I think you are reading too much into this. This thread isn't about weather he was a good QB or weather he should have started over Delhome or not. It's about weather he deserves to be in a Hall of Fame, which is a subjective matter. The all time hit king is not in the baseball hall of fame, so obviously having stats is not enough to ensure you will make your sports/teams HOF.
Now I'm not comparing Rose and why he is out vs why I think Brooks is out, so don't go off and blast me on that. I'm just saying that because the guy is our second leading passer in many catagories it a) doesn't mean he deserves it and b) just because I don't think he is HOF worthy doesn't mean I don't appreciate his quality of play for us and/or I have a bias against him.
I think far too many players are in their respective sport's HOFs as it is. I just tend to think it should be more of an honor than that. Sure, you can't be in a HOF if you did not put up stats. But, to me, you can't be in there if you did not display the drive/desire/passion/fire/ or whatever you want to call it that makes a HOF caliber player be the best player they can be. In short I can't think of a current HOF player that did not strive as hard as they could on the field (and most of the time off the field as well) to win a game. There is no way you will convince me that Brooks had that quality as an NFL player from his demeanor and actions. To me, the fact that he is our second leading passer simply means that we had a bunce of poor passing QBs in our history.
