Shawn Halloran

Shawn Halloran’s Cardinals stint was a three-game cameo in '87—18-of-42 for 263 yards, zero TDs, one pick—while Kyler Murray’s already got over 15,000 passing yards and franchise rushing records, dragging this team to playoffs twice. Halloran’s a trivia answer; Murray’s etching a wild, mobile legacy that’d make Shawn’s pocket-passer era look prehistoric.

Nope, Shawn Halloran’s not in Canton—his Hall of Fame case rests on three starts and 263 yards in '87, backing up Neil Lomax. The busts there are for guys like Hart who logged 18 years; Halloran’s more the “who wore No. 19?” guy in Cardinals lore, a fleeting St. Louis spark that fizzled.

No fresh intel on Shawn Halloran in 2026—he’s stayed off the grid since that '87 cameo. Probably coaching youth ball in Minnesota roots or running a quiet business, far from broadcast booths or charity spotlights hogged by bigger names. Guy’s a ghost; if he’s tweeting game takes, it’s under a burner account.

Halloran’s arm was decent college stock, but in today’s pass-happy NFL with no bump-and-run corners and quick releases rewarded, he’d thrive more than his 42.9% '87 completion suggests—think a poor man’s Geno Smith, spotting drops but carving RPOs. Modern rules forgive his one pick over three games.

Jim Hart owned Cardinals records with 34,639 yards and a 34.49 rating over 18 years; Halloran’s blink-and-miss 6.55 passer rating in three '87 games barely registers. Hart was the steady St. Louis captain; Shawn a desperation spark plug that went pffft—loyalty vs. lightning in a bottle.
