Does being a black quarterback mean anything now?

(Sigh) I just turned 35 and I start with more comments about racism.
I'm a black man, if you didnt know and very proud of my heritage and very aware of the struggle that my people have had to get to where they are. Its not a black-white thing mind you, my girlfriend is white. My daughter is half-Mexican. I'm not at all biased on color but thats not the point, My point is about the continual harping on race.
Donovan McNabb is as about as an articulate athlete as you can find. His interview with James Brown on Bryant Gumbel's Real Sports has stirred up the race question once again.
Everyone knows that it took a while for a black man to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. Names like Merlin Briscoe and Joe Gilliam may not ring a bell to you but they were trailblazers. You just didn't see black quarterbacks in the NFL. Doug Williams was the lone exception and he often struggled to hold his starting job in Tampa. I was 12 before I saw a black quarterback, Warren Moon play. I did not know that he had been a star in Canada for six years before coming to the NFL in 1984, he played a dozen more years and rightfully has a bust in the NFL Hall of Fame.
Doug Williams though not a hall of famer has his place in NFL annals for being the first black QB to not only start but win a Super Bowl. Only Steve McNair and McNabb have gotten there since. Is it harder for the black quarterback? Maybe, not from the cerebralness of the position but maybe for the elevated expectations. There is a stereotype of the black quarterback being a scrambler, more athlete than field general. While the white quarterback is more the opposite. I've read way too many times that Michael Vick when he was playing should just be a running back instead of working to be a better passer.
I feel the need to smash that stereotype. I'll give you Steve Young and Fran Tarkenton, both hall of famers and great QB's Young was well known for his 49 yard dash in a game where he eluded a number of defenders. Tarkenton was well known for his scrambling ability and his ability to escape pressure and still make the timely throw, his 47,000 passing yards were until just a few years back an NFL record.
White QB's who were known as scramblers, no one tried to make the running backs.
Now look at James Harris, Doug Williams and Byron Leftwich all three good QB's who could stand tall in the pocket and deliver throws. All three have won and Williams has a Super Bowl ring and MVP all three were pocket passers.
My point here is that a black QB isn't neccesarily a scrambler, though there are those that are. Being a white QB doesn't make you a stand up passer. I would like to think, however naively that we are getting past the black/white QB thing and concentrate on which QB is winning games your favorite team. Me, I'll cheer my favorite team and curse their mistakes no matter who is at the helm.
