Conerly was the QB throughout the ’50s and was constantly near the top annually in touchdown passes and quarterback rating. Those numbers would not be huge today but they were more than acceptable for that era. He was a popular player among fans and teammates and did have flashes of his brilliance throughout his career.
It is likely that had he led the NFL in more offensive categories in his career, he would have had a better shot for enshrinement. Since he was not chosen as even a semi-finalist for the Centennial Class, it appears that the window for Charlie Conerly to enter Canton may have closed for good.
