I say 2 rings it would take for Dak

2 rings is very hard for any QB not named Brady. Peyton, regarded as one of the best ever, barely got 2. And the 2 he got, he was simply a below average bus driver for the 2 rings he got. The 2 he lost, he led the team with prolific offenses, especially the 2013 Denver team. They were on par with the 1998 Vikings, 1999 Rams and the likes. It's hard to win. Brady getting 7 kind of skewed it so much where guys with only 1 were kind of demeaned for only getting one.

Rodgers and Brees who many consider 2 of the best ever, only got there one time apiece.

It seems rare that QBs in the league as long as Dak get there after this long. I'd like to go back and look at all the Super Bowl QBs, win or lose, and at what point did they get to their first Super Bowl. Dak hasn't even been past the divisional round yet in his career.

Wilson, Brady, Ben R, Eli, Kap, Mahomes, Flacco, Burrow, Goff were all young in their careers.

The only one I can really think of who finally go there after a long career of nothing is Stafford. But it took him going to an offensive genius in McVey who took noodle arm spare Goff to the Super Bowl and made people believe he was a good QB.

No.
There are past RBs who were just as productive, or more productive, who aren't in the HOF.

You clearly have not been watching modern NFL football much. A runner has to be VERY special to get on the field to even get the rock if he cannot block and catch the ball. Soup lines are full of guys who can carry the ball, to play in the NFL you have to do more.. or you have a 5 minute career.

Tellya what.. go ahead and list the starting backs in the league who JUST tote the rock and never get asked to block or catch it the ball.

I'll wait..
Dude what are you talking about? Runner bt back is the ultimate replaceable position. Teams rotate them every year. Unless you have Chubb, Henry ,kamara, McCaferry why overpay?
The only reason Zeke is still here is the crazy contract he got. Jerry never likes to admit he is wrong.

I mean Eli is going to get in with 2 rings for sure. Dak is better than Eli. 2 would do it with good stats.
People underestimate Eli for some reason.
He's wasn't as good as his older brother, but when the pressure was on he delivered two SBs and two SB-MVPs and several Pro Bowls.

When Zeke held out, he knew that this was probably the only big contract he would ever get.

He didn't deserve the MVP awards, especially the first one.
