"I don't think he's been that good from the get-go," Limbaugh said. "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."

What do you guys think about Limbaugh's charge?
Personally, I think teams will play whoever gives them the best chance to win and make more money. Even if you believe Rush's assertion about the media, its up to the coach to make a decision. Just a few years ago, people like Rush were saying that African-Americans could never play quarterback because they weren't smart enough. Now that they've seemingly been proven wrong, their only defense is to claim that the black QB's aren't as good as they seem.
As far as McNabb, I think his record speaks for itself. Every QB has a couple bad games. McNabb was given as tough a time making it in this league as any other QB, getting booed when he was drafted and criticized in the press. He's proved himself year in and year out and I wouldn't be surprised if this stuff motivates him to go out and prove himself again.
