Doug Williams is not a HOF'er.

Doug Williams deserves to be cited in the Hall of Fame for many things in his groundbreaking career. But not as an inductee.

No offense to Doug, by all accounts a great guy, but he will never get near being a HOF inductee, nor should he.

One great quarter doth not a Hall of Famer make...though how much did Namath really do beyond his guaranteed victory? Kurt Warner probably did more, but won't even sniff the HoF.

I was gonna say if Namath deserves to be in the hall based on one game, so does Doug Williams.

i don't think that doug had the career to send him to the hall of fame, but i think that there is something to be said about what he did FOR the game. i was too young to understand the full impact of an african american qb leading a team to winning the super bowl (especially in the manner in which he did it), but that accomplishment seems to have spoken beyond his statitstics. does it mean that he deserves to be in the hall of fame, i don't know. is it deserving of a significant recognition, i think so.

Great minds think alike....

DW will never be in the HOF...I love what he did for us but he really shouldn't even be considered.

I love Doug but he had too inconsitant a career t obe a Hall of famer. Guys like Phil Simms and Theismann are more worthy but he's a Hall of Famer in my heart for the XXII 2nd quarter

If anything, Joey T should be in there before Williams.

Namath had a HOF career derailed by injuries to his knees. He's be top 10 statistically if his knees hadn't failed him. Plus, he's the first QB to top 4000 yards passing. Those Jet teams were pretty a pretty high-flying arial team with Maynard and co.

No way DW deserves HOF. He was great for a very short time. It was not untill he came here with a great offensive line that he shined, and only for 1 season

It's gotta be because he was the first black QB to win a Super Bowl

whether he deserves it or not.... im all for putting as much burgundy and gold into the HOF as possible bc its seriously lacking

17 total starts for the Skins? Is that correct?

I agree his knees cut his career short, but he only threw more TD's than Ints once, his rookie season, and for his career he threw 173 TDs versus 220 Ints. For his career he completed 50.1% of his passes. All-time he is 45th in TD's and 43rd in passing yards. Not Hall of Fame numbers in my eyes, he just benefited by playing up to the New York hype.

Basically, doug williams is the Roger Maris of football. He has OK numbers, but he had one great season that was historic. It is hard sometimes to judge those tweeners, but the hall is supposed to be made up of the best. . . while we are on a topic of supposed best, why isn't Art Monk in the Hall of Fame? If John Stallworth is in the hall of fame, then there is no question that Art Monk should be as well.

What about the first black center, or the first black tight end or the first black defensive tackle...
