how do get the best qb on hall of fame?

Answer 1

from the hall of fame website

Charged with the vital task of continuing to be sure that new enshrinees are the finest the game has produced is the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 40-person Board of Selectors (see list below).

The Board consists of one media representative from each pro football city with two from New York, inasmuch as that city has two teams in the National Football League. A 33rd member is a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America and there are seven at-large delegates.

With the exception of the PFWA representative who is appointed for a two-year term, all appointments are of the open-end variety and can be terminated only by retirement or resignation, as long as the member continues to attend meetings regularly.

The Board of Selectors meets annually at the time of the Super Bowl to elect new members. There is no set number for any class of enshrinees but, the Board's current ground rules do stipulate that between three and six new members will be selected each year. The 1973 and 1976 classes of three were the smallest ever named.

Every candidate is carefully scrutinized and must receive at least 80 percent approval of the Board at the annual meeting before he can be elected. A scale of negative votes for elimination that will vary depending on the number of Selectors in attendance is used.

When the Selectors meet in South Florida next February to name the Class of 2007, they will have before them a roster of 17 final candidates, along with detailed biographies on each. To assure that older players will be considered along with the younger breed, the Seniors Committee - made up of nine veteran members of the overall Selection Committee - have named two nominees from the pre-1982 era to be included on the final list.

The other finalists will be the survivors from a preliminary list of candidates that the Board will have screened by mail ballot. That original list will have been in part provided by the fans themselves.

A slight modification to the bylaws in August 2006 resulted in an increase to 17 finalists based on 15 modern-era candidates and two senior nominees being named. In the past, the finalists numbered 15 that included 13 modern-era candidates and the two senior nominees.

Any fan may nominate any qualified person who has been connected with pro football in any capacity simply by writing to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The only restriction is that a player must have last played at least five seasons before he can be considered. For example, a candidate for the 2007 class must have concluded his career not later than the 2001 season.

For a non-player, there is no mandatory retirement period, but a coach must be retired before he may be considered. Every nomination received will be processed and forwarded to the Board of Selectors.

It is important to emphasize that the Hall of Fame itself has no say whatsoever as to who is or is not elected to membership. The only function of the staff is to process the nominations as they arrive and to coordinate the annual meeting.

Answer 2

Some good reasons: - 2 MVP awards. Every eligible player with at least 2 MVP is in the HOF. - Postseason success. 9-4 as starter, three games with a rating of at least 140 and 2 games with 5 TD. - Did you know he only had 6 seasons in which he threw for more than 11 TDs? Yes, I did. But still he was voted to the Pro Bowl in 5 of those 6 seasons. To be eligible to the Hall of Fame a player needs to play 5 years and Warner had 5 great years ranked among the best. There are factors that are not measured by numbers, like the following: - Almost perfect mechanics, superb field vision and one of the quickest releases ever seen. - Lethal precision, almost all the time put the ball wherever it needed to be. - Brains, turned around two terrible teams and led them to the Super Bowl. The last two Cardinals teams lacked a running game.

Answer 3

lol, the guys talking about Road to the Hall of Fame on Madden 07 (though he could have been more clear)

Isn't there a video game area on Y!A? Anyway --the best one is probably (I havn't tried all) the one that says your dad was the Tom Brady of his day --on the bottom is says HoF QB. You'll get good AWR (for a rookie) throw power and accuracy.

Answer 4

after mandatory period of waiting following their active playing career they are voted in and need a required % to be voted in...
