Hey Wayne, you are an idiot.

Very few small white guys would play well in our offense, considering how much of a beating the QB is required to take. 

Not sure why folks have to go the “white guy” route. People said that CMC wouldn’t be worth the pick because he was a “white RB.” Turns out that was garbage.

 

There has been uproar over comments on guys like Cam and Deshaun being “black QBs.” They’re both above average for their position. 

 

Can we stop with the race in sports perspectives?

No.  I actually said, specifically, "small white guys" for a reason.  

Most black QBs who become starters are huge.  Most white QBs are tiny by comparison, and there are VERY few white QBs who are athletic enough to survive the pummeling Cam has to on a regular basis.  This is simple fact.

Signed - Small white guy.

Not intending to make anyone butthurt.  Just looking at the players that are "typical" for the demographic.  CMC is an exceedingly rare case.  I'm simply stating that on average, black QBs are much larger than white QBs, and are much, much more athletic.  You're nuts if you think the Rodgers and Bradys of the world can absorb the punishment that Cam Newton does.

It's not a knock against white QBs.  It's just that in our specific offense, there are very few white QBs out there that would be successful.  Don't get triggered over nothing.

Race and size don’t have anything to do whatsoever with toughnessness. There are literally a million examples. Just like race and size have nothing to do with intelligence as some would say ‘athletic’ qbs lack ‘intellect’ to be a QB.

Idiotic statement.

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
