That and people are insinuating that all of this is a sign he'll be a complete bust.
That's where the cism comes into play. White QB's are given a decent amount of time to develop and their critiques are always qualified with "It's just his Rookie/Sophomore season". If you're a black QB you better hit the ground running and you better not trip up at any point.
I say that all the time. We are given little time to develop. They made all kinds of excuses for Eli, David Carr and Sam Bradford for their sorry play in their first few years. Its obvious what the difference is. Carolina signed two RBs for a lot of money and don't run the ball. Their defense is horrible as well. Coaching is bad too. I mean these guys were 1-15 in 2010 for a reason. Are there things that Cam do better? Yes, but he is not even half way through his 2nd season. Why do we have to do everything in warp speed?
I told people that before the season started that if they don't start winning games, he will destroyed by the media. I can tell you this, whites are OK with us being QB sideshows as a means of entertainment. Colin Cowherd who is an undercover racist when it comes to football and says "Griffin is fun to watch, but Andrew Luck is 3-3. Cam Newton is fun to watch too"
Once they see that we have the potential to become elite or compete for a super bowl, one of two things happen.
1. We get critiqued for every little thing, similar to McNabb. When McNabb had no receivers to throw to except for 1 or 2 seasons in his career.
2. Credit is taken away from us. They start praising the coach or the defense rather than the black QB.
