Will Kurt Warner make the Hall of Fame?

[Ryanwb]

Has he done enough to qualify? Keeping in mind his accuracy rating, his two MVP awards his Super Bowl MVP and career completion percentage.

Does he have enough personal achievements at this point to possibly make it or does he need to be a starter for a few more seasons?

 

[Shane]

I say hes in.

 

[black]

Does he qaulify? Yes.

It would depend on when he was eligible is when. You have to take in the factor of your retirement class. For instance..


Farve retired this year, along with Sapp. Strahan isn't too far a possibility to join them. That isn't shabby at all for a class. But Sapp would get the snub IMO, because he isn't a record holder. Does Sapp deserve the HOF? yes. I know there are 5 or 6 that make it every year, but so many don't make it. Some it takes a long time.


Yes Warner is a HOFer, and still has some years in him, as a backup.

If Matt goes down again this year I think Kurt will lock up his spot.

He had 3 great years 1999 - 2001 then was injured for several years and lost his job to Bulger. Did nothing with the NY Giants and came to the Cards.
IMO borderline for the Hall of Frame. But he could squeeze in.

I agree, I think he's close and could possibly get in, but not in his first try. It would also depend on his retirement class.

Don't underestimate the likeability factor. Ever since he stormed onto the nfl scene he's been a feel good story. That will carry through to when he is up for induction.

I think he's on the cusp. One more solid season would put him over the top, IMO.

 

[Mitch]

IMO, he's a lock. Any player who was the most prolific QB in the league for 3-4 years...and won a Super Bowl and was the MVP...would garner immediate consideration.

Of course, if he leads the Cardinals to a Super Bowl Championship, he'd be a first ballot lock!

 

[82CardsGrad]

There might not be a bigger Warner fan on this board than me... However, I just can't see how he could get into the HOF for simply being great during a 3 year stretch... Every other QB in the HOF showed greater sustainability - in many cases MUCH greater sustainability - over their career versus Warner's 3 year stint...
I'd love to see a guy like Kurt in Canton, but I really don't believe it will happen...

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I think he is borderline.

Add to the fact that Warner was torching a lot of records at that time and I think he'll be in eventually.

The HoF committee has stated they've over inducted offense lately, there's going to be a defensive swing back for a few years.

That will also be a determining factor. But like everyone else has said, it depends on his competition.

 

[Shogun]

Nope. Sorry he doesn't cut it.

Hall of Very Good.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Not a chance.

This is what I think. You know, I'm not sure why we're talking about this again...

Think of it though. We have 4 potential hall of famers RIGHT NOW on this team. We've got to make the playoffs right?!

Because a lot of members didn't know that thread dealt with this topic. Looking at the title I'd guess it was a Moss/Brady discussion that melted down into either a Rackers Sucks or Graves Sucks thread. No reason to think Warner would even be in there.

 

[Skkorpion]

I confess I never really pay much attention to hall of fame stuff. It may matter to the players, not to me.

MVP stuff is even worse. NFL football is the consummate team game. To me, there is no such thing as an MVP of a league, season, team or even a single game. The entire concept is repugnant.

Pro Bowl stuff is worse yet. Making the pro bowl entails being popular and generating big individual statistics. Both not necessarily relevant to winning. The resulting bonuses are often a team onus and tend to make players resentful and guardedly jealous of playing time and personal playmaking opportunities.

 

[Spielman]

No, he won't. (I said this last season too.)

Barring his getting enough starts to go well over the 30,000 yard mark in his remaining years, and/or somehow winning another Super Bowl, he just doesn't have the career accomplishments to warrant it. He's got three (2.75, really) great years, and a few decent partial years. That's just not enough at the QB position.

I love the guy, and if he got to do his career over again, playing in the NFL the whole time, and getting the opportunities of a highly drafted QB, I'm quite certain he'd have been a HOFer. But as is? Won't happen.

 

[ARZCardinals]

He could get in because of ONE MAJOR ITEM

PERSONALITY

He's been an Amazing leader on and off the field.

 

[Totally_Red]

It's possible, but it really depends on the next 2-3 years. If Matt goes down, and he plays like he did last season, he's got a shot. He played at an HOF level for three years. That is not enough IMO.

 

[vince56]

polls, people. don't ask a question and not post a poll

 

[abomb]

Yes.

 

[82CardsGrad]

3 years of good to great performance...

Has averaged 8 games a season since 2001...

LOVE Kurt. But is ain't gonna happen...

 

[abomb]

I wonder if there are any NFL MVPs of the past say 30 years, that arent in the HOF.

 

[pogoowner]

I don't think he makes it.
