So with the Chiefs releasing Hunt does that hurt them?

He's most certainly a better QB than Eli. Two SB rings be damned. Those aren't things that are won by one person.
That's not to say Eli wasn't integral but he didn't do it on his own, and Rivers didn't fail to do it on his own.

Agreed. But isn't it the team accomplishments that are valued most when considering HOF eligibility and a QB's legacy? Just putting up big individual stats and never leading their team over the hump to a Super Bowl generally leaves a QB on the outside looking in like Dan Marino.

Here is a hint....there really are not too many...maybe Ken Anderson. The list of HOF QBs with great stats and no rings is a Helluva lot longer than the list of snubs.

Dan Marino
Marino played in one Super Bowl (XIX) and the Dolphins lost to the 49ers in 1985. No quarterback has completed more passes in a career than Marino, who retired following the 1999 season with 4,967 completions.
He led the league six times in completions. Marino ranks second in yards gained (61,361) and third in touchdown passes (420). It didn't do him any good as far as winning a Super Bowl.

I've made the Marino/Rivers comparison many times based on their career stats- when people put Rivers into the upper echelon with the very best contemporary like PManning, Brady, Brees. And I also said Rivers needs to get a Super Bowl to be a lock for HoF consideration. Guess you didn't Google far enough to know Marino DID go to the Super Bowl...
