ESPN - Report: McNabb says black QBs criticized more - NFL

When the issue of race was thrust upon Donovan McNabb, I thought it was unfair. Now he wraps himself in it to insulate himself from criticism.

It might be that you are criticized more than Manning because you haven't won a Super Bowl. It might be that your are criticized more than Palmer because Cincinnati isn't Philadelphia - the meanest city in the league. It might be that you are criticized more than both because your completion percentage (58.1) and Yards per Attempt (6.74) is lower than Manning's (64.0/7.70) or Palmer's (63.8/7.36).

And maybe it is because you are black. But I doubt it.
