Most of the Seahawks and former Seahawks who shared their thoughts about the Super Bowl on Twitter were congratulatory. Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett, Quandre Diggs and Doug Baldwin all went out of their way to praise Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his teammates on their win. Former Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman was relatively quiet during the game, only sharing his well-wishes for Odell Beckham Jr. after his injury, which we now know was a torn ACL.
The morning after, Sherman responded to a tweet from former teammate and current NFL Network analyst Mike Robinson – who claimed Stafford’s career numbers help his Hall of Fame argument.
Why?!? His numbers don’t back it up. Stafford’s numbers back up his HOF argument. https://t.co/KEePkd1Ya5

Sherman disagreed.
I’m gonna talk about it on the podcast but the HOF bar is incredibly low now. Like a participation trophy. No all decade team. No All pro. No MVP. 1 Pro bowl. Not even MVP of the SB. Never considered the best in any year he played. At least M. Ryan has an MVP https://t.co/TDQn8sJZfO

Sherman kept at it, debating several other players, analysts and random fans on Stafford’s bonafides for Canton.
Great question

Show me the accolades. Megatron was in Detroit. Made pro bowls and all pros.

All Pro isnt fan voted. Neither is all decade team. Its just the best of the best during that time

You could. Has 6 Pro bowls. But you could def

He has neither

What do you think? Does Stafford have a strong enough case now that he has a ring, or is he not a Hall of Famer yet?
