You were fine up until that last. Limbaugh was NOT right and he wasn't even close.
We, Redskins fans, were terrified of the guy. Maybe he wasn't the best reader of defenses of all time but, that guy was a stud. We could never get him down, he'd always pull off a screen to kill us and he had plenty of arm. What did he do, 4 NFC championship games in a row? He was NOT their weak link.
Rush said that solely to be inflammatory and it was an asinine, stupid comment to make. I lost a TON of respect for him over that. The NFL, if anything, has taken great steps to protect the Brady's and Peyton's of the league.
You can lose whatever respect for someone that says it like it really is. Being a stud doesn't matter. even in the NFL, if one cannot surpass, or even equal, their peers.
Limbaugh told it like it was, and like it is today. McNabb may have been a thorn in the side of the 'Skins, but overall was just an average QB that received the accolades of the league and press, just because he was the poster boy of the league, desperately wanting a black QB to be at the top. The league needs someone of color that can reach the aspect of the Manning, Brady ,Breese's of the league. If anyone, that person will be Wilson, if he can hold out for the long run.
Man, did the Bucs prove that in Philly, by Ronde Barber returning that Int for a TD that propelled TB to a SB win, while McNabb was finished and failed to stand up to the NFL hype.
But I say the NFL will not really be happy until a QB of two black parents, not inter-racial, can reach the elite ranks. Until then, the NFL will promote to their highest degree the black QB.
Nothing racial about that. Just fact.
