Did you even know that Steve McNair retired yesterday? It definitely didn't have the flair that Brett Farve had. I didn't know it until I got yesterday afternoon and I saw it on ESPN. I wasn't shocked by the news, but there was no hype before it like there is with many Quarterbacks.

As a Colts fan, I am supposed to say I hate Steve McNair. He was the Tom Brady for us in the late 90s and early 00s. We couldn't beat the titans for many years when he played there. One of the biggest reasons we had so much trouble is that we couldn't seem to tackle the man. He always got away from our rush somehow. It would amaze me that he could stand up to the huge linemen that would give him a beating.

When I think of Steve McNair I think of a person who loved to play the game. He was a player that could will his team to a victory. He nearly won a Super Bowl on an amazing last second drive that came one yard short. By the way, he wasn't supposed to be that good of a quarterback. However, it seems that he found a way to put himself in a place where he would have a moment in which he could pull it out for his team. More times than not he succeeded too.

I'm sure part of the reason he's retiring is because his body is banged up from many tough games. He wasn't a pocket quarterback that never got hit. It actually seemed that he like the crushing nature of scrambling. I hope he has a good retirement and that his body doesn't turn on him.
