Is Big Ben A Hall of Fame Quarterback
Big Ben now has two Super Bowl rings. Although it can be argued that in the first Super Bowl the team as a whole played better than Big Ben in this Super Bowl Big Ben played farely well. So, I his career seems far from over, but does Big Ben seem like a Hall of Fame Quarterback?

1. Dude--- he's got at leat 10 years to go....
He's a winner and that's what counts. Hell---he might have 2 more rings before he retires.

2. If he were to retire tommorow it'd be borderline
Most wins in his first 5 seasons (51) than any other quarterback. 2 Super Bowl rings. Not enough time yet but he's on track.

I guess look at it if that was doubled. If he plays for 10 years, gets 102 wins (averaging over 10 wins per season), and 4 super bowl rings would he go to the hall of fame?

Probably.

4. I'd never bet on who they'd admit
The Pro Hall of Fame is a fickle bitch. Lot of good players not in there. Granted he's a quarterback and they love quarterbacks.

Still I'd never bet on who they admit or don't. Very few locks.

6. So far? Yes.
Sustaining that excellence will be the critical factor.

7. The guy's only been playing since 2004!
Let's give it a little more time before we start asking about his HOF status.

8. Yes.

He's only 26 and, especially the past two years, has 16 come from behind wins under his belt. He shines in the clutch, brilliant under 2 minutes. Not so much the two SB wins but his overall play and how he manages to lead the team and win the game.

Ben has a lot of years ahead of him to *hopefully* continue to play well. He is definitely a hall of fame quarterback.

9. No way
Far too early in his "career" to make that kind of call.

12. Not yet.
He needs to go to a few more pro bowls. He's only in his 3rd year.

13. Too soon to say. If he wins another SB and he's the MVP. . .
the odds would shift in his favor.

14. So far, no
He's definitely good, but he has the advantage of an excellent defense to help him win games.

15. Sadly, yes...he's a fool, not wearing a helmet while on a bike, and not
learning from it...this should be front-page news instead of michael Phelps enjoying himself....responsibly.
