Warner is a snub for sure, he belongs. Think of the different perception if he won the SB to the Patriots (spygate) and he lost a game to Pitt that he easily could have won too.

How about a degree? Testaverde attended the University of Miami for FIVE years and failed to get a degree in his major, Physical Education. That's a more serious transgression than Pete Rose's gambling..... (just kidding)

He actually surprised me by what a decent pro career he had, since I'm a believer a good QB has to have pretty quick wits.

Kurt is a very interesting case. Out of his 11 years, he only played full seasons five times, but those were by far his best years. If Kurt doesn't make it in, it will be due to his longevity issues. As this linked article states, he passed the eye test with me but I sense an incomplete resume.

That alone should keep him out. Almost a joke to even consider him.

I think in every sport, way to many people get into the hall of fame. I would never in a million years look at Eli a Manning as a HoFer.

Great article.

Warner should be in. I think all doubts were answered when he took, of all franchises, the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl. His career is probably the biggest Cinderella story in all of sports. Surprised there hasn't been a movie about it yet.
