McNabb says black QBs under more pressure - ESPN
African-American quarterbacks face more pressure and more criticism than their white counterparts, Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb says in an interview scheduled to air on HBO on Tuesday night. McNabb, in an interview on "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," tells interviewer James Brown that African-American quarterbacks such as himself face added pressure because there are fewer black QBs -- and because some still don't want black athletes playing the position. "There's not that many African-American quarterbacks, so we have to do a little bit extra," McNabb tells HBO. "Because the percentage of us playing this position, which people didn't want us to play ... is low, so we do a little extra." In just-completed Week 2, five of the 32 teams (15.6 percent) had black starting quarterbacks. Later in the interview, Brown presses McNabb on criticism of his performance -- and if African-American QBs are graded more harshly.
"I pass for 300 yards, our team wins by seven, [mimicking] 'Ah, he could've made this throw, they would have scored if he did this,' " McNabb tells HBO.
"Doesn't every quarterback go through that?" Brown asks. "Not everybody," McNabb replies.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a delusional cry baby. I guess this clown hasn't heard the media tearing apart Rex Grossman, Elli Manning, Jake Plumber etc... I guess he didn't see Chiefs fans boo Croyle during a PRESEASON GAME. Ohh and lets not forget that he happens to play in the city that booed Santa Clause.
Remember that is the same moron that cried on draft day because the Eagles selected a QB to back him up. The same moron that ran out of gas in the 2nd half in the Super Bowl which cost them the game (Just ask TO), the same clown that gets hurt every year and can't play a full season and the same clown that throws out the race card when ever he performs poorly.
