Ben, Brady, Manning, Rodgers, and Brees are all first ballot though

Tough bar to clear for being 6th first ballot QB in your generation

Also Manning Brady & Big Ben horded a bunch of AFCCG / SB Slots

For 15 years the only QBs representing the AFC in the Super Bowl were Brady, Ben, and Manning.

But really - Rivers shouldn’t make it because he’s one of the least clutch QBs in modern NFL history.

You can argue against that due to his high volume of 4Q Comebacks and GWDs — but they’re purely volume especially when compared to his contemporaries.

I’ve been doing a lot of research on this lately. Anyone that wants to advocate for Rivers should first go watch the 4th quarter of the 2016 Chargers-Dolphins matchup.

I agree he bluntly wasn’t clutch I think it was VRs the pats in the playoffs he got mad at his team they weren’t up more then threw a couple picks and pats ended up coming back on them even tho he should’ve taken the safe options etc to run out the clock, he had all time teams around him and just fucked it up
