  1. 1. Will Eli Manning Get Into the Hall of Fame?

I would expect him to. Two SB victories, 2 SB MVP’s and 7th in passing yards (plus most post season yards in a season).

Nope.  He beat the Patriots in the SB twice, but that was primarily because of their defense.  Eli was good, but not great like his brother.

I think the name and super bowls get him in first ballot. He will be remembered as much better than he ever actually was. 
He was probably never a top 10 quarterback in the league but those super bowl rings will do the trick

Trent Murphy makes me appreciate Chris Kelsay.

 

and eli is one of the most overrated players in nfl history.  But because he “won” 2 SBs with the luckiest runs in nfl history (I remember the Bills played the Giants at the Ralph and he fumbled like 7 times and all my giant fan friends wanted he benched and then he won the SB in a few weeks), he’s a lock.  But he will go down with Terry Bradshaw as the worst qbs to ever win multiple SBs.  Seemed like a nice guy though and made a lot of money.

I think he's a lock to get in, but I think the Hall of Fame should be more exclusive than it is, and in such a world, he would not be considered a Hall of Famer.

.500 career winning percentage and (correct me if I'm wrong) never led the NFL in passing during his career.  No way.

Does Rivers get in over Manning in your opinion?

Can’t tell the story of the NFL without the Manning Brothers standing in Brady’s way during his prime. I get your point but I disagree.

He will. Whether he should is different. But he will. He was a career average NFL QB but when he got hot he led two famous post season runs and that throw to Tyree where he escaped two sure sacks.... that is a play you can't write the last 15 years of NFL history without.

I got slack for it but I don’t think Gore is a HOFer.  How many years was Gore a dominant player?  The HOFer is supposed to be for the greatest players of all time. Gore and Eli aren’t close to the greatest players of all time.

Kind of where I stand. He piled up stats and won two Super Bowls including one vs., arguably, the best team ever. I never thought he was that good but his resume is strong.

It’s interesting that it’s called Hall of Fame, not Hall of Great Players.  In my opinion, he’s famous, but he’s not great.  I don’t think he should get in, but his fame may get him in anyway.

7th all-time in yards, 7th all-time in TD passes. 2 Super Bowl wins.

 

First ballot Hall of Famer.

Yuck if he’s a first ballot HOF.  He was a stat complier.  He just played in a lot of games.  I know it’s a team stat but should a qb with a .500 record be a first ballot HOF?  This would be like Matt Stafford going to the HOF.
