One stinking yard. Steve McNair passed for 31,304 yards during his 13-year NFL career. Had he gained one more yard in Super Bowl XXXIV, he just might've ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

McNair, 35, announced his retirement today. He worked out hard during the offseason to "see how his body would react to my mind," he said today. "My mind was feeling, yes, but my body was saying, 'What are you doing?' "

His legacy is clear and simple: Steve McNair was one of the toughest and most versatile quarterbacks ever to play the game. He epitomized the game's warrior mystique, playing hurt for most of the last half of his career, taking poundings and yet most often rising to play again.

He's one of only three QBs to amass more than 30,000 yards passing and at least 3,000 rushing. The other two are Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young, both of whom are already enshrined.

So why not McNair?
