McNair retires

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Former co-MVP McNair retiring after 13 seasons

I liked him as a player, liked his heart. Not the sharpest tool in the shed though.

Yeah. The season he won Co-MVP he never practiced, but played pretty well.

Eventually, yes. Not now though, his resume, minus a ring... No way.

I'm not sure it would have, but guess we'll never know.

Only two other guys had thrown for 30,000 yards and rushed for 3,500 before McNair

Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young.

I'd say it's safe to say McNair has a Hall of Fame resume even moreso if he had a ring.

I think you are right about his resume. He will be one of those guys who gets looked over more than a few years before he gets his bust. Suffice it to say he is nowhere near a first ballot guy.
