Nah no way...he has two rings but thats about it. I mean heck...if he gets in..I guess they should let Desmond Howard get in there too.
Eli's stats are horrible. I've probably watched him play every game since he came on...and he hasn't improved one iota. ONCE in a great moon he makes a clutch play, but if a QB with his numbers and his caliber of play gets a bust in Canton...the NFL will officially have lost all credibility.

If anything, he may be one of those forgotten cats that get in like 50 years later out of some sort of respect. But take a look at the NFL HOF list for EVERY YEAR...now the Bolded names are the people who were elected in....notice that only 2 QBs have been elected in 10 years...the only QB's to get in 16 years are Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, John Elway, Steve Young, Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Troy AIkman, Ken Stabler and Brett Farve. That's 9 QB's in 16 years.
If you go back to 1996...only 9 QB's have been selected in 20 years.
If you go back 26 years ( starting in 1990)....that's 11 in 26 years (add Dan Fouts 93' and Bob Griese 90' to the list)
Think about it...that's 9 in 20 years or 11 in 26 years.
At what point does anyone see Eli getting into that kind of competition?
And the names on that list of 9 are some heavy hitters....not to mention the others who will definitely get on there ( P. Manning, Rogers, Brees, Brady, Rothelesburger, R. Wilson...and whatever future QBs who will rank in the top 5 that come after them.
And let's keep it 100....If Carson Palmer or Phillip Rivers gets a SB...they'll step ahead of him too...
Even Kurt Warner is struggling to get in...and he has 2 NFL MVP's, 4 Pro Bowls, One SB/SBMVP and other accolades.
Phil Simms aint even in there and he has 2 SB rings/1 SBMVP and a League MVP trophy to his name.
Jim Plunkett has 2 SB rings/1 SBMVP and a League MVP and he aint in either....
Eli has 2 SB/2 SBMVPs, 4 Pro Bowl appearances (mind you...2 of those PB appearances were because Tony Romo should have been chosen ahead of Eli for that 3rd spot on each of those years, so he only has 2...and even those 2 are extremely suspect.)
He has no League MVPs, he's never lead the league in anything positive.
No Rookie of the Year,
No First-Team ALL PRO,
No Second Team ALL PRO,
No NFL Come Back Player of the Year...
nothin lol.
He has 2 SB rings carried by the Giants Defense with a couple of Hail Mary's in clutch situations. In both Superbowl appearances, the Giants were the 5th and 4th playoff seeds going in...never a top 2 team.
And I'm not shytting on Eli just cause...I'm just puttin it all in perspective as a fan of the sport.
He has nothing else. Never a top 5 QB rating and his other stats are horrid.
The only other thing that he gets credit for is that he has started every game since his birth.
Eli has far too many NFL QB's ahead of him...LET ALONE players from other positions...I see him never getting in. He'll get nominated once or twice maybe...but actually elected in?
If he ever does...we'll all probably be long and dead gone to even know it.
