Theres something special about seeing a black leader your age that feels like he's from your culture, just flexin on dudes on the field. You stop giving a fukk that he's not on your team and root for him. You choose him on madden. You hope he wins. You become vested in him.

And vick wasn't the first...ward was before him...slash was...rodney peete was...etc...but some come around and its different. Cam is that guy right now.

Donovan McNabb>>>>>


Alotta nikkas sleep on Donovan, cause he finished his sentences.

Word, but low key I wasn't trying to chronicle the history of every black qb in history...there have been three posts with the name Quincy fukkin Carter for god's sake.

There are various similarities between the connection that vick and cam have to the people...this thread is about them.

What connections?
If anything, you are being a revisionist.
Donovan N Mike was equally popular in the early mid 2000's.

Mike only eclipsed Donovan, after he did his jail stint and had that one good comeback year. And that's were the connection with the ppl you are alluding to came from.

blk ppl, including Donovan who mater of fact, happened to be the one to tell Andy Reid to give Mike a shot, was pulling for him.

In the early-mid 2000's for blk ppl, it was between Mike, and Mcnabb ...
Infact, Mike was more revered by cacs than Donovan. Much like Russell to Cam.
