Oh, I would hope so.
I mean, look at the numbers.
The only quarterback who's won two championships who's not in the Hall of Fame, Joe, is Jim Plunkett.
And Ben got to a third.
So I don't think β I mean, and he's, what, top ten in passing yards all time?
I mean, the numbers are there.
It's just a matter of do you think he's a first ballot guy?
I think Ben should get in, too, on the first ballot.
Well, I mean, Ben was so much more consistent and better during the regular season.
And I know we judge guys on championships, and they both have two.
So, you know, maybe Eli's are more high-profile because they were upsets and they came against Tom Brady.
I'll give him that.
But there was a graphic that somebody put up with Ben, Breeze, and Eli this morning of their pro football reference resumes.
Like, Eli had a .500 record during the regular season.
Mm-hmm.
And he had some really bad years, you know, years where they were, they actually did bench him.
They, you know, they moved on from him.
The Steelers never got to that point.
So I don't think there's any.
comparison at all between Ben and Eli but I do understand the process and Eli's been retired for a few more years so maybe he does get in before Ben but I don't I don't think he should well voters hold it against Ben his off the field issues early in his career suspended for six reduced to four uh any of that do you think from voters well you're not allowed to bring that stuff up in the voting process well how does it figure in with Antonio then
