They are meaningless to me. Yes, I know that Eli is going to get in.
Plus, his career stats aren't great. Other than throwing a lot of passes, he hasn't done anything particularly well.
So, by your standard a guy who has 2 great years and then decides he want's to go into another line of work and quits football is a better HOF candidate than a guy who never quite had the same years, but was a step below and was dedicated to it for 15-20 years? I'll have to take another view. While Eli was never a Brady/Brees/Rodgers level guy (or Peyton either), he has been a consistently solid, reliable QB for many years, and has been a key part of a lot of team success. I'm on the fence about whether that is enough for me to say Eli belongs in the HOF, but hat kind of consistency and dedication over many years, for me, does have value and is worth something.
