Crybaby Rivers is not HOF material. Never did anything in the playoffs when the chips were down.

Shortly after Philip Rivers announced his retirement, Hall of Fame selector Ron Borges wrote this article about Rivers' chances at Canton: https://www.si.com/nfl/talkoffame/state-your-case/is-philip-rivers-hof-worthy

"More damning, at least when the issue is 'first-ballot' status is this: In 17 seasons he was never once voted All-Pro, meaning he was never once seen as the best quarterback in the game. Although he made eight Pro Bowls, it was never as the starter. He was not an all-decade selection, either. So unless there was a proliferation of 'first-ballot' Hall of Famers in those 17 seasons like never before in the 100-year history of the game, I suggest you pump the brakes on the 'first-ballot' talk."

"Philip Rivers had an outstanding career but, in the end, was it a Hall of Fame career? It doesn't look like it from here."
