Until refs can call RTP correctly, QBs should just play under flag-football rules. Seems every weak we see multiple weak-ass RTP calls where the QB was barely grazed yet the refs call it like they were murdered.

“Big Ben” eventual gets in. May not be first ballot but the guy was associated with winning and has 2 rings to his name.
Rivers has similar numbers but never making a SB appearance will likely be held against him (fair or not).
I think Ryan is a maybe, but not likely even with his MVP and SB appearance. Like Rivers, he’s in the Hall of Very Good.
I think Matt Stafford is a more interesting case than Ryan and Rivers. If he can string a few more healthy/winning seasons together I say he’s in. The ring gave a big boost to his resume.
Russ is another interesting case where had he not gone to Denver, he likely gets in. Denver has done nothing but hurt his legacy and even with his ring and second SB appearance, it’ll be interesting to see how voters treat his career.
Feels like no QB should be considered the top runner. McCaffrey and Brown stand out as the non-QBs.
If it is a QB I feel like Goff is getting shafted. Outside of a thought game against Baltimore the guy has been playing great all year. If Hurts, Mahomes, and Jackson are getting consideration no reason Goff shouldn’t be in the discussion with them.
Stroud is a rookie but his name also stands out, especially with his crazy TD:INT ratio.
Rodgers and Mahomes are locks.
Russ is a wild card. Had he called it a career in Seattle he likely gets in. The last year and a half in Denver have done a lot of damage to his legacy. Had he won two rings in Seattle, I’d say he would have been a lock even with recent Denver fiasco. But with one, who knows.
Stafford is another interesting name. Everyone uses the stupid “1 pro bowl appearance” against him, but the dude got shafted for years keeping the Lions semi-competitive (he threw for over 5k yards and 41 TDs in 2011 yet didn’t get voted to the pro bowl). His Super Bowl win was a big boost to his credentials, and he already is towards the top of most passing records. If he can get healthy and string together a few more winning seasons in LA before calling it quits I think he gets in (if Eli gets in, I don’t see how they don’t vote in Stafford).
Awesome, more terrible RTP calls.
