The math that cannot be squared is that, strictly as a head coach, Belichick hasn't really achieved anything significant, independent of Tom Brady. And he's had a lot of years to try. Every team he's coached with any other QB has simply not done anything great.

Quick, name one signature Philip Rivers moment.

And Philip Rivers not even being mentioned says it all, really. I agree with this assessment overall, but I feel more bullish about Eli's chances, because I think the NFL would love another Manning in the Hall.

In an era when the Patriots consistently lapped the field, the Steelers were the next-most successful team for most of Roethlisberger's career. Matty Ice's most memorable career moment is the meme of all memes. Philip Rivers spent his entire career accumulating B+ stats and achieving nothing whatsoever of note.
