Philip Rivers has retired, but is he a Hall of Famer? Only one other HOF QB has a comparable resume

There are two quarterbacks who played a majority of their careers in the Super Bowl era, never made a Super Bowl but still made the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

One was Warren Moon, whose Hall of Fame resume was bolstered by great years in the Canadian Football League and five championships there.

That leaves one player whose HOF candidacy is most like Philip Rivers, who retired Wednesday. And, sadly for Los Angeles Chargers fans, it’s Dan Fouts.

Fouts put up great numbers and was a tremendous leader for a Chargers team that was very good but never got to the Super Bowl.
