Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb never won a Super Bowl but still thinks that he has done enough to have his bust in Canton, Ohio. Speaking to TMZ Sports, McNabb points out that his stats alone are actually better than Troy Aikman.
“My numbers are better than Troy Aikman,” the ex-Eagles superstar said.
“I'm not hesitating on that. I am a Hall of Famer,” McNabb says … “My numbers speak for themselves.”
McNabb hasn't been in the league since 2011 which means is eligible for the Hall of Fame currently but there hasn't been much talk of him going in, and a big reason is that he never did win a Super Bowl.
McNabb thinks making the NFC Championship game five times and also just making the Super Bowl should be enough to push him over the edge and into the Hall of Fame.
“When they look at my numbers, yeah, but then they always want to add other stuff into it. ‘Was he an All-Pro? Was he this? How many Super Bowl opportunities?'”
“But, people don't realize how hard it is to get to the NFC Championship and to get there five times, and then make it to a Super Bowl? It's tough.”
It's an interesting argument but the Hall of Fame voters don't seem to take NFC Championship game appearances as criteria to help get into the Hall of Fame, especially for quarterbacks.
Maybe at some point, McNabb will get into the Hall of Fame but this feels like a case where he could be waiting a while.
