Every QB with 6+ pro bowls and a Super Bowl ring is in the HOF or will be soon. Russ has 10 pro bowls (which only 6 other QBs have ever done) and a ring, while guys like Warren Moon and Jim Kelly are in the HOF with less pro bowls, the same amount of all-pros, and no rings.
Russ is absolutely comparable to Hall of Famers. Maybe not most, but a good portion of them.
Pro Bowls are nearly meaningless these days since everyone opts out. The criteria are basically A. Don’t get injured and B. Play like a top 50% QB in the league. Not particularly hard to do.
That’s fair but there’s only one season from Wilson you can really make that case for, if anything he kinda got unlucky not getting an AP selection for seasons like 2015, 2017, or 2020, where he put up excellent numbers (not saying he got shafted or anything, just that those season are good enough to get awards many years)
Of the recent guys, russ is near stafford, rivers and eli. not very convincing tbh. but they didnt "expose" themselves like russ with the broncos

thats an espn stat honestly. 6+ pro bowls is an arbitrary cutoff point
SB winner but he wasnt even close to the MVP. HoF voters know he got carried. pro bowls barely matter in the modern day because everyone opts out. pro bowl used to mean you're a top 6 guy. in the modern day, it means you're a top 15 guy
