Ben is easily a 1st ballot HOFer
Bell is not a HOFer period. His prime may have been unmatched in his era. However, he fell off a steep cliff.
Brown has probably one of the greatest 3 year runs in the games history, but is not a 1st ballot HOF he may get in one day but it will be a looooong time. To say Ben isn't because he was 5th in his generation take a moment to realize in his career you have THE GREATEST QB of all time in Tom, a top 3 all time in Manning, a generational talent in Rodgers and statistically speaking top 3-5 all timer in Brees so Ben was in a very stacked era to be fair. Still won more SB titles than Bree's and Rodgers same amount as manning.

The amount of people saying Ben shouldn't get in because he was 5th best in his era…Manning, Rodgers, and Brees have only ever made it to one SB max minus Manning and has more SB wins than Rodgers or Brees. Get off your high horses and @njazrael71 start taking your pills because you're whack

Ben is easily number 1 on this list, only brady was more clutch. Only manning and Brady were better for longer.

People are smoking something real good to think Ben Rapistberger belongs as a 1st ballot HOF. If that's the case, we may as well have OJ Simpson's bust put back.

Sorry, Big Ben is not a first ballot Hall Of Famer. He never made an All-Pro team and didn't win MVP in either Super Bowl he was in. Was at best the 5th best QB of his era after Brady, Manning, Brees, and Rodgers.

You seriously dropped the ball on this list you have Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell ranked above Big Ben boggles my mind those wont even sniff the HOF while Ben will get in first try
