After my guess of 37 I went to look up the answers that i didn't know i counted 34 qbs but i did count blanda as a qb (not sure if he got in as kicker or qb or both)
Edit: I now see Conzelman was a coach as well so if he made it as a coach and blanda as a kicker that would get me to the 32. Is that the correct way of looking at it?

Well...I counted 32...but I included Blanda. There may have been some early on guys that were listed as like HB/QB that I may have missed. Conzelman may have been one of those.

Like I said, I may not have counted a couple of those...or I miscounted.
But there you have the list of HOF QBs.
I did another thread on HOF QBs....ones who will get in that have not yet.
We figured the following: Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rivers, BR, Eli.......and a few others that maybe could be headed that way (Wilson, Newton)
