Nice article Chris

BradyFTW!

Nice article. He might have been the toughest player I've ever seen, maybe even to the detriment of his overall career/health. It was just crazy the kind of injuries that he would play through year after year.

I have to disagree with McNair's so called legacy of toughness. McNair to me was a guy who was ALWAYS hurt or had some issue. There are other QB's who have played in the NFL who have taken worse shots than him and have played just as long as him. If you keep putting it out there about the injuries, then the press so going to run with it.

I seen Aikman and Young take some knock out hits and you don't see the same title of being tough linked to their names because they didn't use it as a crutch.

The guy who could use the injury crutch should be Eddie George. He was the guy who took the punishment for that team.

Good article Chris. McNair was one of those QBs in the 90's that paved the way for other African-American/Black QBs in the future. He is a tough warrior. I say that he should go to the HOF. IMO, I think Kazemi killed McNair and then took it out on herself. Maybe not true, but could be. That woman and her previous DUI arrest or whatever (I may be wrong) gave me a forewarning of what was gonna unfold. McNair's wife knew his husband wouldn't and shouldn't have made a mistake like that by spending time with another uncivilized woman. REST IN PEACE MCNAIR. My deepest condolences to the NFL, the Titans and the Ravens organizations, and McNair's family.

When did McNair ever use his injuries as a crutch?

Both Mcnair, and George took a beating. Maybe we werent watching the same games

McNair went an entire season without practicing because he was in so much pain. Come sunday, he was on the field. He never used it as an excuse. He was a tough s.o.b.

I always seen him as a squeeky wheel. His injuries were way overhyped, you expected him to get a purple heart or something. Mcnairs legacy is "aint he that football player who was murdered cheating on his wife and four kids?" Just like David Carradines legacy has changed upon his death. They should use Mcnair as a scare tactic at the rookie symposium.

nice. Thanks for bringing some intelligence to the board

True, when you get murdered generally that does tend to end up being what people remember first. I assumed we were talking about his football legacy, though.
