Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman is almost surely headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when his career comes to a wrap, but he feels that the bar to get into Canton has been set too low. After the Los Angeles Rams‘ Super Bowl 56 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, many people were quick to declare Matthew Stafford as a lock for the Hall of Fame. Sherman, however, doesn't believe Stafford's case is nearly as strong as people are making it out to be. The star DB took to social media to share his side of things and detail why he thinks Stafford hasn't done enough to wear a gold jacket.

Sherman raises some valid points in his arguments, referencing Stafford's lack of accolades throughout his career. Stafford has made just one Pro Bowl across his 13 seasons, has zero All-Pro's, zero MVPs, and only just won his first playoff games this season. Of course, that resulted in his first Super Bowl ring, too.

While Stafford has the ring, Sherman compares him to Matt Ryan, who fell just short of winning a ring of his own, but boasts significantly better accolades than Stafford. Ryan has been to four Pro Bowls, won the 2016 MVP, and is a one-time First-Team All-Pro selectee. Additionally, he's led his team to the playoffs in six separate seasons, whereas Stafford has reached the postseason just four times.

When one fan argued that Stafford playing for the Lions gave him a less than fair chance to achieve success, Sherman was ready with the perfect retort. The Buccaneers cornerback cited Calvin Johnson's six Pro Bowl appearances and three First-Team All-Pro selections.

Stafford's Hall of Fame candidacy will be one of the most intriguing talking points throughout the remainder of his career. Winning another ring with the Rams would surely put him in HOF status, but until then, Sherman is out on Stafford in Canton.
