The difference being, and it matters to most voters, is Eli has 2 rings, and Rivers has never even been to the big game

Right, the other difference is Eli got sat at the end of his career so he wouldn't fall below .500.

I agree with what you said... but unfortunately we don't get to decide this kind of shit is all Im saying

Sure. And the most likely outcome is that both get in and Eli gets to be the worst QB in the HoF.

Hey now, no reason to break things. They have a good going in Buffalo.
On Rivers, they've pushed QBs to be the faces of the game so it would be hard to not let one of them in even if he was mainly a stat machine in a stat era. Every single rule is different for QBs and I expect the same treatment from the HoF. Eventually even losers like Goff and Mayfield will get in for the accomplishment of playing QB (if they play long enough).

Eli also has the pull of being a Manning. He would have gotten in with curb stomping Brady once, not just twice.

Having this discussion with a friend of mine right now.. there are 12 multi SB win QBs, 3 of which are either not eligible yet or still actively playing. Eli is definitely at the bottom of that list.. but the list is still small enough that he gets in imo

I mean he's actually been to the playoffs more often than Eli has.

I would argue that both Fouts and Namath were worse QBs. But he is probably not among the more talented ones, for sure.

I mean it's all relative to era. Eli played in an era where he's worse than Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Favre, Rivers, Wilson, and Luck. That's not counting the young dudes. You can argue about Stafford, Ryan, etc as well. I'm not sure Namath or Fouts had that many in their era you could do that with.

It's not like the SB wins are all he has. He's 8th all time in passing yards and 9th in touchdowns.
Not even close. No one will ever take that away from Bob Griese. During the perfect season he only played 4 games before being injured and then came back during the championship game when the backup got sick. He threw for 88 yards in the superbowl. In their second superbowl he only had 7 pass attempts for 73 total yards.
I think Eli is easily better than Joe Namath too, who was mostly put in the HoF for being a celebrity, not for what he did on the field.

8th in yards and 9th in tds, and everyone ahead of him except for marino were people he played at the same time as. Eras matter. Also he will likely be passed by Ryan and Stafford in both of these at some point in the near future and by Rodgers for yards.
Fair point about Griese though, he was at a similar position as ELI when he retired as he was around 10th in both all time yards and TDs I think. He did make 8 pro bowls in 14 seasons though back when it didn't get passed down to the 15th alternate.
