But seriously, everyone go look up Aikmans stats.

Aikman had 5 seasons where he was >10% above league average QB Rating for that year (and 2 of >20%) compared to Namath's 0. He was also pretty darn accurate with 6 straight seasons of >20% above league average Completion%. He was absolutely a huge beneficiary of being on a great team that he didn't need to do much on during the regular season, his numbers are actually pretty darn impressive in the postseason... His regular season Comp%, YPG, and TD% are 61.5%, 199.6, and 3.5%.. his postseason numbers are 63.7%, 240.6, and 4.6%, with a 11-4 W-L record. His first Super Bowl win he threw 68.5% completion, 8 TD/0 INT, and had a 126.4 QB Rating in their 3 postseason games. In fact he only had 1 game with <101 QB Rating out of the 9 in their 3 SB postseasons. People love guys who shine on the big stage.

But mostly, regardless of the stats, you're just never going to have a QB who is the starter for 3 Lombardi wins not go to the HoF barring some serious off-the-field circumstances. Nick Foles wins 2 more and he'll go in too. Lol
