Comments on: Can you name the last non-first ballot HOF Quarterback? http://www.footballperspective.com/can-you-name-the-last-non-first-ballot-hof-quarterback/ NFL History and Stats Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:50:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: David http://www.footballperspective.com/can-you-name-the-last-non-first-ballot-hof-quarterback/#comment-14098 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:50:38 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=8210#comment-14098 I didn’t guess the answer, and didn’t even get close, but I was struck that of the last eight QBs to be voted to the HoF, one of them is not like the others. Warren Moon, on that list, sticks out like a sore thumb, as having been very good, but not as good as his contemporaries that were also voted in – in my memory/perception.

Is this fair? Reasonable? Does that mean he isn’t a HoF QB, just because he was playing in a very strong period for QBs? Is he the cut-off point? Would he look like less of an outlier if Stabler & Anderson (to pick two examples) were also in the Hall?

I think it might be because, in my head, it’s very hard to pick between Elway, Kelly and Marino, let alone Montana & Young. Aikman is a little bit of a special case, since regardless of his skills as a QB, his resume meant that he was always going into the HoF

Not sure if this has been studied, but is a pick-6 any more the fault of a QB than a regular int? For instance, that pick-6 against Pittsburgh was a crazy play, but is all 100 yards of that really Warner’s fault?
