I think he is well on his way, but induction into the Hall of Fame is not in the bag just yet. In spite of winning three Super Bowls and the MVPs that go along with them, he still has a long career ahead of him. Membership in the Hall of Fame is earned by putting up great statistics over a long period of time. If he were to retire today, I doubt he would be inducted any time soon, if ever. Who knows what the future holds. If he stays healthy and is surrounded by a good team, he should be assured a spot in the Hall.

I agree with most of your list. Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick are in tomorrow if they'd be allowed to be voted in. I think Bruschi doesn't make it because he didn't put up eye-popping numbers because that's not the nature of the New England Patriots. Some may make an argument that neither did Tom Brady, but he has the Super Bowls, and thats what quarterbacks are judged by. Vinatieri, although he's now a Colt, is a lock because he just has a habit of kicking his teams to Super Bowl victories. Ty Law's longevity and interceptions gets him a ticket to Canton. Willie McGinest probably gets in based on his sack total. Rodney Harrison SHOULD be a Hall of Famer because he is one of the best safties ever. There are other guys who are/have been Patriots that may be great players, but the system New England runs on both sides of the ball doesnt allow players to rack up stats, which is what the Hall of Fame voters and fantasy football lovers look at. If Richard Seymour can finish w/ith 100+ career sacks, he'd be in as well.

If Tom Brady retired from football today, he would most certainly be eligible for the Hall of Fame. Being that he is so young, I don't think he would go his first time around despite his accomplishments, but he is a future Hall of Famer.

Absolutely, he'll easily get in on the first ballot as soon as he's eligible, just based on what he's done so far. 3 Super bowl rings. You know which other QBs have 3 super bowl rings? Only Montana, Bradshaw, and Aikman -- all of whom waltzed in on the 1st ballot also. It's a done deal.

Yeah. He's still pretty young and has won three Superbowls and has people calling the Patriots the dynasty of the 2000's

He`s not the best QB but with 3 rings I would think it would be a no brainer

all he has to do is put of okay numbers to be in. look at aikman 3 superbowl wins, but can u tell me how many big records he holds. just put up okay numbers with those 3 bowls he has got and he's a first time ballot

Yes - he has won a lot of games at a young age, especially in the playoffs.

it's really to early to say. But he only has to build top ten stats in the regulars season and he'll be a lock. He already has the rings
