Ravens QB Steve McNair Retiring

Posted Thu Apr 17th by

Sports Illustrated is reporting that Ravens quarterback Steve McNair is announcing his retirement today.  He is probably better known for leading the Titans within 1 foot of a super bowl victory against the  St. Louis Rams in 1999.  While McNair has no official connection to the Broncos I thought it was worth reporting.  I’ve always thought Steve is one of the class acts in the NFL even if I don’t necessarily care for his current team.  Here’s hoping for a happy retired life.  The 35 year old QB had a strong 13-3 season in 2006 with Baltimore but last season had multiple injuries struggling to a 5-11 record.  McNair has always been known as an iron man, fighting through injuries his entire career to play in games he probably shouldn’t have.

    What really interests me is how this is going to affect the Ravens draft, and ultimately the Broncos. Now they’re DESPERATE for a QB. Which is good news for Clady-lovers like me.

    I’ve long suspected that Clady will fall to us at 12 if the Ravens get Matt Ryan. The Chiefs would really be the only other team likely to take him, and it’s a reach at 5.

    Of course, depending on who they trade with, we may be in the same water with regards to Clady. If they move up to 2 with the Rams, Clady will still be the most likely pick at 8…. ay ay ay, the possibilities… my head hurts.
