Mike in Horseheads Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Sports IllustratedVerified account @SInow 7h7 hours ago Donovan McNabb says he's a Hall of Famer http://go.si.com/z6N9n2f Former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb says he deserves to be wearing a gold jacket and be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. McNabb made his argument to TMZ and focused his candidacy on one player. “I’m not hesitating on that. I am a Hall of Famer. My numbers speak for themselves," McNabb said. "My numbers are better than Troy Aikman’s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksilver Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) So it's late October 1999 and my good friend is having his bachelor party at Tootsies (Miami). In line in front of our group is DM and his group. He used his "NFL ID CARD" (didn't even know they existed until then) to get him and his buddies in for free. I think the cover was $20.00. I was shocked that someone who just signed for 8 figures wouldn't just pay the cover. He didn't play against the Dolphins the next day, the Iggles lost. I voted no, good but not special.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Tied with Jim Kelly for the most playoff wins by a quarterback who did not win the Super Bowl, with 9. The record for most playoff wins by a quarterback before eventually winning his first Super Bowl is held by John Elway, with 10. Wikipedia still don't see him earning a gold jacket.

Alphadawg7 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) I will make a case for McNabb. Outside of Tom Brady, I cant think of another QB who had as much success as McNabb with total scrubs to throw to most of his career. Have any of you actually looked at who his receivers were? It’s atrocious. He did more with less than just about any QB I can think except Brady. The one time he had a good one, T.O., he took them to the SB. McNabb was also tough as nails, finished a game with a broken ankle. There are worse QBs in the HOF than McNabb. He’s not a first ballot guy, but I think he has a case for the hall.

LSHMEAB Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 He was throwing to James Trash and Todd Stinkson for much of his career, so he gets a slight pass. Hall of Famer? Absolutely not.

rodneykm Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I hate that this will eventually break down into a racial conversation. Dude, I am and always will be a big McNabb fan and if he could have won even ONE Super Bowl, this conversation might be different. No, he's not HOF worthy. 37 minutes ago, LSHMEAB said: He was throwing to James Trash and Todd Stinkson for much of his career, so he gets a slight pass. Hall of Famer? Absolutely not.

He was good, I have no clue what his numbers look like. I think that’s where his HOF hopes are as with any QB who isn’t winning multiple SBs.

I'd go as far as to say he's a lot better than just "good" but just not "good" enough to reach that next level. He averaged roughly 23 TD's and 10 picks a season in a pass happy Andy Reid offense. He was a solid runner, but he also took a ton of sacks behind a decent line. Much of that can be attributed to his subpar offensive weapons, but he held on to the ball way too long for my taste. Maybe better than good all things considered, but not a HOF'er. Fair or not, a Superbowl win would probably give him a stronger case, so I agree with you there.

Happy Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Voted no. McNabb was very good, but not HOF worthy. I don't think being in/not being in or winning/losing a SB matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 With a lot of these guys, I have no idea of what their overall stats were. I just go by how I remember the player, what I saw when I watched them play and whether I remember them dominating much. Have to say my first thought to McNabb was 'absolutely not'. Though there are a few guys who are in the HOF that I don't think should necessarily. To me the HOF should be for the absolute best of the best. He definitely ain't that.

LikeIGiveADarn Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 2006 McNabb is a first ballot HOFer.

The Senator Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) AFAICR, he was kinda good for a couple of years. If you wanna boost him ‘cause he was an ‘Orangeman’, and had a few good years in the NFL, go ahead. HOF - certainly not. .

Talley56 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Reluctant no for me but while I think he was really good, I wouldn't say he was quite at the level of HOF. Say what you want about Andy Reid, there is no way the Eagles would have been as good as they were in the early 2000s if it wasn't for DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins have a way of picking up greats in the sunset of their careers and expect the guys to be in their prime - Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Donovan McNabb, Albert Haynesworth. There is probably more, but those came to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
