Not to keep this issue going (I'm pretty annoyed with it in general) but why does it as if black coaches are just as accepted and welcomed as white coaches, but with Black QBs there is always (and I mean always) some kind of controversy regarding them. Even with black GMs {who, next to the owner have the most power and control over the team) nobody really seems to care that they are black. I had no idea the GM in Baltimore was black. Nobody cared. It wasn't a big deal. Had we hired a black coach, nobody would have cared. If he performed, thats awesome, if not, oh well, but I doubt a big deal would have been made about it. Black QBs on the other hand, who have considerably less control of a team that their coachs or GMS are ALWAYS in the center of a race controversy. It simply fails the logic test. Is it because black coaches are proven? In the last few years black coaches have enjoyed much success, to the point where nobody even talks about their success anymore. Of course, there are the scrubs, but....thats to be expected I guess. You would be surprised to find how many black GMs there are in sports in general, as nobody brings their race to attention. They're accepted. Why can't the same be said for black QBs? And no, I'm not calling you racist, but the fact that this stupid ass race poo keeps getting brought up pisses me off, because I seriously believe 99.9999% of the board consist of good honest people, but even that doesn't prevent the discussion from coming up.

You brought it up and are asking why it keeps coming up?

I stopped reading with the bold part. You are an idiot, plain and simple if you believe that is the case as is Warren Moon. No one has a problem with black QB's they have issues with dual threat QB's coming out and being forced on us fans when we know they aren't going to work out in the NFL.

Guess what? I didn't like The Golden Calf of Bristol or Eric Crouch, both are two of the best Dual theats to ever play college football and both are white. I didn't like Marques Tuiasosopo either. He isn't black.

The game will never change to the point dual threats will succeed full time. QB's must still learn to read defenses, take drops, deliver the ball on time etc.

Perhaps you should have kept reading. I didn't say people didn't like them. I said there is always a controversy for some reason, and I didn't understand it considering most people aren't racist.

I'll wade in here, I'm just watching golf..

Vick brought it on himself, so did Young and Russell... What issues did those three have before their own problems (Vick had the dogs, Young with the suicide talk and antics and Russell with the horrible play and drugs)

What issues/controversy, did McNair have? How about Leftwich or Garrard? Haven't heard any issues with Josh Freeman. What am I missing?

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
