He should definitely make it in based on his accomplishments, but he was a very average QB. Very streaky.
never been an eli fan personally. mediocre QB who put up big career numbers due to loyalty from a team. most QBs with his performance if he didn't have the name or lyalty would have been a journeyman QB bounced around the league. also the fact he bitched his way off the team that drafted him is shitty. but he did beat brrady twice in the SB (even though it wasn't him making the plays) so hard to hate the guy
At that time no. Look at Emmitt. Or Marcus Allen. Or Frank Gore now. Barry and Curtis both retired early (and btw each had 10 years of 1000+ yards). Curtis had some injury issues and got out while he was on top. Gotta respect him he was a great rb.
