Great QB, Great Man, and Great all around guy. It was a sad day when he died. One of the most underrated QB's IMO. Even though it was a serious pain to watch him tear our defense apart. I still remember that play in the 99 AFC championship, where he avoided a sack and ended up running the ball himself and taking the ball right down to the 1 yard line.
R.I.P
Great man? Didnt he cheat on his wife?

And yet he was still a better man than the lot of us.
??? What brought that on? Is it the anniversary of something? His death?
Great man? Boy, you set the bar pretty low.

Interesting opinion it seems unlikely you personally know anybody on this board.
Cheating on his wife...ya what a man
What brought this topic on exactly?

I'd say what else he was, but I'll refrain from speaking ill of the dead.
He was a good quarterback.
That's about all there is to say.
Okay everyone, let me clear some things up as to why I posted this topic.
1) It's Tennessee Week, and what better way to have Tennessee week than having a thread about one of the Jaguars biggest enemies.
2) I feel that McNair was an underrated player and deserves more recognition.
I just want to say that some of the people on here have absolutely no class, or respect by calling out a dead guy and insulting him for cheating on his wife. Was it the right thing for McNair to do? no. But that still doesn't mean that he deserved to die the way he did. Should we stop calling Junior Seau a great player just because he killed himself? Exactly, you people make me sick.
I'm done talking with you people. A mod should just come and close this thread.

When I say "the lot of us", I don't hold that to the confines of this board.
To be perfectly blunt, he had his share of problems, but he wasn't a bad person. At all.

What did you expect when his cheating on his wife was so closely intertwined with how he died?

It is sad that his life was ended early and he left behind four kids.
But he put himself in that situation. He was killed by his mistress in an apartment he rented for her.

Wait a minute - am I missing something? Aren't you the one who called McNair a great man? If you had originally simply said he's an underrated player and deserves more recognition, no one would have a problem.
But, no - you went a step too far. And we're supposed to feel bad?
Is it supposed to bother me that you're done talking with "you people"?

To be perfectly blunt, he was a bad person. By far.
The worst ever? Far from it. But what he did to his wife (and thus his kids) was very bad. And to top it off he picks a mistress who makes his wife a widow and his kids have no father.
By definition, that's bad.
He was married with kids to his college sweetheart.
Meanwhile, he is having an affair with a 20 year Dave & Busters waitress. He is paying for her apartment and taking her on Caribbean vacations.
What a guy.

While it may not be appropriate to speak ill of the dead, you shouldn't lie either. Also, there is a difference between calling someone a great player and calling them a great man. Also, suicide is very different from being killed by your mistress and leaving behind a widow and fatherless children because you wanted to get some on the side.

Nuff said.. Not going to parade the man like he was saint, but not going to belittle the man either..

Hah, wow. This board...
Alright, I'm done. You win.
Steve McNair- Forever the prime example of the "Don't stick it in crazy" principle.
Dang guys, I just wanted to share my views about Steve McNair. I'll admit that I went overboard with my last post, but I didn't expect to unleash the hornets nest.
