Not really. I mean I get the analogy but the reason why ppl put eli in that HoF debate is because of who he beat. In 2007 he beat tony romo, brett favre and the undefeated patriots. In 2011 with a terrible defense and horrible offensive line he beat matt ryan, 15-1 aaron rodger's packers, the 13 win niners, and then tom brady and gronk in the SB. Without eli manning the history books would look a lot different. If the giants don't beat the patriots brady has 5 rings is undefeated in SBs and is widely considered the goat from as early as 2011. Or the cowboys or packers make it to the Sb changing those legacies. Or aaron rodgers makes it to back to back SBs and wins with a 15-1 team. Stafford did great this postseason but eli's runs were more historic bc of who he took down along the way.

Eli has 2 of the most incredible playoff runs the NFL will ever see and on top of that ended up being top 10 in most qb stat categories while playing for a bad giants team from 2011 until he retired. Eli even carried a bad overall giants team into the playoffs in 2011 and everything came together during that post season run.

If Eli had a super team as loaded as the Rams then he’d have at least another SB. The man won a SB with a bottom tier OL and a defense that in the bottom half of the league coming into the postseason. Also holds the record for most passing yards in a postseason. Beat Brett Favre AND Aaron Rodgers in GB. Beat an undefeated Belichick and Brady. Stafford hasn’t done anything close to that.

After seeing this recent group of NFL Hall of Famers, Eli and Matthew Stafford has a very good chance to get in.
Eli Manning has 4 Pro Bowls and 2 Super Bowl MVP. He also won his 2 SBs against the GOAT. Has the NFL record for passing yards and completions in the playoffs. While Stafford basically had an All Star team and barely was able to beat a QB in his second year, while throwing multiple picks throughout the playoffs

You're strongest argument is that Eli beat TB twice. Aside from that, look at Eli's playoff career. 18 TD-9 INT. That's comparable to Staff's 13 TD-6INT. Staff's performance in the playoff this year was phenomenon with a 9 TD to 3 INT. Of those 4 Pro Bowls that Eli made it to, 3 of those years were high in INT's. (29-16 in 2011, 26-15 in 2012, and 35-14 in 2015). Staff's stat this year was 41-17 and didn't even make the Pro Bowl cut. Likewise, Russell Wilson's stats from 2021 (40-13 with a similar team record 12-4) was able to make the Pro Bowl with those numbers. I get people are using accolades against Staff but I think Stafford gets the short end of things. You have guys like Mac Jones making it as an alternate. Mac Jones literally have the same amount of Pro Bowl appearance as Staff. I'm not even factoring in Stafford's circumstances with the Lions. This is just based on this year's performance.

Why do you call a handoff where the bear gets the ball 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage is mind-boggling.

Matt Stafford will very likely, almost certainly get the numbers, have the performances in the coming seasons to become a Hall of Famer, regardless of whether he wins the Super Bowl again or not or gets to another. He just needs three to four seasons of good to great play, winning records, and two to three more playoff wins.

I think Eli makes it in but if I'm picking who I want on my team I'm taking Stafford every time. Stafford has always had great talent but no opportunity to have the playoff accolades because Lions organization has been trash.
Exactly the point I have been making for the last 8 years about Eli. It’s clear since the history of the QB position is weak in the 80’s and 90’s 4K passing was considered a great yards barometer for a QB and if you threw for 3k it was considered a good season. Today with all the rules to assist said position and said side of the ball the QB position is flourishing and now everyone is claiming you can’t win without a great QB. The Giants defense won us two Super Bowls with Manning as QB yet as Molly and nearly every other person who watches football tell it we won only due to the QB. That’s the Agenda from the league and the media and not the facts or reality!

