In an interview on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (taped before the start of the season), Donovan McNabb said that black QB's are judged more harshly than white QB's.
Some have responded by calling McNabb a mediocre QB, claiming that is why he has faced so much criticism over the years.
This reaction only bolsters McNabb's point... given his numbers, it's absurd to call him mediocre, and it calls into question his critics' knowledge of the game at the very least.
According to The Elias Sports Bureau,

at the start of the 2007 season 148 quarterbacks had made at least 1,500 career pass attempts... of these 148, McNabb is ranked 13th in career passer rating. That's higher than Brett Favre, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, and numerous other white QB's who have been given more respect than McNabb.
When you add to this his impressive running ability, it's clear that he's one of the best QB's of all time.
