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]

Jimmy the Greek was right - those people are just naturally better at solving mysteries. We just have to stop being so pc and admit it's true.

What the hell does Charley Pride have to do with black QBs?
It should be pretty obvious.....
I was asked....who gives a ****....about race.
So when talking Charlie Pride, Ernie Davis, Jack Johnson, Hattie McDaneil, Deford Bailey, Jackie Robinson, Joe Perry, George "Little Chocolate" Dixon, Doug Wiliams, Fritz Pollard, Isacc Murphy, why do we have to read about them being black?
Remember that movie about that Texas Western basketball team starting five blacks.....A MOVIE over that. Why a movie about a white QB at Grambling?
People do care, I was obviously giving examples of how it works. [Reply]

Amen, brother. I for one am sick and damn tired of hearing about George "Little Chocolate" Dixon's ethnicity. Can't we just appreciate him for that thing he's so famous for without bringing up his race? [Reply]

Wiki
George Dixon (July 29, 1870 – January 6, 1908) was a Canadian professional boxer. After winning the Bantamweight title in 1892, Dixon became the first ever black athlete to win a World Championship in any sport; he was also the first Canadian-born boxing champion.
What got ignored by Joe Public is for years blacks were dominating sports where race limitations didn't exist like boxing and track. Black athletes from HBCU schools kicked ass on those all white SWC/SEC conference dudes at the NCAA and our Nationals. People saw it long before that Texas Western team. [Reply]

Simply how it will go.
I'm probably gonna melt a lot of snowflakes with this opinion, but ain't it about time we shipped these Canadians back where they come from?

I wasn't going to comment on this thread because it's nonsense. But this point is actually interesting. I wonder how much club sports are ruining athletic talent. Biggest example is soccer. US soccer is more interested in profiting off of soccer camps from the rich. In many poor countries, all you need in soccer is a ball and a field and these players are often the best because they often spend almost every waking hour on the sport. Thankfully i feel like football doesn't have nearly this kind of problem. Any athlete of any background can get access to good coaching. [Reply]

True.
Well, unless they play for the Texans, of course. [Reply]
The success of black QBs isn't race driven. Most of the successful qbs this year are great runners. Last year, it was the year of the pocket qb. Mahomes, Brady, goff, brees, Rodgers... All do most of their damage in the pocket. Most of these QBs had bad years this season. Huge huge drop-off. I think the problem is that defenses overadjusted to stop passing games and left their run defenses exposed. That opened things up for athletic QBs. It will be interesting to see how defenses adjust this offseason to stopping lamar, 49ers run o, Derrick Henry, etc.... Have a feeling running QBs will drop-off next year. [Reply]

You don't have ti talk about it so what's the problem? [Reply]
