  - Duh, of course Eli is in. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 12, 10:23 2
    - The interesting one to me is Philip Rivers, who has put up amazing stats without ever making his team better. - Da5id Apr 12, 10:26 1
      - Philip Rivers is the running joke in our Keeper $$ League draft for the past 10 years - Strongbad Apr 12, 10:29

      - all right, Russell lets get one more! -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 10:32
- I'd say....probably not. I like to think HOFers are in the top 10% of their counterparts. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:17 3
  - Eli's getting in the HoF. That's a slam dunk. -- nm - Da5id Apr 12, 10:19 2
    - He's getting in because he's got 2 rings; not his actual performance relative to the others - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:21 1
      - He's also getting in because he plays in New York. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 12, 10:24

    - that's fair -- nm - rollo Apr 12, 10:26
    - For me, it's Warner of the modern ilk. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:20 13
      - Warner got in the Hall of Fame this year. - Da5id Apr 12, 10:23 12
        
        Warner would be my in/out line. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:26 11
        
        That's bs. Every single fucking time Tom Brady leads a game winning drive, he's the most clutch QB of all time. - Shaun Apr 12, 10:28 10
        
        In an alternate universe, one of those required the receiver to catch the curved ball with his helmet which is another curved surface. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Apr 12, 10:46 2

        When Team #1 averages 35 points per game and the final score is 17-14...I'm not giving the winning QB all that much credit. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:33 6
        
        You might not, but the voters decided he was the game's MVP. -- nm - Da5id Apr 12, 10:46 5
        
        I think most voters were loathe to split their votes 4-ways. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:52 2
        
        You can use that 'but, if' clause for every single game in the history of sports. It's a shit argument. - Shaun Apr 12, 10:58 1
        
        But, if....I'm not arguing who won -- the Giants won (and deserved to) - Will Hunting Apr 12, 11:04
        
        But David he didn't do anything useful. He was just there for shits n giggs and was useless. - Shaun Apr 12, 10:51 1
        
        I'm sorry I dared to insinuate your QB who only scored 17 points (7 of which are due to an outright miracle play) - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:57
  - Good comparison -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:18
  - yup -- nm - decline Apr 12, 10:17 1
    - yup, and we should know : ) -- nm - rollo Apr 12, 10:21

    - yeah, she really blossomed in that character in Iron Fist -- nm - decline Apr 12, 10:19
    - she kind of makes any movie she's in better. She's been in some duds and been the only thing worth watching... - Mel Profit Apr 12, 10:18 3
      - I'm glad you mentioned Alexander so I didn't have to -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 10:38
