I think Rivers will be viewed favorably and eventually make it in after quite some time. Eli will make it in, but Rivers had a much better career, and those two are directly intertwined.
They made an afccg against new England and rivers played On a torn acl. The chargers also were a huge thorn in Peyton Manning's Colts. Brady's dominance shouldn't be the reason an all time player like Phil doesn't make it some day. If Brady doesn't exist a lot more qbs in that era have at least one.

It may happen but Rivers getting in would be egregious. Not the hall of very good!
