The issue is, I mean, fat Phil rivers is sort of a, he's a great story right now, but he's also a harbinger for all these guys in their prime right now, which is, um,

All of you guys are not getting Lombardi trophies.

Marino, you talk about one of one, and there was Fran Tarkenton and Jim Kelly, but somehow Dan Marino is by far and away the singular figure of like, boy, sad, sad thing for all of his greatness.

He never got that one Lombardi.

Guess what?

That's going to be true for Lamar Jackson and or Josh Allen and or Joe Burrow.

Do you think C.J.

Stroud's never getting one?

Brock Purdy?

Trevor Lawrence?

What about if Matthew Stafford does it?

That's one less Lombardi than all those names I just ran off for you have available to them.

It's going to be really weird, bottom line, in about a decade from now, how many of these guys you say, oh, you got to give them a gold jacket.

Are we still going to be singing that song if these guys don't get Lombardi's?

I think that is the cut line for how everybody can't make the Hall of Fame.

So that is going to be the applied standard.

Is it not?

It's not going to be based on their statistics, ultimately.

It's wild, and the guy we also didn't mention yet is Justin Herbert.

He's another character who I think people sort of said, well, eventually he'll get one.
