Moon, 49,325 yards, 291 tds. Also, it was widely thought that Moon had to suffer through racial issues at the QB position, something McNair had no problems with.
McNair, 31,304 yards, 174 tds. Those are not HOF numbers...especially when you consider that McNair was only a top tier QB 1 time in 2003. Even compared to players of his own era, he doesn't rank up at the top. To me this is a no brainer no.
Also, I'm not saying that 1 issue should disqualify a person's character, but when you compare him to Monk, I think it should be known that McNair was a passenger in a DUI case. He was never tested, but there was plenty of thought that he was drunk as well:

Monk never had those kinds of issues at all. He ALWAYS kept his nose clean.
Again, I am not saying this makes McNair of poor character, just that you can't exhault him to Monk like status. |
Good point in the passenger DUI case regarding character. But I was also refering to the helps the team win category (game changer). Combined with statistics these areas makes up a Hall of fame resume.
I agree with the sentiment that McNair may not be a strong candidate for Canton. In my opinion though, if you can induct Moon for for ok stats and 2 great seasons, then you cannot discount McNair who had a similar resume. If I had it my way, then neither would be in. That is not the world that we live in though, so both of them should be in.
Just my opinion.
