Some dude ripping Vick a new one for fun


Recommended Posts

Aren't we past the era of everyfamous black figure having to represent his entire race? Warren Moon has never liked being heralded as the greatest "black" QB.

I've never once thought a SINGLE thought a long the lines of:

"My goodness Vick is a thug. I'm going to assume that all Black quarterbacks are thugs now. I'm officially off the Armanti Edwards bandwagon now, I don't care if he's a WR now. He's black and Vick is the official spokesmen of Black QB's."

Its a plot by the white man to keep brothers down don't you know. Dammit I think we drop the ball on that last presidential election.

Maybe there aren't any good black QB's because being a smart little league, HS, or college (or whatever lower level of Football play) coach they put the good athletes outside or in the backfield. You put the slow white kid at QB. Really generalizing here but it is what it is.

Damn...I am black too and agree with every word of this article. I hope KT don't bash me and Jason Whitlock as a "cracker" lover or disowning my own race.

    • We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.
    • This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together. 
    • Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
