It's NOT racism, but it IS sterotyping. In fact it's a classic case of sterotyping. White rb's fail. Come on.

I bet the scounts that either brought this up or have this mindset, are not on winning squads.

A winner wants to win. And they will get whoever they can to help win.

Not knowing the context in how this was brought up, it could be like what murph said. He may have said this offhandedly and a reporter ran with it.

There is no reason for Gerhart to not be a 2nd round pick. His college stats, measurables, and workouts are worthy of a top 10 pick. Hell who gives a damn even if he's hindu?? The kid can play and IMO will be the 1st White RB to break 1000 yds. since Craig James in 1985 as soon as he's given an opportunity. Any team would be lucky to get him.

One isolated incident. How long has the arguement been going the other way at the QB position?

Interesting it's the other way in baseball. Blacks claim they're being phased out. I think it's more the pool the players comes from now is truly international.

But, how does a guy like Orlando Hudson who was arguably the Dodgers MVP the first half of last season have trouble getting a long term contract?

For the record I haven't seen one scouting report calling Toby "deceptively fast."

Thats cause hes not. He really is a power back. When did S. Greene go last year? Oh yeah 3rd. Why is him being rated as a 2nd-3rd rounder surprising? Backs that don't have top end speed almost always fall to that range nowadays.

Gerhart should play the position he's suited for.... FB.... He can't be a RB in the NFL :P

Way to have a creative opinion, just regurgitate everything the media tells you to, lol (I'm assuming that was sarcasm). Gerhart will be a beast pared up to Sproles (I think the Chargers in the 2nd would be an ideal landing spot). He is a power RB that ran a 4.5 40 its not like hes slow just not fast. He is just as fast (most likely faster) then Bettis and he did outrun Blount easily.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
