Ken Stabler most definitely should be in the Hall of Fame. Would John Madden, Fred Biletnikoff, Dave Casper, Art Shell, Gene Upshaw or even Al Davis be in the Hall of Fame without Ken Stabler? I say no.

Ken Stabler played in an era where he, the quarterback, called the plays, not John Madden nor Tom Flores. Back then Ken Stabler was the best at sizing up the opponent for three quarters and then striking with venom in the fourth, almost always snatching the victory.

Stabler's winning percentage while on the Raiders was .726 and .661 career, ranking him near the top all time! The Stabler/Madd en tandem had a record of 60 wins and 19 losses for .759 winning percentage, while competing in the dominant AFC where he had to go up against the Dolphins and Steelers every year.

If Stabler had short hair, played in New York or LA, and played by the rules (did what he was told), he'd be in the Hall already. But Stabler was a rebel, like the Raiders.
