His stretch of greatness has been just as impressive as Koufax in my opinion and nobody questions him being a HOFer.

I'm not quite sure why everyone gushes SO much over him. He's pitched for GOOD teams, he faces a pitcher 50-60 PA's a year, National League, and how about his playoff numbers:
W L W-L% ERA G GS IP H R ER HR BB SO
1 5 .167 5.12 11 8 51.0 45 32 29 6 18 58
It's like that band that is phenomenal at making albums (The Doors, Zeppelin as a couple examples)
You see them live Morrison was drunk and Zeppelin hardly ever played that great of a show.
Studio albums (Kershaw regular season awesome with his favorable variables)
Live (playoffs not so much)
