Alright, enough.

Let’s make new rules right now. You have to play more than one game before you are declared a sure Hall of Famer.

You have to have more than one bad game before your career is declared dead.

You have to be able to play at least some games where you’re just average, even though you have been one of the all-time greats.

Three simple rules. Let’s start with those.

Yet after week one of the NFL season, you’d have thought Robert Griffin III didn’t have to play another game before going directly to Canton. It was a giant mistake for the Colts to pick Andrew Luck over him in the draft.

One game? Maybe I’m overstating, but the sporting media (electronic as well as print) went a bit overboard, I thought, when Griffin was spectacular in the Redskins’ opening victory and Luck was just average in the Colts’ opening loss.

Of course, there was a week two…you know, death, taxes and week two.

Griffin suddenly threw an interception and the Redskins lost. Luck threw two TD passes and no interceptions and the Colts won.

Even that was overshadowed by Peyton Manning, one of the game’s all-time quarterbacks. Following a good first week coming off a year’s layoff from neck surgery, Manning looked under-armed in a three-interception performance - in the first quarter - against Atlanta.

Suddenly, he was too old and too close to the surgery to be any good. He was the guy the Colts let go so they could sign Luck, and in one week, the Colts’ luck went from bad to good.

I’m assuming there are many more changes of heart to come.

How about letting the season play out, at least for Manning, who has already given us so much? For Griffin and Luck, how about letting the next 10-15 years play out? If it works out, they’ll be joining Manning on that pedestal soon enough.
