Yes, first ballot. 30 17.54%

Yes, but it will take a while. 65 38.01%

Yes, but he absolutely should not. 52 30.41%

No, but he should. 1 0.58%

No, and fuck no. 22 12.87%

Kurt sucks. 1 0.58%

Both SB wins came on the back of those defenses.

Eli has never been considered a top 10 QB while he played.

I'd never vote the guy in. But he's a Manning so he'll get sucked off into the HoF.

Look, if Tom Brady tripped on a clod of dirt and broke his neck and it prevented the Patriots from going 19-0 then that clod is a lock for the HoF in my book. Eli is that clod.


Beating the cheating Patriots in the SB twice is like Buster Douglas whipping Mike Tyson and then hopping on a bicycle and beating Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France.

Except they weren't. His defense played well. But those were team wins. It wasn't like Tampa or Baltimore who backed into the playoffs. For most games Eli was either really good or really efficient. He wasn't great in playoffs outside those 2 super bowl runs, but for those 2 super bowl runs he was excellent.

Yes, maybe not 1st ballot but it shouldn't be awhile either

Eli wasn't bad in the playoffs either. Marino was bad in the playoffs - overall losing record.

I assume this isn't a completely serious comment, but why do people keep saying it? It's fucking stupid.
[Reply]

Are there a bunch of Mannings in the HOF that I'm not aware of?
[Reply]

Eli is going to get in. He's got two SB rings, and two SB MVPs. There's no QB in NFL history that has two SB MVPs that isn't in the HOF.
[Reply]

The fact he has two Super Bowl wins/MVP’s is his only argument to get into the HOF.

Otherwise he is Joe Flacco.
[Reply]

I voted first ballot but it could be second but I'm not sure what the classes are going to look like when he's eligible. 2 Rings and a long career is going to put him in whether he actually deserves it or not. Stats, long career and multiple rings pretty much guarantees him.

He wouldn't make my Hall. The dude was never even really a top 5 QB at any given time.

But he's got the name, the Super Bowls, and the iron man start streak so he'll definitely get in.
[Reply]

Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
He is a 2 time SB Champ. He is a 2 time SB MVP. He is #7 all time in the passing yards.
He is one of 5 QBs that have ever won 2 SB and 2 SB MVP.

And one could easily argue that he was not a top-ten quarterback in the league during his career. His only argument is that his father strong-armed him onto a strong team that carried him to success.

I suspect he'll make it because Archie and Peyton will lobby for him and try to bypass the system as usual, but he doesn't deserve it. His undermining of the NFL draft was bad for the sport.

The dude played for 16 years. Tell me which season you'd have considered him a top 5 QB.
