Does McNabb deserve to be in the HOF?

[rash]

Donovan was recently asked if he thinks he deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame. He believes so.

What do yall think?

Personally, I believe if Romo deserves it, so does McNabb.

Lol I'll openly take the "L" for this one.

I Failed :

 

[Aikbach]

Is Danny White or Don Meredith in the Hall of Fame? Is Vince Ferragamo?
Jim McMahon? Randall Cunningham? Boomer Esiason? Vinnie Testaverde? Jeff Hostetler? Phil Simms? Brad Johnson?

I just named 10 arguably more accomplished quarterbacks that I'd take over McNabb in his prime for them in theirs.

McNabb is off his rocker :laugh2:

 

[casmith07]

Yes, he does.

Does McNabb deserve to be in the HOF?

No ....

 

[Joe Realist]

No way. He needed some more stats to build up his case or a SB win.

Even if you dont have a ring, which is more of the team, the stats matter, the problem is the game changes and as the game changes it becomes easier to alter stats. So the question is where do you draw the lines and where do you caterogize those that are HoF and those that are very good? who is the marker?

You don't draw lines. Drawing lines is too limiting. You look at every aspect of a a guys career and compare that to other Hall of Famers and more importantly to others from their own era. In my opinion, McNabb lags far behind the others from his own era.

I will use two components as examples. Passing totals and championship success.

Dan Fouts put up passing totals that dwarfed the others of his era, so even though he did not have a ring he had the stats. Before that Fran Tarkenton did the same and then after Marino did, too. And those guys were considered the some of the top QBs at multiple times during the career.

Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman did not put up obscene passing totals, but they were both very efficient passers and key members to their team's championship success. They were both able to elevate their games, which led to rings.

McNabb falls short when you compare his passing totals to his peers. Brady and Manning both have put up far greater numbers over essentially the same seasons as McNabb. McNabb also could not elevate his game when it mattered. Those are but two factors. There are many more. I think McNabb fails at these two aspects while others I have mentioned in this reply excelled at least in one of the categories. And other members of the HoF may have been good at both.

He deserves to be in the Hall of Was Kind of Pretty Good for A Little Bit

 

[Mountaineerfan]

that one really long td play against the cowboys, on a monday night i believe,deserves to be on a highlight reel in the hall of fame but not him. I do remember watching that play and just saying crap what do you have to do? I can't find the clip I'm sure someone else has it.

 

[zrinkill]

Probably the hardest QB to bring down after he was in the grasp of all time ...... even over the Rapist.

 

[Ranched]

I believe McRib and Cunningham’s careers to be almost identical. They both were very good qb’s on talent loaded teams that just couldn’t pull the trigger in the big games.

Hall of famers do, and with less talent surrounding them. Only Greats make the HOF, being good and very good doesn't.

’ I’m 34, 35 years old but still, I played at the pinnacle, I played at the highest level of my career. I played there. And I would vote for myself for the Hall of Fame.”

“Peyton never won the big game until he won the Super Bowl finally. Dan Marino never won the big game. But does that mean his career is a failure? No. Not at all,” McNabb said. “When you sit and look at the numbers — and that’s what it is when it comes to the Hall of Fame — my numbers are better than Jim Kelly, better than Troy Aikman, better than a lot of guys in the Hall of Fame, but the one thing they do have is a Super Bowl.

Sorry for you're misery McRib, sux not having a job and ummm, not to "finally" win the Super Bowl EVER.
You may now join TO's...I was the greatest and have no ring to show for it cry baby club. Now go vote yourself in.

I'd throw in John Elway and Steve McNair.

 

[Zaxor]

Ken Anderson
Ken Stabler
John Brodie
Jim Hart
heck I would put in Phil Simms over McNabb

Why is Jim Kelly in the HOF?

Seriously, what for?

Losing 4 Super Bowls in a row?

Trying to force the ball into the wrong places for so many times?

If he had one or two more decent seasons I'd say yes, but right now, no.
