Yeahhh, go ahead and log off. You've done enough posting for the day and most people are laughing at you and your "stop playing the race card, but poor me some minorities think I'm racist/homophobic!" Like even if that were true it has any real affect on your life. Lol dude just laugh out loud.

Cam is black with a personality. It's acceptable to be a black QB as long as you act deferential and boring.

White with personality - great

White and boring - perfect

Black and boring - acceptable

Black with personality - thug

Nailed it....I can't pie this enough

good post

I think many people are getting really burned out with race issues and although it is certainly a relevant topic of discussion that our society needs to have, sometimes its just people not liking other people...as you stated here

as a white male I can say this- sometimes I feel I am blamed for everything...

women think I am sexist and oppressive

blacks think I am racist and oppressive

Hispanics think I am racist and oppressive

gays and lesbians think I am homophobic and oppressive

not everyone of course...I have moments when I have great hope for humanity...but boy the victimization card is getting tired

and I'm even using it here lol!

 

Must be a tough life, being so oppressed.

I think the problem here is his assumption that racial feelings of being uncomfortable with people just because of their skin color who look or act different is normal and ok. There is no consideration that this is a problem and something to be addressed not embraced.

There are 2 separate issues that get mixed together to create a much larger and complex problem.

First, we have a big problem with racism in this country. Both overt and covert. The number of Confederate flags I saw in the NW USA this Summer shocked and disgusted me. The things I hear my elderly parents say dissapointed me just as much. They have no clue that what they say is flat out racism. 

Secondly, people let sports make them say and do incredibly stupid and hateful things. If I say I hate another fanbase,  or team or player I do not mean it in a literal sense. It is clear that many or not most do though. I responded to a family friend on FB posting about their dislike of Newton by jokingly saying they must be Alabama fans. It turned out I was correct. It's is unbelievable how petty people can be.

Mix these together and you get a giant pile of stinky poo.

Don't throw us all in that bucket, bro.  Or do you feel it is proper to respond to irrational intolerance with equal and opposite irrational intolerance?

Nah def not throwing all under the bus. I thought it was just redicioulious so I responded with foolishness.

I am a white man and nobody thinks that I am a bigot or racist or homophobic or sexist. There has to be a reason people think those things of you.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
