will warner make the HOF
Warner certainly goes down in the rams HOF, but will he ultimately be enshrined in canton? I believe he has very little shot of making it. From a peak performance standpoint, he was as good as anyone ever in terms of statistics, leadership, toughness, accuracy, mvp awards and even a title.

However, two major factors work against him. First, longevity. He just didnt do it over a long enough period of time. His star was really three years long if you think about it. Second, it will always be said that he was at least partially a function of the system, with great players around him. A final factor is that he did nothing while in new york, the media hype capital.

Personally, i dont think warner was ever the same after he broke his thumb against the eagles in week one of the 2001 season. His deep ball was never as good. This was one of the toughest guys in the history of the position and one of the very brightest. However, given that he had three great years and then a couple of decent ones, i dont think that qualifies him to be an NFL hall of famer.

ramming speed to all
