Mike in Horseheads Posted May 24, 2019 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

Gugny Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 McNabb is a first ballot Hall of Very Good candidate. He's not a Hall of Famer. 9 1
Albany,n.y. Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Troy Aikman Super Bowl wins 3, Donovan McNabb Super Bowl wins 0 Another reason to never use QB stats when comparing careers. 6
whatdrought Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 5 out of 4 Philadelphians said no and that’s he’s garbage. 5
ALLEN1QB Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Can't get him throwing passed in the dirt during his last playoff game. No thanks DM
Chandler#81 Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 He was good at times and for a stretch. Never great. Not only no, but Hell NO! 1 1 2
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 ...thinkin' the ONLY lipstick on his arse is "his own"......decent QB?....yes...HOF ?.......seriously?........better than Troy?.....um...ok.......
qwksilver Posted May 24, 2019 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 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 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.

freddyjj Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Lol OP. HOF? Seriously? Short list of SU QBs that turn out to be a decent Pro QB. Lets leave it at one. McNabb.

Why call out the OP? He started a thread based on something McNabb said. Why do you assume that he is on the side believing that McNabb deserves a gold jacket? 2 2

MJS Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Well, if Aikman didn't win 3 super bowls he wouldn't be in the hall of fame either. 4
LSHMEAB Posted May 24, 2019 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. McNabb is the personification of a "good" quarterback. Nothing exceptional about his career.
