For most people it's do they have rings? If they have rings were they a key component or just riding the wagon? If they don't have rings and aren't a key component, they better be jumping off the screen that makes you think holy cow that guy is great. I cannot say that Phillip Rivers to me jumped off the screen, without you telling the stats I wouldn't expect him to be up there like that. I would compare him to an Eli manning or something like that where it just seems meh

[@IChoozUpikachu]

[@HarleyJarvis703]

@Ethan Orazietti I have the complete opposite take... Phillip rivers has 8 pro bowls and has lead the league in almost every category a qb has at least once. Sure he consistently lost to the greatest player ever, but I don’t hold that against him(who knows what happens if LT doesn’t tear his ACL and if he didn’t have to play on a torn ACL). He’s the 8th most winningest qb of all time with 16 less wins then Marino with the same amount of regular season games started. He has 5 postseason wins in 12 games compared to Marino’s 8 wins in 18 games. Frank gore on the other hand has 5 pro bowls.Has gone over 1250 yards in a season once, never lead the league in yards or touchdowns. Believe they both deserve it but if one deserves I would say it’s Phil.

[@prophetfuture9225]

@@HarleyJarvis703 This is exactly my point, avg career for a running back is what 7-10 years?

[@alondite215]

This is a sensible way to look at it. Like it or not, football players are judged largely on the overall success of whatever team they play for, but I feel Rivers' individual performance year-in and year-out is at a level that entitles him to HoF consideration even if the teams he's played for haven't had a lot of post-season success. Maybe not 1st ballot, but HoF consideration nonetheless.

[@semi6544]

He played all his seasons with Brady, Manning, and Rothlisberger playing for good organizations like the Patriots, Colts, and Steelers. The Ravens didn't have good QBs but their ability as an organization to draft and win was top notch. I don't believe Rivers had a great shot at winning a SB and his best opportunity had a shocking ending vs the Patriots that wasn't Phil's fault. Jordan prevented a ton of basketball HoFs from getting titles and Brady locked up the SB appearances in the AFC for years. Rivers played 17 seasons. He played 16 seasons in the same conference as Brady as Brady took 9 SB appearances. If Rivers played for an organization better than the Chargers. Remember the Chargers firing a coach after he went 14-2. Players used to tell the Chargers publicly not to draft them. I agree with you. He will be a HoFer but probably not first ballot.

You mean he choked

[@iamPUMBBAAA]

forgot to mention he never missed a game. The only QB with more consecutive starts is Brett Favre.

[@Jake0666]

And Eli Manning lmao.

[@iamPUMBBAAA]

@@Jake0666 Wrong Eli has 222 consecutive starts. Rivers has 252. Rivers is tied for third all time.

[@kitkat6782]

So? He isn’t special. Rivers has 0 all pros, 0 MVPs, 0 conference titles (never PLAYED in a SB), and 0 rings of course. He was never dominate and hasn’t won a single award besides pro bowls. Sure he has good stats but when you start for 17 years and you’re alright you’re going to have good stats. There’s nothing special about Rivers. The HOF is for special players and generational talents and for true all time greats.

[@iamPUMBBAAA]

@@kitkat6782 go argue with someone else. I think he’s great and definitely deserves to be in the HOF.

@@iamPUMBBAAA You don’t break down my points because you can’t handle the fact he doesn’t deserve a spot in Canton.

I wanted to thanks Mr Philip Rivers for his time as a Pro. I am neither a Chargers nor a Colts fan but i enjoyed seeing him playing for that long time. I remmember when he was drafted and loved his passion, he was always challenging to play. NFl is the NFL because of men like Phillip Rivers. For me no question, he deserves his spot in Canton. Best wishes for the after football life.

[@XxDanny80xX]

If Phill could talk trash like he does on the field for Monday night football booth. Would be 10x as better then Romo and Jim on cbs

[@MilkWasABadChoice17]

He's gonna get in the HOF. He has more passing yards and TDs than Marino. He's going to be overlooked as the years go on because he never had an MVP type season or a Superbowl run.

[@getbuckets4252]

Different league, phil would not have come close to marino's numbers in that era . Guy had LT and couldn't get to a SB lol

[@MilkWasABadChoice17]

@@getbuckets4252 It is a different league, but being a QB in the NFL nowadays for that long is incredibly difficult considering how teams are willing to cut bait on guys so fast if things aren't working.

[@MilkWasABadChoice17]

@@kitkat6782 I don't disagree. To me, after a few very good years, he just managed to survive for a long time. He's going to get in just due to the longevity of his career and the numbers he amassed over time. It's similar to Frank Gore, he was never the absolute best RB in the league, but a very good one for a long time, and now has the 3rd most rushing yards of all time.

[@kitkat6782]

@@MilkWasABadChoice17 Yeah and I’m gonna be honest, if Eli or Rivers makes it in, I’m gonna lose serious respect for the HOF status.

Dude was a top 5 draft pick, didn't bust and had a hell of a career with top 10 and top 5 stats in so many categories. Gotta be a HOFer. Glad he's retiring healthy and gave a one last shot up in Indy. He did all he needed too..
