Same HoF class as Drew Brees (although Brees should get the bigger bust in the hall).

Depends on which HOF you're talking about. The Pro Football HOF in Canton Ohio? Probably not. But a HOF for goofuses who are pretty nice and entertaining and dumb and mostly good at football? First ballot.

Not only is Rivers 5th in career passing yardage and 5th in TD passes and 8th in career wins, he had an Iron Man thing going on too:

Jim Kelly is in. Philip Rivers is getting in.

Which guy would you rather have as your QB?

Hall of Fame should consider gif-ability and seeing as Phil is the GOAT in that category, he deserves the gold jacket.

When a QB is bad but it doesn't fit the narrative then it's the fault of the players and coaches around him wait are we talking about Phil I thought this was a Romo thread

Yeah, Mr. Rivers has heard that comparison before plenty of times. Excerpts from a 2017 article below (the stats are even more in favor of Rivers now):


Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has heard those of you out there comparing his career to Tony Romo's.

"We're not deaf or blind to those comparisons," Rivers told KLSD-AM in San Diego this week (via ESPN.com). "I've heard that many times over the years. I think from a statistical standpoint yes, and from the standpoint that neither one of us were able to -- at least so far on my end -- have gotten our teams to a championship.

"But both of us have been a part of a lot of good teams, and a lot of wins. And we both started the same year when we took over the reins. I see the similarities. I've always kind of respected Tony from afar."

Rivers is already more than 10,000 yards ahead of Romo in all-time passing yards, has 66 more touchdown passes, 19 more wins and three more playoff appearances, but has a similar drive to that of a late-career Peyton Manning. Rivers is approaching the cultural minutiae that comes with a new coaching staff and seems vested in the new message being passed around by first-year head coach Anthony Lynn.

Philip Rivers aka “no rings rivers” as the hit comic Draw Play (the one where everyone got avatars from for whatever reason? I dunno) calls him is a hall of fame quarterback and represents a legacy of “good but not quite good enough” that perfectly encapsulates the meaning of being a fan of the 5th most popular NFL team in Los Angeles.

I mean what did either of them win?

Romo was more entertaining than Rivers by miles, but neither should sniff the HOF

If Tom Br*dy, noted piece of poo poo and fuckhead, is going in.

Then by that standard Philip should already be in.
