Donavan, just shut up and play
It seems like whenever his skills are in question, he throws this kind of stuff out there:
McNabb: Black QBs face greater scrutiny
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.”Asked if white quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer are held to the same standards, McNabb replied: “Let me start by saying, I love those guys. But they don’t get criticized as much as we do. They don’t.”
I have never heard anyone mention race when talking about Donovan (other than Rush Limbaugh obviously – and we all know how that turned out). In Philly, I usually hear comments about him being too sensitive to criticism. And when I read stuff like this, it tells me that that is spot on!
