Yes to Kurt Warner. McNabb needs a few more good years and deep playoff runs. No to the rest of them.

warner should be in ....he has a superbowl, 2 mvp's and the only quarterback to go to superbowls with two diff teams.

harrison and barber i would say no without seeing stats, but will hold judgment till i can actually look at career numbers.

holmes and davis got cut short by injuries and the rest i just dont think did enough. if mcnabb wins a sb next year then id put him in

Warner for sure, Urlacher maybe, Harrison maybe. Harrison was dirty as hell but he's the only 30 int/30 sack guy ever.

Kurt Warner is probably the only one that deserves to be in.

I'd vote for Vinny as well but it would be strictly a homer vote.

Keyshawn Johnson - no
Terrell Davis - no
Kurt Warner - marginal
Vinny Testaverde - no
Donovan McNabb - most underrated QB of the lifetime of anyone under age 30
Priest Holmes - no
Brian Urlacher - no
Rodney Harrison - regrettably, yes
Tiki Barber - explain below
Drew Bledsoe - no

My feeling on Tiki Barber is this. The great players are the ones who not only dominated the game, but they did everything they could to enable their team to have success. In the case of Tiki Barber, he was a big enough problem in the locker room his last two years that it caused a huge rift; the Giants underachieved as a result.

Barber was productive but a cancer. He left, the Giants handed the running back reins to a bunch of lightly-regarded unknowns, and they go win a Super Bowl. They're a much better team without him than they were with him.

If I had a HOF vote, I'd be not voting for Terrell Owens for the same reason; every locker room he's ever been in dissolves into pro-TO and anti-TO factions and the team underachieves. EVERY team he's ever been on has underachieved. Production be damned, these two guys do more to prevent their teams from having success than any other that I can think of in recent history.

Just so you know, you voted no for Terrell DAVIS, not OWENS. Maybe its still a no for you, but Davis won two SBs, so he certainly wasnt a cancer.

Warner and Harrison.

How about Lorenzo Neal? Stats aren't great, but he was an awesome FB.

Yes, yes I did. Terrell Owens is a cancer who divides locker rooms, Terrell Davis was not. Terrell Owens' teams have never won anything, Terrell Davis' teams did.

I'd still vote no on Terrell Davis. His entire case was built around, "Yes, he had a short career, but look how dominant he was!" If there was no waiting period, he'd have gone in.

And then, as Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Reuben Droughns, and Mike Bell put up huge seasons, we'd all be kicking ourselves and questioning how we could have been so blind.

I'm not pickin' at you GBlock but I don't think that he's the only QB to go to SB's on two different teams.
