No, I don't really think he would get in based on his overall body of work but besides the current streak he's on, he has also had the 3rd highest QB rating for a season and tied for the most TD passes in a game. And he's BDN so that should also be considered.
Oh no, now we're going to get the "you Eagles fans think Foles should be in the HOF" label now.
People are saying Eli, with the same number of SB's and about 10x the stats, shouldn't even get in. I'm all for your fun 'what ifs' this week to take the stress off, but this one is a little too far fetched
Again, I'm not really serious. Nick's just has some of the best short term stats around. And no, I don't think Eli should get into the Hall of Fame. He's a .500 QB who rode his defense to two super bowls and never got hurt over 15 years. He's a compiler.People are saying Eli, with the same number of SB's and about 10x the stats, shouldn't even get in.

Eli probably gets in though. HOF is often about compiling stats anyways. There's no "ONE WAY" to evaluate a great qb. Some voters will look at stats, some the eyeball test, some super bowls.
I agree with you that Eli will get in because of lots of stats, 2 super bowls, and the Manning name. But in my opinion he shouldn't get in.
It sucks because he barely deserves it, but Eli definitely falls into that category. You can't tell the story of the all-time Brady/Belichick Pats dynasty that defined the league for almost two decades without Eli and those Giants SB's being intertwined.
The exact opposite of what you say about Nick Foles usually happens. I'm actually intrigued now
Troy Aikman got in, better career I guess (2 more pro bowls and a 3rd ring) but largely similar.
Thanks for the compliment. Take away “knowitall” fans like yourself and Chip Kelly he would be cementing a HoF career by now.Correction: One person thinks Foles is a Hall of Famer.
Aikman was never the best QB in the league, but he was pretty good. 5 seasons in the top 5 in passer rating. Eli has zero, and only one season in the top 10.
Seems easier to do when your o line is great, you have Emmit,n Irvin, good defense... Kinda like the opposite happens with everything you say but you only come back after 2 years to discuss times you're 'right". Some life you have
Sure. But Eli is not at all a good comp for Aikman. Aikman very efficiently ran one of the top offenses in the league for many years. Eli played a few good games at the right time.
Not to insult Troy but on another team he's not HOF imo
I was afraid he may have hurt himself when Foles got benched with the Rams. He totally disappeared. After running his mouth for a year non-stop before that. Also stayed away when he was a bench warmer behind Alex Smith in Kansas City. Now that Foles is popular, he's back pounding his chest. The very definition of a no integrity poster. Big man when he's right. Spineless coward when he's wrong. That's why no one takes him seriously. At least it's good to know he's safe.Kinda like the opposite happens with everything you say but you only come back after 2 years to discuss times you're 'right". Some life you have

1. I wasn’t wrong and showed plenty of integrity standing up in every situation named. You’re continued smear campaign is full of delusion. The whole topic can be revisited unless you boys deleted post. Go check David Wilson threads, Tavon Austin, Blake Bortles or you name it. I’m all for the smoke. You’re upset I let time prove you wrong. There isn’t 40 QBs better than Nick Foles. Last laugh is AT you
Lol I can hear Jr and Deamon now “You waiting 10 years after he retired to say I told you so when you were wrong all these years about him getting in coward”I’ll say “1 1/2”
I’ll tell you one thing he is getting in—the Eagles ring of fame even if the magic ends this week. Ray D himself said so LOL.
On another team neither is Tom Brady
Not to insult Troy but on another team he's not HOF imo
Because he's been surrounded by HOF caliber players?
You think Brady's a HOFer if he'd been drafted by pretty much any other team in the league?
We'll never know (don't know with Aikman for that matter) but Tom has done more with less skill player talent than anyone else.
I think this is absurd. Brees proved it going from SD to NO. Brady is one of the best we've ever seen and it wouldn't matter what team he was on. He makes average players around him better. Other than Randy Moss he's NEVER had an elite WR. Not one. I think your view is tainted because that statement IS true about Troy. I'd say its true about Emmitt Smith too.
I'm not comparing anything to Troy.
Yeah maybe he wouldn’t be as good on another team but what makes you so certain he wouldn’t be HOF good? Are you saying he’s not as good as QBs like Eli or Ben?
No?
I think Brady would be a HOF QB regardless of who drafted him. Yes I believe he's that good. No I don't think Ben is as good as Brady.
Yep. He missed it by like 4 plays and had it been a meaningful game, he'd have stayed out there. Good move by the team. Shows the rest of the players that they're not unreasonable when it comes to their money. Makes potential free agents consider Philly a little more.
Lurie is a damn fine owner and I believe a legitimately good dude. Up until they won last year, there were still loads of people that felt he was only in it for the money. I don’t see how anyone with an ounce of sense could say that. He wanted that trophy as much as any of us. It is true that the city helped quite a lot with the stadium and it hurt Phily’s bond rating for a while and so some bear a grudge about that but I’d say it’s been worth it.
