Namath also got into the HoF 22 years ago. Getting into the HoF is more difficult now and it will be even more difficult by the time Warner is eligible just due to who is in there now and the numbers they put up. Namath didn't have to be compared with Montana, Marino, or Elway. They raised the bar, and Manning is in the process of raising it even more.
Davis didn't really come close to getting into the HoF, he was in the top 25 semi finals, but he didn't even make it to the 17 finalists that the committee picked from.

I doubt that any Rams fan forgets Warner was older when he started or that his injuries started his downward spiral, that also has no bearing on whether he gets in or not.
Warner had the best year ever?? That's news to Dan Marino and Peyton Manning.
Also the difference between them is Marino kept on, and Manning keeps having great years, while Warner had 2 great years and 1 good year. Just not enough to get in the way the vote goes today.
Warner had a great run here, but unless he makes an amazing comeback somewhere else for a few years he won't get in.
