Is Eli HOF worthy?

He shouldn't get in but he probably will because of those SB wins.

If there was a Hall for the very good he'd be in it right away but I don't believe he is a HOF:er.

Agreed.

The Hall of Fame is reserved for the "best of the best" at their respective position. Eli had a good career but not elite.

His last name & 2 SB MVP's helps his cause tremendously.

Yeah and winning the SB is a team effort, he didn't carry the team as much as their respective defences did.

Don't know about that. A "straw poll" was done of the 48 hall of fame voters and nine said 'yes', nine said 'no', ten said 'undecided' and the others said they wouldn't respond. Since it takes 80% of the votes to be elected he doesn't have the votes today. That could change over the next five years with turnover of voters or viewpoints. But, as it stands now, he is on the outside looking in.
