In response to Gabriel P about every QB who has won multiple Super Bowls being in the Hall of Fame. You are incorrect. Jim Plunkett won multiple Super Bowls and is not in the Hall of Fame. Get your facts right. And George Vreeland Hill is right about Eli Manning. Manning should not even be in a Hall of Fame discussion.
Absent the question of the process, what finalists didn't make it, and the number inducted, the class of 2026 was a great class. Unfortunately, all of the former ultimately mars and undercuts everything.
