It was an A+++++++++++++ here at work because I was standing next to a waiter when the Fark newsflash email came through on my phone and I said, "Dick in a box?" and the waiter looked at me like, "huh?" Then I read the URL and saw that Dick Clark was dead and I saidthat out loud and he burst out laughing.

He's definitely a better QB than Troy Aikman, I can confidently say that.

It depends how you judge Hall of Fame credentials.

During his time, Kelly was the best or second best quarterback in the AFC, or possibly in the NFL (86-96). I think, at the least, you put him in the top 3 on a yearly basis for his career. I think performance wise he was every bit as good as Elway and until Elway got his superbowls at the end, they were equivalent in post-season success. Montana and Young span most of those years, but other than being accurate and consistent, were either of them much better than Kelly?

Meanwhile, McNabb may have had one or two standout seasons, but during his time (99-2011) was he consistently a top 3 or even top 10 qb? He's clearly behind Peyton and Brady. I'd say that statistically and in terms of his team's success (which quarterbacks are judged upon, right or wrong), he's barely in the top 10 or just outside the top 10 for the decade from 2000-2010. He is, unfortunately, a quarterback from a time when passing stats exploded and he's not among the best for that time. He also had very poor playoff success and a perception of an innacurate QB late in his career which will hurt him.

He's not nearly as "clutch" if you can measure that.

Also without looking, I'm guessnig McNabb has a better QB Rating and TD:INT ratio.
