Most HoF QBs have multiple SB wins except Marino, notably, and Favre (1). But both hold or held multiple league-wide records, which is not even close to true for Wilson.
It feels like a really, really weak case.

Forget first ballot. That looks like he has no case for the HoF at all if he continues at that rate.
Most people fairly or unfairly consider him a passenger when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. People at the very least indirectly blame him for the loss in the second one. Not only has he not won the MVP but he has not even got an MVP vote though that may change if he comes back to his best in the futre. Finally, no disrespect to Matt Hasselback, Dave Krieg, and Jim Zorn, Wilson holding all the franchise passing records says more about them, the era they played in and the era that Wilson played even if he may have been constrained by the Schneider/Carroll regime.
