He is a first ballot lock in the child producing HOF though.

I don't want to overstate it, but Pro Bowls should count for more than nothing. It's a reflection of how you're viewed by players and coaches. It's all part of the bigger story for a player's career. Eight times says something.
The QB's with more:
Brady 14
Manning 14
Brees 13
Favre 11
Unitas 10
Moon 9
Rodgers 9
Tarkenton 9
Van Brocklin 9
Elway 9
Marino 9
Obviously knock on Rivers is no Super Bowl. Never even played in the game. Other HOF QB's without a ring include Marino, Moon, Kelly, Fouts, Tarkenton.
The best QB's without a Super Bowl not in the HOF would maybe Ken Anderson or Testaverde. I'd put Rivers at a significant notch better than those two.
