Tell me, exactly what in the hell is a "system quarterback?" I have heard Tom Brady, Matt Cassel and countless others referred to as "system quarterbacks." What I have never heard is one genuine, bonafide, real football person ever once use this term. Please tell me WTF it means, other than that it is a thinly-veiled way of explaining how someone who has been very successful at the postion attained that success without being very talented. What a load of BS...Absolutely not. He's the epitome of a system quarterback; any decent QB would look a million times better when playing with the best runningback in the game, the best receiving corps in the game and arguably the best offensive line in the game (or at least the best pass blocking o-line). He had 3 good years playing with the most stacked of stacked teams, contributing far less than Faulk, Pace, Bruce and Holt. If he gets in, Rich Gannon should get a wing dedicated to him, and I wouldn't allow Rich Gannon into the Hall of Fame if he gave me his career earnings.
Most of you Probably don't agree.

Warner is not Namath, playing on restructured knees. Nor is he Terrell Davis, who was literally unstoppable in those Super Bowl years (and no guarantees he gets in - same number of Pro Bowls and history status of numbers in his 8 year career with debilitating injuries, not outperformed-itis sending him to the bench).
Warner is Warner, playing with a thumb that's never been 100% post-injury. People forget about that injury.
No. He wasn't good for nearly long enough. And while he was good he had an outstanding offense around him; not that the second point disqualifies him but it's a factor. Regardless, he only had 3 excellent seasons and he's been in the league 8 years.
Definite no.
