Why No Asian Quarterbacks? Huhhhhhh?!?!?!?!

Recommended Posts

Is the NFL 60% asian? Does the NFL have a long history of denying asian QBs and converting them into WRs, special teams players, and waterboys? You guys are a sad bunch. Deflection is your middle name, and rather than address the obvious problem at hand you'd rather act like it aint there.

the problem i see is people who let race become a determining factor in their thought process/decision-making. that, KT, is you.

I thought the sarcasm was pretty lame, but that is a legitimate question to me. Where are the Asian players in general? Granted, the US is only about 3% Asian, but I still think that there should be more represnted in US sports. Outside Timmy Chang(who's is a free agent in the CFL), Haruki Nakamura(whose on the injured reserve of the Baltimore Ravens), and a Chinese-American O-lineman somewhere in the Big 12 whose name I can't remember(but he is a high projected pick for fututre drafts), the group isn't really represented in the football ranks. And American Samoans don't count. I'm surprised that some football(college specifically) coach in the offseason hasn't gone to Hawai'i or even Japan to try and covince some up and coming sumo wrestler to switch professions, like that guy off The Replacements.

Hell, a much better question would be where are the Hispanics? Hispanic people are the second largest ethnic group in the US, but yet they make up fewer than like 1-2% of the NFL. I really don't think the idea that 'football is soccer' to most Hispanics really flies nowadays, at least to the ones who reside in the US from a young age. The strange thing is, there has been plenty of successful Hispanic players despite the lack of flow. Tom Flores, Anthony Muñoz, Junior Seau, Donnie Edwards,Tony Gonzalez etc.

If the Roger Goodell wants the NFL to be a legitimate international hit over the general joke it is outside the US and Canada, then he needs to address it.

And I swear, if I see one more post in a forum from some European saying football players are pansies because they wear pads while Rugby players don't, I will throw something.

I'm thinking it's the genetic makeup. Asians are generally smaller-framed. I saw a special on Discovery or TLC about the genetic makeup of people of African descent having muscular tendencies that enable superior running and jumping ability - and that the area of Africa from which they come impacts that muscular structure.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
