Kurt Warner & Terrell Davis get in. I guess longevity of excellence is no longer part of the criteria? If you’re likable, you’re in.

Sometimes u hear, he’s a Hall of Famer on and off the field. It rarely is true. However, it couldn’t be more true for Kurt Warner.#hofsoon

How is TO not in the HOF yet the most overrated QB in NFL history made it. Kurt Warner had Holt Bruce & Faulk then Fitzgerald & Boldin. @NFL
