The thing is I think the actual line is Eli, since I get the sense that's more polarizing and closer to 50-50 (maybe more like 40 in favor-60 against), whereas I feel the Ryan-Roethlisberger-Rivers area is a more secure tier where at least 2 if not all 3 of them will get in eventually even if it's the "wait 10 years in the backlog" kind of induction. They love to have QBs in their classes wherever they can get them and they're all defensible cases.
