Steve Young dropped “obfuscates” in an interview with a sports blog. I need to go check a dictionary.

wilhelmreems Says:
But, I always think it’s really dim to argue against a player’s merits simply because he had talent around him.
that’s the crux of the argument. QB’s wouldn’t have numbers w/o WR’s, WR’s wouldn’t have numbers w/o QB’s.
RB’s wouldn’t have numbers w/o a good OL, OL gets shit on and forgotten either way.

Not really sure if you were arguing against me here or not. Nevertheless, I do agree that QBs need WRs (and vice versa). Likewise, RBs need a solid O line (though Sanders had some awful lines in front of him in Detroit).

Warner should not be penalized for kicking ass in a system that suits his skill set.

Very well put.

Late to the party, but Warner is a sure-fire HOFer. Warner is playing with the same WRs that Matt Leinart plays with (or tried to play with), and the numbers put up by Warner are much much better than those put up by Leinart. Warner should not be penalized for kicking ass in a system that suits his skill set.

Should have done “Something About Mary,” Steve.

At this point Brees reminds me of Warren Moon, video game offense but no big wins in the playoffs. I think he’ll get in.

Randall Cunningham is a guy who played on a team in the Eagles that had Buddy Ryan as a coach who didn’t give jack shit about the offensive side of the ball, Keith Byars as a number 1 running back, and Fred Barnett as a number 1 WR. Yet he was throwing for 3000 and running for almost a thousand every year. Cunningham > Warner

Of the current QBs, the HOFers are as follows:
1. P. Manning
2. Brady
3. Favre
I think Ben will probably get there. Likewise, I think Brees has some solid credentials and needs a few more similar years. Warner, in my humble opinion, falls a tad short.

I think if you include Favre you have to include Warner. Football doesn’t romanticize longevity the way baseball does. To me those two are pretty similar players, i.e. gunslingers

yea, big ben will probably get in…but i dunno about brees. he’s gotta win at least one SB and continue this ridiculous pace. and even then he still could be overlooked…hell, you rarely hear his name mentioned as often as you hear brady/manning/favre, but you could make the argument that he’s playing better than all of them right now.
