When Limbaugh made his remarks, McNabb had been starter for three out of his four seasons. During those seasons, the team went 11-5, 11-5 and 12-4, going to the playoffs all three years, and going to the conference champsionship once. The year Limbaugh described him as overrated, the team went 12-4 and went to the conference championship. The following year they went 13-3 and lost to the cheating Patriots in the Super Bowl.
During that time, McNabb was a unique running quarterback with remarkable talents. He'd make the highlight reels every week with his amazing tackle-dodging to rescue busted plays. And almost all the WRs he ever had were average. When he finally got a star #1 WR, T.O., they went to the Bowl.
So it would be difficult to overrate the guy. If they said he was awesome, they were correctly rating him.
Rush isn't a racist. Rush is race-obsessed. It's something he thinks about too much. It's poor character; this is 2009, he should just get over it.
