IMO Kurt is far more deserving of the hall than Young ever was, and if Young was First Ballot, Kurt should be to. But I don't expect much from the people that snubbed the greatest LT of All Time (Roaf) in favor of the 12th best RB of all time (Faulk). Still makes me wanna puke.

I was not, nor have I ever been a fan of Steve Young.
However, too many people place too much emphasis on numbers and not enough emphasis on the player's impact, regardless of numbers.
It took Steve Young 3 or 4 years after replacing Montana to learn that you win SBs from the pocket, but for the entirety of his career as the QB for the 9ers, he was a dynamic playmaker, and that's why he's in the Hall.
Kurt Warner was also a dynamic playmaker, which is why he belongs in the Hall.
Marshall faulk was a dynamic playmaker, as well, which is why he's in the Hall.
Willie Roaf was an impact player at a position which is more difficult for people to really measure his impact, which is why he had to wait a year longer than he should have.
