Are you his brother by any chance? McMahon got caught up in nothing. He just wasn't good enough. He has a decent arm and decent running, but a leader? Yeah, those 1-10 Rutgers teams showed great leadership.
As for Bradshaw, Theismann, and Simms, I'd like to see some cites for that. Also you aren't talking about the smartest of announcers/pundits there.
Hell, if he was so good, why does he continue to be a backup. Some team (like San Fran) would have snapped him up by now if he was really that good.
I mean Hell, the man has a career passer rating of 55.0!

McMahon lost every game he started in Detroit.
If McNabb goes down, and you're forced to rely on McMahon, the Eagles are hosed.

Bit like Philip Rivers really, but things should change in the future with the new regulations.
However, it also hurts the Bears, in terms of potential trade value or a case of a lost first-round pick (but that's more rule than exception in Chicago, I suppose).

I'm sure if he held out the year that he would be just as successful as the last person forced to sit out a year.
Broncos cut ties with ex-Ohio State RB, their 3rd-round pick
From Tribune news services
Published August 29, 2005
Maurice Clarett's gamble for the big dollars in the NFL failed for a second time. The Denver Broncos informed Clarett on Sunday that he is being released, ESPN.com reported.
Mike Shanahan surprised the league by using a third-round draft choice on the former Ohio State running back. The Broncos coach thought he had the cutback style of running that fit in one of the league's best running systems.
As it turned out, Shanahan made a mistake and didn't want to waste time admitting it. With Tuesday's deadline for cutting the roster to 65 looming, Clarett, who never made the field in three exhibition games, was let go.
Clarett first gambled that he could beat the NFL in court after applying despite not being three years out of high school. The case failed, so Clarett had to wait until the 2005 season to get his chance to turn pro.
Clarett's second gamble was on his contract. He felt he deserved a contract similar to what a first-round choice would receive and signed an incentive-laden, four-year deal with no signing bonus.
The Broncos were willing to give him a $410,000 bonus, but Clarett agreed to only a $230,000 base salary. He had the chance to make $7 million.
By releasing him, Denver won't take any cap hit. It also appears unlikely that the Broncos will sign him to their practice squad.
Mike Anderson is expected to start at halfback with Tatum Bell as his backup. Shanahan also likes what he sees from former Giant Ron Dayne.
