Yes, given more time to remain successful.
Johnson???
Lets see how long he lasts and develops.
Hall of fame is just that - fame...over time.
No one has a great couple of years and then suddenly finds themselves in the hall of fame.
In fact you can have a pretty average career - but be in the game long enough to make a name for yourself and get inducted to the hall of fame.

No, neither is hall of fame worthy. McNabb, has no ring and he is very injury prone. And at the end of his career, much like Steve McNair, his numbers will reflect that. Brad Johnson, I dont think so. In fact,I seriously doubt it. It really depends on who he goes up against.
*Edit*
Was just reading the previous answers and Eagles, correct me if I am wrong but Brad Johnson was the starting QB when Tampa Bay won the superbowl. In fact they beat your Eagles to get there. McNabb is never going to get a ring thats whats never going to happen.

I agree McNabb is an above average QB, but no way a Hall of Famer. Has missed too much time due to injuries, is too inconsistent, doesn't play well under pressure. Has decent stats but that is only because the Eagles are pass crazy and don't have an effective running game.
As far as Brad Johnson, he goes into every season fighting for a job. Future HOFers don't have to do that, so no, he isn't going to make it, either.

If McNabb retired today, the answer is no. Could he possibly make into the Hall of Fame, yes.
As of right now he has thrown for 22,080 career yards and 152 TD's. He has also has rushed for another 2,726 yards and 24 TD's. Not quite hall of Fame #'s.
But he is only 31, if he stays healthy and averages 3,000 yds passing and 20 TD's for the next 6 years. I could see him finishing his career as Hall of Famer. That would give him close to 40,000 pass yds and 300 TD's. A Super Bowl ring would also help the cause.
As far as Brad Johnson, the answer is no. Brad has had a nice 16 year career in the NFL, but he is no HOFer. I know right now he has thrown for more TD's and yards than McNabb, but his best years are way behind him.

I wouldn't put Donovan McNabb in the Hall of Fame yet. He has had 1 great year and a few above average years thus far. If McNabb's a Hall of Famer, you'd have to put in Daunte Culpepper and Kurt Warner, both of whom had 2 dominant years.
Among active QBs, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady are locks. Drew Brees and Carson Palmer are Hall of Fame material if they keep it up. Steve McNair is on the bubble and would probably get in if he can win a Super Bowl in the year or 2 he's got left (very good chance, considering his tea held the Colts to 15 points in a playoff loss; however, McNair might have missed out on the Hall of Fame when Dyson came up a yard short in Super Bowl XXXIV).
If McNabb can put together a few more good years, he'll be on the bubble, but he's not Hall of Fame worthy yet.

As of now Mcnabb is not going to the Hall of Fame, but if he can come back and play healthy for a few years and get his team back to a super bowl then yes, but if he remains injury prone then he will not be in the Hall of Fame

Donovan McNabb is only 30. I think if he can stay healthy and continue to put up good numbers he'll get in. Don't forget he helped lead the Eagles to 4 straight NFC championship games and 1 Super Bowl. I expect more good things from #5.

I think McNabb is a great Qb, but to put him in the same class as Joe Montana, Johnny U, Marino, and Aikman to name a few would be a shame.

I have been an Eagles fan since 1968, and really support D-Mac. But I don't think he is Hall-of-Fame worthy.
He doesn't have any records and hasn't taken the team to any championships.
I don't think Pro Bowls and divisional or conference championships make any QB an inductee.
