He will get his own wing in the HOF and much like Brown himself, it will only be open twice a year.

The thing witrh Cunningham is that one could argue he revolutionized the QB position. Without the likes of him, players like McNabb and Vick may not have made the NFL.

One could argue....

loved buddy ryan too...somebody say 46? booya (dont quote me)

I think everyone should buy a Cunningham jersey immediately to help balance this injustice.

Negro, please....

Stabler won a Super Bowl, Cunningham didn't. As much as I would love to see Randall in the HOF, this isn't about race.

randall>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>both

Roethlisberger won a Super Bowl with a 22 passer rating. Trent Dilfer is also a "world" champion.

I think winning a Super Bowl is important for the legacy of great quarterbacks, but it doesn't turn an average or worse QB into a great one automatically.

I agree 100%. My argument was stating that there was a difference between the two, and that most likely weighed into it.

Randall won the MVP how many times? Personally, I think if you are the best player in the entire game for a year, you should probably be a near-automatic admission into the HoF... yes, I know that includes Favre favre FAVRUH and Kurt "I married a wire-haired mangoblin" Warner, but if you're that big a part of NFL history, then...

Anyway, farg Ken Stabler.

Favre should most definately be a HOF'er. If he would have retired when he when he should have, he'd probably be on the next ballot. Warner on the other hand, I dunno. He was a flash in the pan imo. Yes, he put up incredible numbers and broke a couple records I believe but his greatness was not sustained over an extended period of time. Going back to 1999 he's spent more total time on the bench than he has as a starter. And he hasn't been a good starter since 2001.

The HOF should be reserved strictly for players who were among the best in the league during their playing days and were able to sustain that superior level of play over an extended period of time.

A runningback having say 5 or 6 great years of football should get into the hall of fame because runningbacks have such a short life expectency in the NFL.

A quarterback should have to achieve greatness and maintain that level for probably at least 9 or 10 years before getting HOF consideration.

Brad Johnson should not go into the HOF because even though he's been a very good QB, at no time during his career was he ever really considered among the game's best QB's. He's had some excellent years, but every year he's been in the league there's probably been a half dozen quarterbacks who would be chosen before him.

Testaverde's another one who I don't think should get in even though he's thrown for over 40,000 yards now. He was never really a premier NFL QB.

This is a never ending debate though and I don't even have a vote on who gets in. So I'm going to stop now.