Yeah, for the past years the format has been a QB playing at a great level gets you to the Super Bowl but a great defense wins you it. This year with the Rams sacking Joe Burrow whenever they want, last year with the Bucs demolishing Mahomes and that attack, the Pats beating the Rams in a great defensive game which was the lowest scoring Super Bowl, the Giants with both of their runs. The Ravens and Broncos recent win. I mean even in Philly’s win, the game was decided by a defensive play. The first team to make a big defensive play won the game. And in the Chiefs game, the 49ers dominated them in the 2nd and 3r quarter when the the Chiefs couldn’t do anything on offense and after they scored for their 2nd TD and after on Chiefs played great defense to keep the 49ers scoreless. And in the 28-3 game, not only did the Pats offense took over but the defense allowed them to score 25 unanswered points dominating a historic offense led by Julio and Matt Ryan. Your defense’s talent and their performance is the deciding factor of the Super Bowl most of the time, especially in the recent years since the game slows down and big plays do not occur as much and it comes down to stops made.
Mathew Stafford has the most yards and tds for any QB in his first 13 seasons and also has the most opposing points scored on him. Detroit was the problem. This mans a hall of famer
Eli Manning should’ve won MVP in 2011. Imagine if the playoffs counted in the award. Eli Manning has been screwed over so many times it’s laughable people question his greatness
George Blanda and Joe Namath are Hall of Famers. That ain’t the “best of the best”

Well said. The anti Eli crowd totally ignored your post.

Talk 👏🏽 that 👏🏽 talk 👏🏽, Molly!
But yet Marcus would say Dak should be in the HOF 😂😂😂
People have always said Stafford has great arm talent the knock against him is interceptions and he played for a terrible run organization. Guarantee if Stafford was on a well run team like Steelers or someone he would have multiple super bowls and is a automatic hall of famer. It's hard to make the pro bowl when the lions only win like 5 games he's been snubbed multiple years. Eli manning should make it but if I'm picking who I want on my team and who's more talented at QB I'm picking Stafford over Eli every time.

Stafford has 100% been a top 3 QB (pro bowl) for many years in the NFC. He didn't make it because of his team. He shouldn't be punished for that because that's what happens when you play in Detroit. Pro bowl is only loosely merit based.

Eli is a HOF. Stafford is a HOF. He been on a lions team who was trash his whole career and he was always an elite QB just couldn't win with his team. But when you put a team around him he win in his first year.
That’s like saying if Jimmy G has upset the Chiefs he should be a Hall of Famer. I mean it’s not a perfect comparison since Stafford is more talented. But Jimmy G has an incredible winning record so why not throw him in if he wins a Chip. SO stupid😂

Nah that’s way different cause Mathew Stanford’s numbers are insane he’ll finish top 5 in passing yards tds and attempts could win another Super Bowl and the only reason he wasn’t in pro bowls is because of Detroit he shoulda been in plenty of times. He shoulda been in this year over kyler Murray as well

Eli was average besides his two years he won in the super bowl he had good playoff runs but so did Flacco when he won in 2012 Eli is overrated
People say the giants defense was the reason they won the superbowls to discredit what Eli did.. Yes the defense was elite. But in the 2011 run Eli still holds the record for most passing yards in a single post season. 10 seasons later that record still stands.
He got snubbed a lot from the pro bowl and never wasn’t a alternate because of always had to get treatment after the year and was banged up
Stephen A is spot on

Mathew stafford has been one of the most underrated players in nfl history. He was consistently rated 78-82 in madden. Nfl analysts overvalue the wins stat for QB’s.. even more than nba analysts. This alone is funny because there’s no more of a team sport than football. You can’t just be an excellent player and get wins. Stafford had to do that for years with lions but PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ANALYSTS were just too lazy to put in the work and watch him.
The argument with The Defense beating TB 12 and The Pats shows that The Pats Defense kryptonite is Eli. Look at The Stats of The 2007 Pats Defense, they were The Top 4 Ranked Defense while The Giants are Ranked 17. The 2011 Giants Defense was much worse and you're crediting The Defense for beating The Pats.

Why is with this lame topic if Eli and Matthew becoming a HoF cause of their regular season and post season games? Neither of these two don't belong to be in the HoF anyway. HoF has to be someone who shattered records throughout of his NFL career tenure with/without S.B. and MVP title. I agree 100% to what Richard Sherman said, the HoF nowadays standard has been set too low. 😆😂😂 Every sports definitely needs to set a higher standard. It's embarrassing. That's like saying a sport athletic winning a single gold medal becoming a superstar just cause she/he won their first medal. 😆😂😂 HoF is just a laughingstock nowadays cause anyone can get in.
