1997 Draft: Drunken Miller vs. The Snake - What Was vs. What Could've Been

... What would have happened if Jake Plummer had spent 2+ seasons learning under one of the greatest scrambling QBs ever?  Assuming 1999 plays out the same way, you'd have to think 4-12 just doesn't happen.  Garcia was stuck in a train wreck of a situation.  Plummer would have entered the scene in a situation quite similar to Steve McNair.  Learn for 2 years and then be handed the keys to the car.  It's obviously impossible to predict how the 1999 49ers and beyond would've done, but one has to believe 10-22 between 1999 and 2000 would not ...

Friday Blizzard: these are some sort of mutant strawberries I'm eating.

... talk about Steve McNair. I've never been a big fan of McNair: he was a tough, versatile quarterback, to be sure, a quarterback you'd really want leading your team. But looking at his numbers, he didn't have that many great passing seasons; 2001, 2002, and 2003 were very good, but other than that, the passing numbers are often merely OK. But Roy Johnson has a point about how a win in his Super Bowl appearance would have changed his legacy (I don't quite accept the "just one more yard" bit: one more yard would have put the game into overtime and given the Titans a 50% chance ...

Running Quarterbacks and the Hall of Fame

... Peter King writes NOT ONE SINGLE WORD about Steve McNair's rushing. Steve McNair rushed for 3,590 yards (5.4 ypa) and 37 touchdowns. Can one discuss McNair's HOF resume without even mentioning his contributions as a runner? To talk soley about his passing numbers entirely INGORES a major area in which McNair impacted the game. The rushing numbers are also relevant to a comparision with ...

What Tennessee players might make the Hall of Fame?

... was inducted last summer, and deservedly so. So, who might be joining him? Steve McNair will not be. Quarterback is, perhaps, the easiest position from which to make the Hall. Alas, though, McNair’s resume is not nearly at that level. He was truly an excellent quarterback for one to three seasons (definitely 2003, probably 2001 and 2002). He was a good player in other years, but overall wasn’t good enough for long enough. ...

... just got beaten down a few years too soon. Steve McNair : HoF-level great or stat collector? Mike: Neither. A great player and competitor who just comes up short. You can make a pretty impressive grouping of sub-HoF quarterbacks who were still very good: McNair, ...

Total Titans’ all-time Titan/Oiler team: QB
Published 21 days ago by Drexel Perry at Total Titans
... for our all-time Titan era squad, McNair defined toughness during his career in Nashville. He led his team to the cusp of a Super Bowl victory in 1999 and was voted the league’s co-MVP in 2003. McNair ended his tenure as a Titan with a 76-55 record as starting QB while leading the team to five playoff victories. Needless to say, McNair was a winner. George Blanda (1960-1966) Versatility and longevity are two appropiate words to define the career of ...
