He was probably on his way... But as little as he played, he would've had to romanticize his way in like those guys.

Kurt Warner's induction was not based on just 3 years. In addition to the 3 through-the-roof seasons that he had with the Rams from 1999 through 2001 (2 of which ended in Super Bowl appearances), he also led the Arizona Cardinals to their first world championship/Super Bowl appearance since they were the Chicago Cardinals in 1948......and in the process, he threw for 4,583 yards in the regular season that year. That was in 2008, 9 years after he led the Rams to a Super Bowl in 1999. He followed that up by leading the Cardinals to another division title in 2009 before retiring. Warner had a higher career QB-rating than Luck, and 40% of his career was played prior to 2004, when they changed the rules drastically to help QB's and their receivers to prevent what happened in the 2003 AFC Championship game, when Patriots defenders got away with mugging Colts receivers for the entire 4 quarters.
