Has any QB been criticized more often than Rex Grossman? From his now popular nickname of "Wrecks" (as we've pointed out before, no black player ever gets these derisive nicknames, and no white player gets the fawning, lovable ones that blacks get) to virtually every jock-sniffer on television publicly demanding he be benched, the hate directed at him has been intense and non-stop.
This morning, I heard one of my favorite ex-players, Steve Young, join the mob and pile on Grossman, too. He, like all the others, stated that it was unfair to the team when "everyone else" is playing so well, while the QB is terrible. I guess Young thinks that the Bears' WRs are great, and a decent QB (which would, of course, include any black QB who trotted onto the field) could find them wide open and waiting for the ball. I guess he thinks their offensive line is great, and that Cedric Benson and co. are providing a first-class running game.
This is just another case of pure racism. Yes, Grossman has looked horrible this season, and at times he was very bad last year. But, if he was a black QB, all you would hear about would be "his" won-lost record (you know, the Vick-Young refrain of "all he does is win games"), and how he "led" the Bears to the Super Bowl. Does anyone doubt this would be the case? Grossman's career is now shot, without question, thanks to the drunk white fans and the white-hating talking heads, who are always on the lookout for any token white player they can find who isn't playing mistake-free, perfect football.
