Does the name insinuate that people should take Kurt Warner's arena football achievements into consideration for his ballot into the HOF next year? If so, I think he is a no questions asked 1st time eligible HOFer. Thoughts?
That and when healthy he led two teams to the Superbowl.I think he goes in 1st ballot because of numerous factors beyond just his playing.
He is the Jim Plunkett of our era....and he was a pro bowler at 38, and was still playing well at retirement.
Silliness.Does the name insinuate that people should take Kurt Warner's arena football achievements into consideration for his ballot into the HOF next year? If so, I think he is a no questions asked 1st time eligible HOFer. Thoughts?
If that's the case, why isn't it called the "NFL Hall of Fame"?Silliness.
Just as lame as including Ichiros' hits in Japan. It's a substandard league. CFL, NFL Europe, USFL....the list goes on.
Jim Plunkett is not in HOF. And Plunkett won 2 Super Bowls. Kurt will likely get in first ballot but there will be lots of debate.I think he goes in 1st ballot because of numerous factors beyond just his playing.

Fair enough.If that's the case, why isn't it called the "NFL Hall of Fame"?
All of those other leagues may be substandard in general but it doesn't mean the players who excelled should be disregarded.
Do you really want to play semantics to make your point?Fair enough.
Lets make sure we include high school coaches with deserving win totals as they are paid professionals.
Yeah, just being a smart a**.Do you really want to play semantics to make your point?
The AFL, WFL, USFL, CFL, NFLE and many other professional leagues have played a part in professional football's history. Why shouldn't they be a part of the HOF?
I suppose it is tough to figure out who deserves to get in but Walker is a good example. Not a HOF career on his own but what he did in the USFL and the trade from the Cowboys to Vikings that helped build a dynasty both somehow should be a part of the "fame" part of the Hall.Yeah, just being a smart a**.
The only issue is picking and choosing who gets consideration and for what. If a guy can have success in several leagues that's cool but what does that mean?
Only guys who were great at the NFL level would garner consideration anyway....guys like Hershal Walker, Warner, Moon ect are pretty rare.
Maybe those leagues deserve their own small sections in the hall?
Yeah Walker kind of jumped out to me as well, interesting career.I suppose it is tough to figure out who deserves to get in but Walker is a good example.

Kind of like Bo Jackson. He didn't do quite enough for a HOF career, but there's no way he shouldn't be in the HOF somewhere.Yeah Walker kind of jumped out to me as well, interesting career.
Yeah good one. Real bummer both his careers were shortened.Kind of like Bo Jackson. He didn't do quite enough for a HOF career, but there's no way he shouldn't be in the HOF somewhere.
Some guys just transcend. I was never a Raiders fan but I'd tune in to watch Bo.Yeah good one. Real bummer both his careers were shortened.
