen to Eli

It seems like nowadays that is the only way players get in the PFHOF.

That and get your kid(s) to run a PR campaign. Or whine on TV. Both of those methods seem to be successful.

There was an individual who whined on TV a few years ago. He was voted in the next year.

I am glad Pearson cried and whined ... he should have been elected awhile back. He helped continue the tradition of Cowboys games ALWAYS leading into primetime for CBS, Fox and every other network since ...
