Some argue Eli Manning’s two Super Bowls (and Super Bowl MVPs) are enough to get him into the Hall of Fame. The other side will point to the mediocrity that surrounded Manning throughout the rest of his 16-year-career.

“Any NFL player (non-kicker) that starts for 16 years for the same team, and doesn’t miss a start because of injury, should be in the Hall of Fame,” tweeted Sage Rosenfels, with the Manning Hall of Fame debate revved up in light of the 38-year-old being benched for rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.
