Getting REALLY sick of the McNabb Hall of Fame talk

[Senser81]

I think I did a big comparison in the last McNabb HOF thread, but Anderson is the perfect bar for McNabb. Very similar players, yet no one (well, very few people anyway) thinks Anderson is a HOF QB. For some reason, like senser is saying, people nonchalantly call McNabb a future HOF'er like it's a virtual lock.

Edit-found it.

Don't want to piss on your parade, but I think a difference between Anderson and McNabb is that Anderson's stats relative to his peers are much better, but while he played no one thought that Anderson was equal to Bradshaw, Staubach, Stabler, etc. He was an efficient, unspectacular QB. In the end, when you saw Anderson's stats, you were surprised at how good they were.

McNabb is almost the opposite. For all the hype surrounding him, his statistics aren't good at all. He is very inefficient. He doesn't generate points, yards, or TDs. (But if you actually sit down and watch McNabb play an entire game, and not just highlights, you'll think "how is this guy a HOFer?). In the end, when you saw McNabb's stats, you were surprised at how bad they were.

It's not just his completely overblown reputation, it is also his attitude. he's been a snippy, whiny, self-important guy for a long time. not one, but TWO financial apologies? All of our arguments aside, arent HOF voters mostly old sportswriters who he was rude to?

no chance, and it's unfortunate, because we'll hear about him every year as a possible candidate anyway. we'll be having this argument for the next 10-15 years.

No, I agree. I think Anderson was better than McNabb, and I don't think either belongs in the HOF.

. Jim Kelly is a legit, 100% unqestionable HOFer.

The black version. So, essentially, a poor man's Jim Kelly. Instead of 4 straight Super Bowl appearances, he'll just give you 4 straight NFC Championship appearances.
