...thing about it is the NY-Philly media, because of the liberal Northeastern location of the Eagles, give McNabb the status of walking on water simply because he is A-A. IMHO, there are (Culpepper, McNair) equal A-A qbs as well as better ones: Doug Williams and Warren Moon. But, despite their stats, these guys don't stack up against the untouchable one in Northeastern MSM's opinion.

McNabb has one career statistical area in which he leads all active QB's: TD to INT ratio. This is why he 'grades' as highly as he does. As for being overrated, I'll leave you to your opinion. I think he's solidly in the Top 5 among actives.

I happen to think most QB's are a little bit overrated when you come right down to it. I exclude Tom Brady from that last statement. I refuse to argue with Superbowl Rings. It's foolish to argue against the 'hardware'.

I saw your earlier listing of great QB's. Why'd you put Fran Tarkenton on that list? I remember him well, but the Vikings aside, he played for some pretty mediocre teams. I know he was career passing yards leader for a while, but he never really won anything.
