2. So was Kenny Anderson....

Broadway Joe does not belong in Canton. Memorabilia from his SB win belongs. But Joe himself, in the pros at least, was pretty mediocre.

Eli Manning may get pushed into the HOF because Strahan and the defense beat the Patriots in two Superbowls. But another mediocre QB, with mediocre numbers for his era, from NY who had media hype is just like Namath.

Neither are worthy of the HOF.

Kenny Anderson was the best statistically of his era. Higher completion percentage, QB rating, better interception percentage, TD to int ratio, etc. but he played on good teams who couldn't get past the great Steelers and Raiders teams. When he got to the SB, the coaches didn't run the best RB they had behind the greatest left tackle on the goal line. But that's another rant
