Because he's a great QB.

He had a great year, a very nice 3 year run, got ran off from not one but two teams in successive years.  He was average in Ariz for 3 years and finished his last year strong.  A decent career not a great one, and having an exceptional 3 year run is not HoF worthy IMO.

You're serious?
--his total career passing yards and touchdowns compare favorably with other Hall of Fame quarterbacks, like Troy Aikman and Jim Kelly.
--Led two teams to Superbowls (played 3 total), including the Cardinals first ever.
--In 13 career playoff games, Warner ranks first all-time in completion percentage (66.5%), first in yards per attempt (8.55), and second in passer rating (102.8)
--He was 5-4 with the G-Men when they decided to give the reigns to rookie Eli, while it isn't fact I would venture to say Warner possibly could have led them to a better finish than lil Eli's 1-6 finish.
--He started the 2000 season where he had left off in his record-setting 1999 season, racking up 300 or more passing yards in each of his first six games (tying Steve Young's record) and posting 19 touchdown passes in that stretch. 
--Warner passed the 20,000-yard passing milestone in his 76th game, the second-quickest of any player in NFL history (Warner accomplished the feat in one game more than it took record-holder Dan Marino
Warner's injuries kinda ended his Rams career.

I mean.... he had like a couple bad seasons... but I don't see how you could say he isn't HOF worthy...
His 'down' years in AZ... they weren't a good team. The roster around him got better and they stopped trying to force Leinart to be good.
