How so? And how are they more scrutinized. Last year, Leinart, this year Quinn. Both were very closely scrutinized, however Vince Young wasn't. Go back to last years MSNBC and MSN reports, Leinart got loads more scrutiny than Young.
I don't see how Grossman, Manning and Pennington are under and lesser pressure than McNabb, Young and Garrard. If you look at who has been scrutinized this season I would guess Grossman, Manning (Eli) and Pennington have been guestioned more than McNabb. The only reason he is getting some shit this week is because he played like a twat on Monday Night. Simple. THis to me is as stupid as Kanye's Bush comment.
The only thing holding back a QB in transition to this league is their talent. If they can play, they play, if they can't they can't. If they are scrutinized it is because either a.) they have just signed a huge contract and need to prove their worth or b.) they have been playing like a chump.
McNabb seems to have forgotten that the press were collecticley playing soggy biscuit over his performance in the preseason whilst Rex, Eli and Brady Quinn were getting probed up the ass.
