Without looking at stats or team success, id say Rivers is the best after those guys and if you consider he's been on inferior squads facing all time great qb's in the AFC and teams, he's pretty close. If being that good of a QB in the highest level of the game for that long of a time can't get you in, standards may be a little too unreasonable and unrealistic. That high of a standards is almost toxic for the game and the same type of standards that put T.O. in a year later than what he should have been.
10-15 years puts a lot of dudes in the conversation ( kurt warner etc)
Russel Wilson is def on track to be the 6th guy of this generation. dudes got something like 200 tds against 60 picks.
We cant argue the possibility of the 7th or 8th guy (Rivers) (in a passing generation) be in HOF, and still take the HOF seriously.
That's the whole problem with the HOF and their let anyone in attitude.
after pulling the stats, McNabb is very much like his generation's version of a less productive Matty Ice. I certainly don't think Matt Ryan is HOF, so for me this kinda ends this debate in my mind.
Matty Ice has an MVP. To me, a season MVP should be weighted a ton. IMO, a season MVP trumps rings as far as individual greatness goes.
(For example, no way in hell do I believe Eli deserves HOF recognition over Matt Ryan.)
Yeah but Tim Tebow has an mvp season should he be in the HOF?
