KEN ANDERSON comes to mind as a possibility.

Who else?

LYNN DICKEY?

Stabler and Plunkett. Homer calls here, but Plunkett is the only two time SB winner not in and I believe Stabler has the highest winning % of any QB not in.

Other possibilities are Anderson. Is Simms in?

Griese is in. Simms was pretty damn good, really under rated.

Bert Jones, best raw talent not to make it IMO....injuries ruined his career.

He was Elway before Elway.

HAHA, I was going to post Dickey as a joke. He used to be one of my favorite players when I was a kid. He did have that one insane year where he passed for over 4,400 yards and had 32 TDs, back when 4K yards and 30 TDs was rare.

OK, compare these guys based on their ranking in the Top 50 QBs of all time:

Terry Bradshaw:
<TABLE border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Pass attempts:</TD><TD>40</TD></TR><TR><TD>Completions:</TD><TD>47</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing yards:</TD><TD>39</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing TDs:</TD><TD>21</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Len Dawson:
<TABLE border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Pass attempts:</TD><TD>45</TD></TR><TR><TD>Completions:</TD><TD>41</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing yards:</TD><TD>34</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing TDs:</TD><TD>16</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Peyton Manning (current, remember he is only in his 10th season!):
<TABLE border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Pass attempts:</TD><TD>16</TD></TR><TR><TD>Completions:</TD><TD>10</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing yards:</TD><TD>11</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing TDs:</TD><TD>7</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Mystery guy A (not in the HOF)
<TABLE border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Pass attempts:</TD><TD>10</TD></TR><TR><TD>Completions:</TD><TD>11</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing yards:</TD><TD>12</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing TDs:</TD><TD>10</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Mystery guy B:
<TABLE border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Pass attempts:</TD><TD>11</TD></TR><TR><TD>Completions:</TD><TD>12</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing yards:</TD><TD>13</TD></TR><TR><TD>Passing TDs:</TD><TD>14</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

modern guys have way bigger stats. I know both Testaverde and Krieg are way up the yardage and completions lists (probably the two to which you are referring) and neither are at all deserving of any consideration. The game has changed and football more than any other sport makes comparing eras statistically a complete impossibility.
