I'm sure a lot of you will lip off with the "who" or "who cares", but I figure a guy who can last 17 years in the NFL deserves a farewell thread. A journeyman to the extreme, but always a class act.

McCown was the definition of humble and "class act". I don't think I've ever seen a QB genuinely root as hard for another QB in the midst of a QB controversy as he did in 2013 for Cutler. Every organization says this about McCown. His career was over for two seasons in 2010 and 2011. He was coaching high school football. But he got a shot... came back. Killed it for the Bears as a backup over 3 seasons. Then, he went onto have very admirable stints as a journeyman starter elsewhere. A true testament to hard work.

Not an ideal starter, but everything you want as a backup and then some.

He also incited my favorite radio call of a play, maybe ever.


His finest hour... Led an aerial display that posted 45 at home in subzero weather, on Monday Night against Dallas. Kept the Bears on pace for the NFC North Title with GB and DET.

Well of course some of these self proclaimed experts on here will be their usual dumbass ways, but you’re 100% correct they guy does need to be recognized for his tenure and the way he handled his business

You beat me to that Vikings call. I still laugh everytime I hear it.

"CAUGHT!!... TOUCHDOWN!!... NOOOO!!... NOOOO!!

THE CARDINALS HAVE KNOCKED THE VIKINGS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!!!"

He embraced the journeyman role. Again, a class act.

I respect him...everytime I heard him speak, he just came away as a guy who was team first. Hell of a backup to have as well.

Yeah, and it didn't seem like contrived bull shit. Which is what you get from most players. They give the cliche'd lines that they're supposed to, but don't walk the walk. McCown talked it and walked it.

Serviceable. Tough. Often times called upon to fill bigger shoes.

Not a bad career.

Mr. Insecure strikes again
Yes because everyone in the sports world thinks Larry Fitz when they hear "Larry Legend".


Get a bigger bat because you swing and miss a LOT.

My bad. I guess we can conclude one of two things...

1) You took issue with the fact that I referred to Fitz as "Larry Legend". Which just means you are an insecure Boston fan.
2) You really didn't understand which Larry I was talking about (photo and all). Which just makes you less than smart.

Both choices are plausible so I think we can just define you as a dull, insecure Boston fan.

But it's much more likely you just continue to swing and miss and make stupid posts.:thumb:
