I hate to say it but this would be a huge win if we can get out of his contract. . the cap savings alone next year would be enough to bring in another true WR1 / very good WR2. . .

The issue is not that they are considered but that if you don’t have a SB win its looked at as a huge negative. In some ranking systems a SB win places a QB above other QBs who are in fact better QBs strictly going off of stats.

QB HOF status needs to be disconnected from how many superbowls they’ve won. No other position is tied to it and frankly some QBs that are in the HOF because of it were in part carried there by their team.
