With nine playoff wins, McNabb is tied for the eighth most postseason victories of all time, behind only other greats, including Joe Montana (16),Tom Brady (14), Terry Bradshaw (14), John Elway (14), Brett Favre (13), Troy Aikman (11), and Roger Staubach (11). He also tied with Roger Staubach for ninth most postseason touchdowns with 24.

For the bulk of McNabb’s career, whenever the Eagles made the postseason they have advanced to the conference championship, as he led them to five NFC Championship appearances in eight years, with four of them being consecutive appearances.

He also led the Eagles to their second-ever Super Bowl appearance, where they lost to the heavily favored New England Patriots.

Under McNabb, the Eagles also only missed the postseason with him as the starter twice out of his 11-year stint with the team. Only once were they eliminated in the first round. When it comes to postseason victories, McNabb’s resume is outstanding.

McNabb’s career is full of incredible achievements. With six Pro Bowl appearances, five of them being consecutive, and being named NFC Offensive Player of the Year in 2004, few can doubt that McNabb was among the elite players in the game during his prime.

He also appeared second in MVP votes for a great deal of his career

For all of McNabb’s achievements, however, one could argue that while they are impressive, they are not worthy of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game.

In 12 seasons, he was never named to the All-Pro team. He was never named the league MVP. And of course, he has never won a Super Bowl despite coming close on multiple occasions.

Despite a great playoff resume on paper, McNabb failed to win a Super Bowl in every one of his deep playoff runs.

And despite McNabb’s ability to make it to the conference championship, his NFC Championship win record is only 1-5 (.20), with three of the four losses being against teams that the Eagles were favored heavily to defeat.

i just quoted shyt from this article

As an eagles fan...yes he is. Which is ironic, since no one likes him anymore in the city

I think he is one. If he had a ring this wouldn't even be an argument so with that said I think he should get in on the totality of his career. Not denied entrance because he didn't win the big one.

If a Quarterback like Sonny Jurgensen who never lead his team to the playoffs can get into the Hall than Mcnabb should be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

As a Giant fan, yes he is. His numbers are more than comparable to cureent hall of famers who don't have rings. fukk him, his mom, and chicken noodle soup, but the guy was easily a top 5, arguably top 3, quarterback during his tenure in the league.
