Rodgers and Mahomes will end up as first ballot locks, Russ has a case to get in eventually and I think Stafford will eventually one day get to canton

Just tell us who you or your buddy thinks should get in besides Mahomes/Rodgers.

mahomes, rodgers, and russ. russ is definitely getting in he was elite for many years in seattle, consistently a top 5 QB. he actually hasn’t been bad this year, his team is just bad

Goff at home

Tom Brady… what do you mean he retired??? What kind of fool do you take me for?

Russ should get in just because we all know he's already written the speech. There are little notations that allow for applause breaks. And at the end he'll do a ceremonial bow, like a feudal lord.

I figure Daniel Jones and Zach Wilson will both at some point visit the hall of fame

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.

Joe Burrow

Rodgers and Mahomes are unquestionably the only ones right now.

Rodgers and Mahomes are locks.

Russ is a wild card. Had he called it a career in Seattle he likely gets in. The last year and a half in Denver have done a lot of damage to his legacy. Had he won two rings in Seattle, I’d say he would have been a lock even with recent Denver fiasco. But with one, who knows.

Stafford is another interesting name. Everyone uses the stupid “1 pro bowl appearance” against him, but the dude got shafted for years keeping the Lions semi-competitive (he threw for over 5k yards and 41 TDs in 2011 yet didn’t get voted to the pro bowl). His Super Bowl win was a big boost to his credentials, and he already is towards the top of most passing records. If he can get healthy and string together a few more winning seasons in LA before calling it quits I think he gets in (if Eli gets in, I don’t see how they don’t vote in Stafford).

Mahomes and Rodgers.

Stafford and Russ probably gets a few votes.

Nobody else is remotely close

matt stafford will be top 10 in career passing yards within a season and a half, probably less. not saying he’d be first ballot like rodgers or a lock like mahomes, but if he retired today, it would be a crime to not put someone with his numbers and general career arc in the HOF. everyone above him on that list is either in or will enter the HOF at some point, save for matt ryan (who would be in without 28-3).

The state of QBs in the league right now is just too young to guarantee anyone a spot in the HOF if they were to retire today besides Mahomes and Rodgers.

Seriously - among the QB starters only Rodgers, Wilson, Stafford, Garoppolo, Tannehill, Carr, Geno, Dak, and Cousins are 30 or older. Only Rodgers has won MVP and only 3 have won a ring (Rodgers, Wilson, Stafford). Maybe Stafford has a shot with his Super Bowl ring and association with record-setting receiver seasons like Kupp and Johnson. But no one has reached the same level of career success as Rodgers, and a few are approaching their end as starters (Garoppolo, Tannehill, maybe Wilson).

There's definitely younger guys with high ceilings and early accomplishments like Mahomes (MVP x2, Super Bowl x2, 1st Team All-Pro x2), Jackson (MVP, 1st Team All-Pro), Allen (2nd Team All-Pro), Hurts (2nd Team All-Pro, 1x NFC Champion), Herbert (historic OROY), Burrow (CPOY, 1x AFC Champion).

But excluding Mahomes and maybe Jackson, those are really weak resumes for the HOF.

Rodgers 100%

Mahomes 99%

Wilson-97%

That's about it

CJ stroud and J Dobbs

Rodgers is the last of the generation of great quarterbacks. He’s been consistently pretty good to great for years and has a Super Bowl under his belt. He’s in.

Patrick Mahomes is arguably the greatest to ever do it. If he retired today he wouldn’t have as long of a career as Rodgers but with his skills and accomplishments I think he’s a hall of famer.

I think that Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson are hall of famers if they have long careers, but they wouldn’t be in if they retired today.

I hope Russell Wilson doesn’t play himself out of the hall of fame. I think up to 2021, he’s borderline in.

Maybe Matthew Stafford sneaks in before anyone notices.

I mean.....TODAY? Mahomes and Rodgers are 100%. Maybe...MAYBE Stafford.

Hurts, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Cousins either need time and/or Super Bowl rings to get in there

Rodgers and Mahomes will get in if they retired right now. There’s plenty of young guys who look like they’re on their way but being good for a decade or more isn’t guaranteed. Stafford and Wilson are probably the closest of the rest of the QBs but I wouldn’t say they’re in right now.

Why am I not seeing more Stafford? Genuinely curious. Dude has crazy stats and won a bowl late in his career.

Aaron Rodgers guaranteed, Mahommes as much as I hate it is there and the only argument, which I don’t quite subscribe to, is longevity since he’s only been in the league for 5-6 years now, and Matthew stafford has to have serious consideration because of the numbers he’s put up and his ring. That’s it

Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. End of list.

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.

Joe Namath can't be in the HOF if Matthew Stafford isn't
