Black QBs vs Black Coaches and GMs

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?

      Bucs barely beat the Jets yesterday and were already a mash unit on their offensive line when they played the falcons. The Falcons got six sacks against JJ McCarthey who after the game was "injured." He suck worse than bryce who cares.    okay then does Tet jumping fifteen feet in the air and pulling down a bryce blimp not count as a throw? I don't remember if there was a defender behind him there but that ball isn't an NFL throw and should have been six the other way. we can go back and forth on this. At the end of the day, like I said, the common factor for the last three seasons of hell is Bryce.

      We start off with usually one or two primary reads and a third read which is your checkdown on most passing plays. But we do send a back in the flats as a check down or primary route when the defense doesn't send someone to cover. Or like yesterday we audiblized to it to slow down the blitz. All teams run similar plays. It is a copycat league. But you run plays consistent with the talent on your team. That has held us back somewhat.
