Report: McNabb says black QBs under more pressure

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."




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.

Brown then asks if the media is tougher on him than on white quarterbacks such as Carson Palmer and Peyton Manning.



"Let me start by saying I love those guys," McNabb tells HBO. "But they don't get criticized as much as we do. They don't."



In the interview, McNabb also talks to Brown about playing in Philadelphia, a city known for passionate sports fans who aren't afraid to criticize the city's pro athletes.

"Every year I'm part of some criticism," McNabb tells HBO. "But every day that we go through life, you're faced with a lot of adversity. Now the answer is how do you handle the adversity. How do you respond?



"I try to handle myself with class. I try to handle myself with dignity. I think sometimes people look to players to act out, speak loudly, pretty much be an idiot. But that's not me."

I want someone in the media to ask Mcnabb what does he think he did in a previous life to piss god off so bad that he made him a black quarterback in Philadelphia getting paid 90 million dollars.

what? Wrote:I predict Joey Harrington will have a better QB rating at season's end than Matt Schaub. I also predict that someone will dig this up and tell me I'm a dumbass by Week 4 because Joey has shit the bed.

I saw the first post in this thread that included Philly v. the CHargers in the Super Bowl...I passed it up, figured maybe it's a myopic Philadelphia native in denial that their team is in full on rebuild mode at season's end (or sooner).
No way this post is indicative of this forums collective sports knowledge...

Then I got to the second post in the thread, and I must say...wow, just WOW.

Do any of you even watch football?

Funny shit there!

Isn't that guy still employed by the lions too?

He's still on the staff and I think he's Marinelli's brother in law.Kind of an odd thing for Kitna to do since he's a Jesus freak.
