Highest paid....Russell Wilson
MVP....Patrick Mahomes
Number one draft pick...Kyler Murray
Leading Heisman candidate....Jalen Hurts
That ability to escape the pocket, extend plays, plant that...run? pass?...seed, is where things are heading. No backer ever has to worry about Eli, Rivers, Brady, Dalton, running the football. That can't be said about those mentioned above.
Lamar Jackson is what we see at Arizona(faster than Jackson), Oklahoma, Ohio State, and all over college/HS football nowadays, that mobile QB, a guy who can scoot 30 yards, extend plays.
The first black QB's were Willie Thrower, Marlon "Magician" Briscoe, James Harris, "Jefferson Street" Joe Gillum. (can't really count Fritz Pollard) but none of them made any impact.
It started with Doug Williams, Warren Moon and Randall Cunningham, they proved that yes blacks can play NFL QB.
Today there are more black starting QB's than ever before.
Can't ignore....
DeShaun Watson
Kordell Steward
Daunte Culpepper
Jeff Blake
Rodney Peete
Vince Young
Colin Kaepernick
Lamar Jackson
Jacoby Bissett
Teddy Bridgewater
Tyrod Taylor
Andre Ware
Vince Evans
Akili Smith
Geno Smith [Reply]
In fairness to the thread starter, if folks studied the history of black qb's and the systematic prejudice they have faced then it is heartening to see that walls have been broken down and now black qb's are more visible/successful today than ever before. [Reply]

Well, anyone that has followed the game for the last 30+ years should understand that... we're long past the days of some spare reporter asking Doug Williams how long he's been a black QB.
The reactions in the thread are based upon the fact that the thread starter has a higher than normal douche count. [Reply]
I tried politely telling this joker several days ago that he should tone down his style, he wouldn’t listen and now look at him... the whole board can’t stand his ass [Reply]

The crazy thing is some of the prejudice beliefs still lingers on today as we saw with the whole "Lamar Jackson should play WR" stuff that came out during the combine. [Reply]

I think that was due to his accuracy, or lack thereof. [Reply]
