Yeah but Plunkett only has about half of Eli's career stats.
Totally different era. So let's give Eli a longevity and passing era award!
The only argument against Eli is his crappy rating. Everything else (rings, stats etc) looks pretty good. Of course it won't help his case that he bowed out with a whimper.
One of 5 players with 2 SBs....makes a powerful HoF argument!
there are more than 5 players with 2 super bowl rings
Each of which except for Plunkett, I believe are already in the HoF, which bodes well for Eli eventually getting in as well. Certainly won't be anywhere near a first balloter like his brother though.

surely there's loads more? Lots of the Steelers and 49ers for a start?
I think he meant 5 with exactly two Super Bowl wins - those being Starr, Griese, Staubach, Elway, & Plunkett (along with Peyton, Ben, and Eli who aren't yet eligible).

Ah, got you.
Surprisingly low given a few teams won three or more (in an era). You'd think more players would have caught the start or end of such an era and ended up with two.
(Edit. He's in good company?)
Ha, we apparently won Best Thread of 2019 
One of the few places on here with sensible sports talk going on.
Let's keep up the good work in the offseason guys.

This is definitely the best long running thread in here.

Nice!!
I agree that this is one of the best threads (apparently the best) where you get actual debate & discussion without resorting to stupidity or insults. Unless the discussion is about GOAT Brady
Kubiak is expected to be named Viking's new OC and Adam Zimmer is rumoured to be the most likely DC.
Any variation of the Niners' uniforms bar the all black are classic.
I've always said Man Utd have missed the trick not taking advantage of the giant gold bow tie emblem they're emblazoned with with an all white kit featuring gold and red highlights.
Defo a great thread. Like that on the whole it’s good and fair chat and not the usual slag off oppo fans (unless it’s us Pats fans )
)Not first ballot but Eli will probably get in eventually. Kurt Warner got in
Finding some nice views on Twitter:
Really excited for Sunday night!

I think Eli makes it as well, but there’s a big difference between Warner and Eli. Warner was a 2-time regular season MVP (Eli none) and has the same number of Pro Bowls (4) and was a 2-time 1st team All-Pro (Eli none) in roughly half the number of starts. Plus was the QB for the greatest show on turf, one of the most explosive offenses in NFL history.
Warner had an insanely good peak.
Agree with you and @Eboue, but there were questions around Warner's overall resume. Yet he made it in eventually... I think the same will happen for Eli.
The Saints are possibly nonce-enablers:

Old sexual abuse doesn’t matter guys.
How did the Saints help that?
We won’t know until we see the emails.
Bizarre eh. I’d be surprised if they didn’t get released.
Lawyers? ...
And if the Saints (allegedly) helped the church to hide some form of (alleged) abuse, that's ok because they tried to do it in secret (allegedly).
"Through their attorneys, the Saints dispute that the team helped the church in concealing criminal activity, and that the emails were intended to be private and shouldn’t be “fodder for the public"."
Yall are alright. However the Pats fanbase here in Florida is like a bunch Glastons where you can talk about any topic outside of sport and they’ll find a way to invoke the Patriots.Defo a great thread. Like that on the whole it’s good and fair chat and not the usual slag off oppo fans (unless it’s us Pats fans
Kurt was the better QB though. Much better IMO.
Interesting the poster doesn't mention Mahomes missed 2.5 games and thus makes it look as if Jimmy G "matched" him all season. Or that one had 2.6x the number of interceptions as the other and a QBR 18 points lower.
Just watched the NFL show on BBC.... good fun/interesting like usual. Showed the Miami stadium where the Superbowl will be. Not seen it from outside before.... nice.
Lawyers? ...
?
That they make stupid comments.
Like... implying that abuse from decades ago should be left alone
The Vince Lombardi trophy is in JD sports in the Arndale today. My mate just sent me pictures. Rushing down to see it now.
Hopefully it doesn't get robbed.
Nice and shiny. Will look great in the hands of Mahomes.
Nah, that’s scouseland
Not anymore, I bet....esp if Brady retires.
I want to purchase an NFL jersey for lounge wear and using for the gym. Would one be suitable for training in and can anyone give me good suggestions of what and where to pick one up?
Depends on the quality and type. Gameday ones are often pretty rigid - fine for lounging (once broken in), but wouldn't recommend for the gym! However, the cheaper ones - that dont have stitched on numbers and are thinner are ok - again, not one i'd wear to the gym - but everyone's different!
NFL Europe has never let me down before, fanatics too has been good in the past.
