I'm with nedonuts on this one - Stabler would be my choice between he and Ray Guy.
BUT - ummmm, where is Jim Plunkett on your list?
Between Jim, Kenny, and Ray - I would put them in the HOF in that order.
Jim = NFL Rookie of the Year, NFL Comeback Player of the Year, 2 Superbowl wins, Superbowl MVP....
The 33-year-old Plunkett came off the bench to relieve Pastorini and had a terrible performance, throwing 5 interceptions in a 31-17 loss. But the Raiders, thinking that Marc Wilson did not have the experience they wanted, called on Plunkett to start for the remainder of the year. In his first game as a starter, he completed eleven of fourteen passes with a touchdown and no interceptions, beginning one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of the sport. Plunkett guided Oakland to nine victories in eleven games and a playoff berth as a wild-card. Then, even more remarkably, rather than suffering an early defeat which marks the typical fate of NFL wild card teams, Plunkett led the Raiders to four playoff victories, including the first-ever victory by a wild card team in the Super Bowl, defeating the /page/PHI">Eagles" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Eagles">Philadelphia Eagles, 27-10, in Super Bowl XV. Throwing for 261 yards and three touchdowns, Plunkett was named the game's MVP.
After returning to the backup role in 1983, Plunkett again took over starting duties, this time after an injury to Wilson. The Raiders advanced to Super Bowl XVIII, where they dominated the /page/WAS">Redskins" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Redskins">Washington Redskins, 38-9, in the most one-sided game in Super Bowl history to that point. Plunkett completed 16 of 25 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown in the game.
Plunkett spent most of his last three seasons either injured or as a backup. He retired after the 1986 season, and is currently the fourth-leading passer in Raiders history.
BTW - Marc Wilson, was, is, and always will be an a$$wipe...
(I know it's college, but the Heisman probably looks good on his book shelf)
