playing the race card.  if you are the quarterback of the team a lot of people are picking to represent your conference in the superbowl, and you start the season 0-2, just blame it on prejudice.  http://msn.foxsports.com/.../7239556]sorry azz excuse In an interview on HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" to be broadcast Tuesday, McNabb said black quarterbacks "have to do a little bit extra" because there are relatively few of them, adding "people didn't want us to play this position."
McNabb said if he passes for 300 yards and his team wins by a touchdown, critics will say, "Oh, he could have made this throw here. We would have scored more points if he would have done this."

That makes him sound like an idiot............ Guess he is.
if it smells like sh1t,looks like sh1t.... you know the rest.[ ] You sure do on the wonderfully judgmental FIG. How many of you have a clue what it may be like to try to succeed as a top shelf pro in Philly? You've no clue how tough Philly "fans" can be on sports figures. (If you didn't hear Barkley trying to describe it, during some of the worst broadcasting commentary during a football game; he captured it well.) Is the man not entitled to his perspective of how he's perceived? Very easy for him to draw that conclusion. Who said he was making any excuses for anything? |

Heard an interesting take on the radio last night.
Long and short of it. Caller: "Yes, (some) black quarterbacks are under increased scrutiny. Not because of their color, but because they we're hyped to us as players that would completely revolutionize the position, and change the way the game is played. Vick, Culpepper, and Young. The increased scrutiny is laid, because none of them has provided the level of sustained performance expected. People expect a Brady, Roethlisberger, or Palmer to be great, or even Just OK. When they aren't, they just had a bad day, or sucked. These 3 we're touted to not only eclipse any of those 'type' guys, but redefine the position itself. When they don't the perception of failure is magnified."
