In the wake of the Rams Super victory, former Seahawk Michael Robinson stated on “Good Morning Football” that Matthew Stafford is destined to become an NFL Hall of Famer.

Matthew Stafford HOF resume is unimpressive to Sherman

Robinson‘s former Seahawks teammate Richard Sherman vehemently disagreed with his statement. Sherman tweeted that the Hall of Fame’s bar would have to be significantly lowered to accommodate Stafford. Aside from his only Pro Bowl appearance, Stafford doesn’t have an MVP, an SB MVP, an All-Pro, or an All-decade team selection. Additionally, he mentioned Stafford wasn’t considered one of the best players in any of his seasons in the league. Evidently, Stafford’s Hall of Fame credentials doesn’t impress Sherman.

Later on, Will Brinson of CBS Sports joined the crowd to show his support for Stafford’s induction into the HOF. He tweeted Stafford has a strong chance to make it to the HOF if he plays for three or four more seasons. Additionally, he emphasized it would not affect his candidacy even if he didn’t receive an All-Pro selection during those years. As a result, Sherman objected to Will’s tweet, and they argued back and forth constantly.
