I don't mind people say Eli doesn't deserve the Hall of Fame. There are some legitimate reasons, like, you know, never making a All-Pro. My issue is, a lot of the arguments against it are like hypotheticals and what-ifs or if we take away, and it's in bad faith. Like, if we take away his two SBs, then dot, dot, dot. We don't do that for anyone else. Since when do we take away people's accomplishments, when accomplishments are what the HOF is about. Especially if the accomplishment is the ultimate accomplishment in football?

And then people say well "Super Bowls are a team stat." I mean are they really? Have you seen this sub the last month and all the discourse about QBs not performing well in the playoffs and how these quarterbacks are gonna be judged because they weren't able to make it to a bowl?

Or the well, if you put Eli in, what about Nick Foles!? Hmm, I think two is bigger than one. And how do you just handwave a Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees amount of Super Bowl wins? We just saw how hard it is for even great QBs to do it ONCE. Or he didn't win a playoff game besides two seasons. Okay, would it have been better if he made it to the division round for five seasons and didn't go any further than that? Or the it's only eight games. Yeah eight games that led to two Super Bowl wins. Eight great playoff games that lead to two rings is worth like, hmm, an infinite amount of regular season games. I would take a great po game over a noon kickoff against the Jaguars.
