OT: Stafford a Hall of Famer?

In 2022, seven QBs were nominated - none made the list of HOF semi-finalists. I would rank Stafford fifth on this list.

Randall Cunningham
Donovan McNabb (lost SB)
Boomer Esiason (lost SB)
Steve McNair (lost SB)
Matthew Stafford (won SB)
Jake Delhomme (lost SB)
Jeff Garcia
Dave Krieg

Randall Cunningham should be in the HOF and was an extraordinary player for the Eagles and the Vikings. In looking over these QBs, the biggest surprise was the productivity and staying power of Jeff Garcia. Dave Krieg had a very good career as well but it never translated to playoff success.

Cunningham a HoF QB? That seems like a major stretch to me.

Dave Krieg and Cunningham had the exact same playoff success/failure.

None of them are HoF QBs

Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Dan Fouts, Fran Tarkenton, Jim Kelly, and Sonny Jurgensen are in the HOF without a title. Cunningham was the first African American NFL MVP and retired with the most yards rushing by QB. He also set an NFL record with the longest punt in NFL history - 91 yards.
 
Wow, the refs really were protecting the Rams in the super bowl...Stafford easily could have gotten a penalty

All the aforementioned QBs were better than Cunningham.

If you think he's a HoF that is fine. He's not on my list.
 
George Blanda, who is in the HOF, might be a good example of a quarterback who didn't really elevate his teams (in the NFL) and somehow got into the HOF. He did have 27,000 yards, 36 TDs, and 277 INTs.

George Blanda is in for other reasons.
