Towerbridge Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If Stafford wins the SB, he's got a very slight chance to make the HOF. How do you compare him to Rivers who probably has a better shot at the hall of Fame but no rings or even Super Bowl appearances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheatieMan Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Rivers by far regardless of the SB result. Stafford probably needs another deep run to get in. Rivers just compiled way too many numbers in perfect weather and has iced it. Stafford is that tweener generation guy that is trying to catch up late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Rivers for certain I think already has had the better career regardless what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both in the same category as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Neither are Hall of Fame material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm not putting Stafford in SB win or not. I'm not putting Rivers in but he was a much better quarterback. A SB win may have pushed him over the top. I don't understand the obsession everybody has with finding reasons to put players in the HoF. Is it a "this-generation" thing? Like instead of starting from "No, you're not a Hall of Famer" and then having to build a case to prove the player SHOULD be, people start from "Hell yeah Hall of Famer!" and then only an overwhelming argument against that will change their minds. I just hate that we can't accept that sometimes a player can be really good, we can admit that they're really good, acknowledge that they're really good, but they don't belong in the freaking Hall of Fame. High standards is GOOD for a Hall of Fame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 People tend to forget Stafford is still only 33 years old... If he goes for another 5 years he almost certainly ends up top 5 (probably top 3) in passing yards and right around top 5 in passing TDs... Add a ring to that and it's a pretty solid case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Idk if Stafford is a HOF'er even with a SB win here. That team is so loaded that it's probably going to be too little late. Guys this era that are getting in with a single ring are Brees and Rodgers who are a solid step above Stafford. And the guys close to Staffords level like Ben and Eli who have two rings and needed them for their HOF case (and Eli is still going to be contentious) At this point he's a guy with one Pro Bowl who MIGHT get a ring. Rivers isn't one either. No guy without either a ring, an MVP, or an All Pro has ever made it and Rivers doesn't have one. His only argument at all is that he's better than Eli who if he gets in is going to be about his post season resume not regular season.

WheatieMan Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I just think these tweener guys sandwiched between the Mahomes era and the Brady/Manning era in terms of age, just have no shot. They will take that gap of weak QB play and cast ballots for other more deserving guys at other positions. You just did not have a strong crop behind the 04 QB class… AND you had Brees/Rogers amongst that crop. That 2010-20 class is just not strong at all until Mahomes came on. There is a void there that will be filled by the guys since retired or soon to be retiring. Edited January 31, 2022 by WheatieMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsandBroncos Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Rivers ain't in sorry bruv. stafford is only 33. He has a shot with a win but a few more good runs or 1 more win (if he wins this time) and he's in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJaxxenGuy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If Stafford wins a Super Bowl he jus that’s to dust out some more stat seasons and he will get in the Hall eventually. without a ring he wouldn’t get in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatKing Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Why are people saying Stafford is 33 like that's young? He's got maybe 3 more high quality years in him tops. If he gets a ring this year he will probably get in the HoF regardless of how the rest of his career pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I like Stafford, think he's a great dude, and hope he has some more solid success with LA but he's not a Hall of Fame guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Stafford > Rivers with or without a Super Bowl. The Ring would just put away all doubts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what case there is for Stafford being better than Rivers unless you're doing some heavy adjusting for supporting cast while simultaneously downplaying Megatron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
