honorable mention to young sabotage

I prefer MyKnee Hurtin to BoreUs Meow, but that's another all timer :russ:

Young sabotage clears BoreUsMeow. The other 3 are correct

Complete Junk Stroud is already over BoreUs Meow. :blessed:

Dan Struggla :wow:

Touch Me Teague Me :wow:
Yeah, BoreUs Meow is a favorite because it's just so fukking stupid and childish I laugh every time.

I agree though, :youngsabo: belongs over Meow. It created a GOAT smiley and says it all

Im choosing not to rank him at all because things are looking up for black qbs. He wouldnt stay on the list long if hes there at all.


Mahommes
Lamar
Vick
Jalen Hurts
Dak
Cam
Randall Cunningham
Steve Mcnair
Russel Wilson


Def not top 10 easily,leaving a spot open for Jordan Love and Warren Moon who i only remember being trash.

Hes better than vick and more accomplished than dak and played great longer than cam

If we had a draft with only these qbs,and you knew you would only have them for the ammount of years they actually played, Plus only have them at their peak for however long their peak was when they played,But you got to build the rest of the team around them to your liking. You would not pick Mcnabb over Vick,Dak or Cam:comeon:


Because you know like i know,his peak isnt good enough to win a superbowl. Cant say that anybody else on my list imo. You could argue what he couldve been if he always had a T.O. But you could also argue he only went to the superbowl because they had T.O.

No, you can't argue that at all because TO didn't play in a single playoff game until the Super Bowl. So he did get to the Super Bowl without TO.

McNabb clears Vick and it's not really debatable imo. Vick had the highlight reel plays and culture on lock but as far as actual quarterbacking is concerned McNabb was better. Could pass better, read coverages better, etc. I think Vick was a better passer than his stats show in Atlanta but he was not as good in a structured offense like McNabb was

McNabb gets a lot of flak for his wormballs but when he was playing he had one of the best TD-INT ratios in history, he made pretty good decisions with the football. Of his generation I'd say McNair's his only real competition, that one's a coin toss but I'd flip McNabb

Think Randall and Moon at their best are both better. Mahomes, Lamar and Russ all clear as well. Cam is interesting because at his best I feel like he's better but McNabb was more consistent. Feel like Donovan has an argument over anyone else. Hurts was able to do what he couldn't with the Eagles but as an individual player I'd still give it to McNabb

Yes he's top 10 black QB but what is that really even saying given the historical barriers for black QBs in the league. Like how many people think he'll be a top 10 black QB in 10-20 yrs now that the position is rightfully open to all qualified players?

  • McNabb was good but def benefitted from a trash NFC East during his prime
  • Had the benefit of being coached by an offensive scheme genius and pioneer and we saw how bad McNabb play fell off a cliff at age 33 once they separated. He was out the league 2 yrs later
  • McNabb had a good deep ball but was overly conservative (worm balls) and the scheme was "safe" with Reid creating plays that mostly relied on RB screens and TE plays. Would be interesting to see what % of McNabbs career yards can be attributed to YAC.
  • Having better receivers is always a net gain (TO year) but harping on the eagles receivers from that era is kind of disingenuous since the scheme never relied on good receivers. In fact Reid himself had personnel control and never prioritized elite receivers cause his scheme didn't need them (see recent Chief rosters for consistency in Reids philosophy) . Reid thought that draft capital was more valuable spent in the trenches and that kind of been proven true during his career. McNabb enjoyed top 5 offensive lines for the majority of his career and a top defense coached by legend Jim Johnson
  • I'd put McNabb in like the Matt Ryan tier fwiw. Good QB who you can build a franchise around but there is just ALOT of guys i'd take over him, especially if we talking absolute prime for prime

Locker room leadership,having a T.O helps boost your confidence. He never went before or after:respect:

Dont miss the forrest for the trees. Would you draft Mcnabb over any of those other QBs based on the parameters i mentioned? No one vouching for him would.

Top 10 Black QB. Outside of TO he spent most of his career throwing to Coli brehs.

I would take him over Vick, Dak and Cam Mewton
