I can't think of another success story more inspiring and improbable than his.

From undrafted shelf stocker to MVP and Super Bowl Champion? Yeah, I don't think it's even close.

Awesome comeback and career, but not sure if it should be HOF-worthy before TO. I say the same about Davis.
1998: Started as a backup for 1 year.
1999-2001: 3 great years with Rams, although case could be made that Faulk was by far the more important player, but nonetheless played like an elite QB even with some injuries. Superbowl, etc.
2002-2003: Injured, can't hold a starting spot for 2 years, and even when he played it was like bottom 5 QB play
2004: Signed with NYG and was benched in favor of Eli.
2005: Arizona then signed him and he played lackluster in year 1, in and out, then injured
2006: The 2nd year he started out with a solid game 1, then played horrid for the next few, benched for Matt Lienart and played the last 2 games playing okay.
2007: Lienart was the starter, played bad, and Warner filled in the rest of the season playing well.
2008: very good year and led them to a superbowl.
2009: Slightly above average season, like Andy Dalton-level above average. Got crushed and retired.
12 years in the league:
3 elite (99, 01, 08)
2 above average (07, 09)
1 average (00)
6 injury prone/bench/lackluster (98, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06).
If he makes it in, Calvin Johnson better make it in.

Not only that but his wife went from looking like a bull dyke to pretty decent.

Take a look at Rocky Bleier. He played for the Steelers after being wounded in both legs while in Vietnam.

It just goes to show you sometimes class outweighs talent.

Warner is the only HOF QB to lose his job to 3 rookies while in his prime. 2 who were Marc frickin bulged and Matt leinart

I don't get how it took Stabler his entire life to get in...and they waited until he died, but it took Warner like two minutes after the waiting period to get in.
There is a lot of ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc...staying in the public light and befriending and being collegues with these emotionally insecure NFL HOF voters who want to be pals with the athletes.
I mean Warner was part of the media fraternity after his career; Stabler was cantankerous with the media and so they blackballed him.
NFL HOF isn't remotely objective and like the stupid Heisman trophy...popularity, likeability, or hype can get you over the goal line so to speak...just look at Namath.

Kurt Warner's induction is a symptom of modern media.
If he played in the 70's - he would have come and gone and maybe a murmur through the 80's of potential enshrinment. And then - most would have said - nah. Member berries all those years he was one of the worst QBs in the league? Yeah, I member.
