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?

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By strato · Posted

      That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
