Had this discussion with a buddy of mine, would like your thoughts
He listed Herbert, Stroud, Lawrence, Young, and Purdy. All below the odds of Allen getting in. Definitely left him out on accident. If on purpose he’s jealous.
Mahomes, Rodgers, Stafford, Russ.
Mac Jones. He probably has to pay full price for his ticket though
Thomas N. DeVito
Aside from Mahomes and Rodgers? There are a few that are borderline but probably wouldn’t make it.
Matt Stafford comes to mind for his impressive stats and his Super Bowl ring. Kirk Cousins has revitalized his career In Minnesota. Lamar Jackson is the only one not named “Patrick Mahomes” or “Aaron Rodgers” who has an MVP. That’s the best I can come up with.
Recently Retired/Not Yet Eligible:
-
Brady (1st ballot)
-
Brees (1st ballot)
-
Roethlisberger (not 1st ballot, eventual)
Current players:
-
Mahomes (could retire tomorrow and would already be 1st ballot)
-
Rodgers (slam dunk 1st ballot)
-
Mike Glennon (1st ballot)
-
Just tell us who you or your buddy thinks should get in besides Mahomes/Rodgers.
Rodgers
Jake haener.
Sam Darnold, easy choice.
Matt Ryan if you count him as active? He never said he retired officially.
OPOTY, MVP, went to a Superbowl.
#7 in ALL TIME passing yards, everyone around and above him are HoFers, top 10 in passing touchdowns EVER. Top 10 in most wins by a QB EVER.
People forget how good he is/was.
y’all crazy for not thinking russ is in this conversation
Rodgers and Mahomes are unquestionably the only ones right now.
Rodgers 100%
Mahomes 99%
Wilson-97%
That’s about it
If their careers were over today, did Mahomes do enough yet? I think Rodgers is the only lock based on his career to this point. Russell maybe. I think a few will eventually get there, but at this point of their careers, not many.
