No Doubt
Aaron Rodgers: A four time MVP who throws the prettiest ball of all time. He’ll be a first ballot HOF and no one will bat an eye.
Patrick Mahomes: He is putting up numbers and accolades at a faster pace than any QB ever. It pains me to say, but he will make a run at the NFL GOAT and at minimum should be on the Mt. Rushmore for QBs if he stays healthy.
Lamar Jackson: Every player who has won the MVP award multiple times has or is guaranteed to go to the Hall of Fame. For that reason, plus the fact that he is probably the best athlete and running QB ever, I think Lamar has punched his ticket to Canton and he still should have many productive years left.
Likely In
Russell Wilson: Forget the last couple years. He’s a ten time Pro Bowler, a Super Bowl Champ, an All-Pro, and the QB of a legendary team. I do think he needs one more MVP/OPOY/All-Pro type season to absolutely solidify himself a spot. The one thing that could keep him out is if his play continues to be ugly moving forward.
Young, but likely will make it
Josh Allen: His play is absolutely amazing but playing like Superman has its consequences. I worry he takes too many hits and it will lead to him having too short of a career to do what he needs to make the Hall. However, he has already won an MVP, is one of the most gifted QBs we have ever seen, and likely will retire with the most rushing TDs ever by a QB. I think he’ll likely do enough to get in.
Joe Burrow: He is a gamer and a winner. I think the Bengals will win at least one Super Bowl and he’ll have many individual accolades. He’s also the only active QB who has shown he can beat Mahomes when it counts. It’s just about staying healthy.
Justin Herbert: I think his floor is a Dan Marino type career where his team lets him down but he puts up all time numbers. If he can even win one Super Bowl, I think he goes down as a Top 10 to 15 QB ever. Jim Harbaugh will only help him.
Missing Out
Matthew Stafford: I don’t get the Hall buzz for Stafford. He has made two Pro Bowls, never been an All-Pro, never been considered a Top 5 QB, and never won a major award. He’s out.
