Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
Even on this board, there are people who insist on continuing to talk about a QB who hasn't thrown a single pass and has hardly seen the field at all. Like Art said, follow you own advice and let it go
Again were 3-0 and some people are walking around here calling mcnair names like McBoller. knock yourselves out I guess but it just stinks from my prospective.
GOD BLESS RAY LEWIS AND STEVE MCNAIR

Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
FYI, McNair's stats for these three games are pretty darned close to his career stats so everyone needs to get used to this. He doesn't play much better. But he plays well enough to win.
CAREER
83.1 rating 195 yds/game 59.4% 1 TD per 25 att 1 int/38 att 1.12 TD/GM
2006
78.3 rating 196 yds/game 55.4% 1 TD per 33 att 1 int/101 att 1 TD/GM
BTW, aside from a couple of seasons his stats have been fairly consistently low. But his wins have been consistently high.

Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
Dabruise's stats don't lie.
It's what McNair does.
McNair has done pretty much exactly what I thought he'd do. Not make any big mistakes, buy himself some time in the pocket, avoid sacks, and win games.
Does his play need to improve? Absolutely.
We'll get a real sense of exactly what we're made of this Sunday.

And don't forget which team had the NFL's #1 ranked defense in 2000.

Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
I don't know. The OL hasn't looked good, but when you look at the stats, they haven't looked terrible either. Only 5 sacks given up in 3 games. In general, I think it's too early to start tearing the Ravens down. You simply can't argue with 3-0.
I am notsaying that the O is playing perfectly and I can certainly agree with the first two points, but i sincerely believe that the third point is a result is shitty playcalling and not because of personel.
Again, I don't think it's as bad as you are making it seem. Burgess is no joke (neither are the Bucs despite how their O has played) and over all I think the pass protection has been adequate. Not great, but adequate. It's the run blocking that I think needs some serious work. Has Mac made an impact on the OL? We may never know since there is very little to compare it against. Game 3 is too early to say IMHO.
Talk about a double standard. Mac gets all the blame for the poor red zone play but gets NO credit for the come from behind win? Please, you are starting to lose me Stinger.
You don't have to bury your head in the sand, but the truth is (look it up @ nfl.com) this O HAS gotten better when compared to where we were just one year ago. Maybe they just haven't gotten better enough for your standards. I am OK with that, but you should realize that they are improving and maybe have a little patience.
I get the feeling that nothing short of the 50pt/500yrd game that I referenced earlier would excite you. This isn't fantasy football. Slow and steady DOES win the race.

Eddie George.

Stinger and Mobtown, I'd suggest getting away from the personal, one-on-one discussions. That's a slippery slope and here it's two strikes and your out.

Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
I'm not knocking McNair at all...
I think he is brilliant for this organization, the only thing was, I thought he might be having an off game on Sunday and things just weren't going right...
I guess, I watch so much football (soccer) and when a star striker is having an off game he may be substituted, its not a bad thing, just isn't his day!

I have just GOT to get myself one of these crystal balls that allows you to see what WOULD HAVE happened in the past if so and so...
Amazon? Newegg? Maybe Wal-Mart.
Speculations are just like opinions, and we all know about those.ENFORCE THE 1ST AMENDMENT WITH THE SECOND, NEVER DISARM

Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
Mobtown, I'm not accusing you of tearing anyone down. Sorry if that's the way it sounds. My points are still valid though as Stinger pointed out.
And thanks for the tip about not believing people. I never said I did. But most of the fanbase sure did and most of the fanbase has stated how they thought Boller was the beginning and end of the offensive problems. If you can't admit that then you haven't been reading the boards, the newspaper or listening to the radio for the last 2 years. The coaching staff and players weren't exactly feint in their prasie for McNair either.
I don't recall ever saying McNair would make us the #1 offense in the league either. WE WERE TOLD THAT A NEW QB WOULD MAKE THE OLINE BETTER AND GET TDS RATHER THAN FGS. This has not been the case and it won't it cut it against the better teams in the league.
I've done plenty of "research" on football. My research here tells me this team has been a QB graveyard since Billick got here. It tells me that the Oline has been getting worse for years and the FO has been ineffective in improving it. It tells me that if you can't win in the trenches you probably aren't going to go far as a team.

Re: Why does Mcnair get a free pass?
On a side note, I just noticed how this board puts a link to the posts you quote in your post. Very nice!
