Matthew Stafford’s Super Bowl Win Sparks Eli Manning Hall Of Fame Debate On Social Media

After Matthew Stafford won the Super Bowl after many years being an above-average quarterback in the league, many were quick to think of comparable players when questioning his Hall of Fame case.

The general consensus is that, yes, Stafford will have his day in Canton. But when looking at the Rams quarterback’s resume, many became adamant when arguing about former Giants quarterback, Eli Manning’s case.

Someone said below what I was thinking:

If Stafford gets in at this point in his career, then you absolutely have to put Eli Manning in. https://t.co/KSCKD1QNy4

Immediately after the Matthew Stafford stans flocked to social media to lobby for his Hall of Fame case, people were quick to argue about Eli Manning.

Eli Manning is a Hall of Famer and it isn't really debatable. Please stop.

The Hall of Fame bar is way too low.

Eli Manning, shouldn’t be HOF
Phillip Rivers, shouldn’t be HOF
Matt Ryan, shouldn’t be HOF.

You should have zero debate about it and know it when you see it.

Tom Brady should be HOF
Peyton Manning should be HOF
Aaron Rodgers should be HOF

Eli Manning is a Hall of Famer. If you think otherwise you are not entitled to that opinion and should rethink your life choices. ❤️

Most passing yards in a single postseason:

Eli Manning – 1,219 (2011)
Matthew Stafford – 1,188 (2021)
Kurt Warner – 1,147 (2008) #SBLVI

If he makes first ballot it’s an embarrassment to Brady, Brees, Rodgers, and his brother https://t.co/rZdxsTqGvz

Matthew Stafford’s illustrious career was cemented by a coveted Super Bowl win this past weekend, and it’s now hard to argue against him making the Hall of Fame. But to use his career as some sort of proof that Eli Manning shouldn’t get the call is a little ridiculous.

Manning ranks top 15 in NFL history in yards, touchdowns, completions, comebacks, wins, and game winning drives. Of course, he also has the two Super Bowl MVP’s under his belt.

At the end of the day, we’ll likely see both Eli Manning and Matthew Stafford donning a gold jacketing Canton, Ohio.
