Wewhite, I feel where you are coming from but when you look at the media and how they "label" everything and catagorize any given player or situation you have to see where the motivation is. It is all about ratings and readership. There is alot of racist B.S. out there any one who denies this is either blind or stupid.

That being said, I like most on this board do not give a damn if a player is white, black, purple are paisley. the bottom line is can they play. Every jersey I own is a black player and I don't care. Look, if a player is overrated I dont' think people look at the guys skin color they look at his stats and his history.

As Matty has said, Overated is a subjective team to begin with, Overated compared to what? Mc Nabb is Chunky soup boy, in the limelight more than most NFL players. He therefore is open to debate, Look at the track record. He can't win the big game? That is why he is overated in my opinion. Not because he is black. What about Jim Kelly with the Bills, was he overated, yes or no?

Either way Wewhite, you opinion is just as valid as anyone else on this board and I think you have the right to feel that way.
