It is all perception....Wilson fell into a perfect storm...Is he elite because of that?

I am neither. Why are these the only two options? And I don't see that Russell Wilson has cheated or done anything improper. He appears, from the outside, to play hard, play faster than and have his head in the game. He needs to keep doing what he's doing for longer, and if he does he'll be considered elite. Three years is just not long enough.
As far as the HOF goes, Bengals players get knocked down 3 or 4 rungs in the voting just because. Munoz was just so good that the Bengals penalty wasn't even a speed bump when it came to his voting. Kenny Anderson and Ken Riley both belong in the hall, but you and I both know that neither are likely to ever make it. Might have to die first or something like that.
Now, if they had won that SB, the HOF voting might be different and I'm guessing it would be.
Dan Marino never won a SB, but he was just so good that he's in the hall anyways. Plus, he didn't play for the Bengals.
