I would disagree, and say that if you separated the two parts - Super Bowls vs. individual accolades and numbers - the bulk of HoF resumes for QBs are built on the latter. P. Manning, Favre, Brees would have been in even without Super Bowl victories, similar to Marino, Moon and Fouts.

Guys like Aikman - and eventually Eli - may not be in the Hall if their teams won a single SB. But they didn't, and they have three SB MVPs between them (individual accolade).

Stafford will most likely get in, but I can't see him being first-ballot because his team won a Super Bowl. If there's a recent comp, it's probably Roethlisberger, for whom I'm sure there's already a thread about.
