No but a historically great MVP season followed by a Super Bowl and top 3 quality season would for me outweigh a longer run of bottom half top 10 seasons.

It should also be mentioned that Eli's defense never conceded more than 20 points during the Super Bowl runs.

Matt Ryan had two great seasons, 2016 and 2018..what's the third?

in 2007 the giants defense were 7th in yards allowed and 17th in points allowed (good but not great) and 4th in rushing offense, which certainly helped him run a much more controlled offense, no question about it. He wasn't asked to carry that team, but he played very well in the playoffs.

In 2011 the giants were 27th in yards allowed and 25th in team defense, and dead last in rushing. Eli carried that team to the Super Bowl, so any argument that he only won because of rushing and defense is revisionist history. It was his best season and the only point in his career where he was close to a top 5 QB. The Giants defense was dreadful that year, but they rose to the occasion in the playoffs.

He will be in the Hall of Fame based simply on the merit of those 2 Super Bowl runs and victories over heavily-favored Patriots teams, and winning MVP both times. Going 2-0 over Brady in Super Bowls during the Patriots heyday and never missing a game due to injury in his entire career allowing him to accumulate massive stats make it a no-brainer even though admittedly he was never one of the best in the league, except maybe in 2011.

You're the one putting him in the HOF

He was never one of the best, not even close in 2011


His best year was 2015 and he wasn't top 5 then either.
Eli is basically Blake Bortles with 2 rings that the D earned.
