Hey! If you want a black QB to really succeed, you put the him behind a really strong line, black or white. I really call it a failure of expectations of the linemen.

Look at the Bears. I rest my case.

GO RUSH GO : ) as others have noted you just raised ESPN stock and deserve a huge raise : )

you could have the best line in the world and kordell will still suck.

If you want a black QB to win without an offensive line, ask for tips from Randell Cunningham. He moved in that backfield like he was robbing the local ATM, ripping off the corner crack dealer, or running a race with fried chicken at the finish.

Two weeks ago I heard Chris Collinsworth refer to Warren Sapp as a "reminder of his African Safari trip last summer. Sapp looking like a jaguar stalking and running down a meal on the African plaines." I kid you not!

I was waiting for the PC crowd to go nuts over the racist comment, but nothing came of it.

Rush's comments about McNabb really spoke about the translation when going from the college game to the pros: in college, a great athlete at QB can run a defense silly. But in the NFL, EVERYBODY on defense is a great athlete and can run down even the athletic running QB [well, okay: except Michael Vick].

McNabb had high expectations coming out of Syracuse, and the more so going to a market like Philly. He seemed to be living up to that hype since the team had been winning, but yeah - Rush is right - the defense had done much of the work, particularly last year.

But then he went further and suggested that sports writers were hoping to see him succeed due to his race, perhaps hyping McNabb too much in the process. I would like to have seen Rush cite a few articles or columnists to back up that point, for the kind of writers who MIGHT do that are not typically your sports beat guys....(hmmm, except maybe in the Northeast, I'll concede)

In other words, Rush, you indicted the media, and accused them of tacit racism: now show me your evidence, for you rightly demand the same of those accuse you of such things.
