He wasn't talking about Josh Allen, fellas...
It is what it is.
I mean, at least Lamar is talented. Can't doubt that and he's shown he can do a lot more than, say, Herbert. It feels more like a Black Panther thing. Yeah I thought it was a good movie but I'm not gonna scream about how it's the best thing to happen to movies. [Reply]

You can tell Simms knows but he just dances around and gives him some pass and excuses.
"They put guys in the box and played alot of man and wanted to keep the guy in teh pocket and throwing the ball".
Simms basically has to do that, he is employed by NBC to cover the NFL and he can't just openly tell you the guy who's going to be a 2 time MVP is a shitty passer, it makes the NFL look bad. [Reply]

I understand the history of racism at the QB position but that shouldn’t matter in this instance. It’s MVP, Most Valuable Player. Say what you want about his ability to throw the football, no one argues that Lamar is not a fucking phenomenal football player. [Reply]

That's part of it, especially for the black commentators if they rip on Lamar they are going to be viewed poorly for doing that.
Shit as weird as it is to say this, there are fans that think Mahomes isn't a "black QB" cause well he isn't ghetto to be honest. [Reply]

Which is pretty racist in and of itself.
I've seen people point to Brittany as proof that Pat isn't black. Disgusting. [Reply]
I mean Pat is biracial so you can't call him black while ignoring his white half. But with that said, he surely got his athletic ability from his dad's side, including his facial features.
CJ Stroud's mom is also biracial so that makes him partially biracial, too. [Reply]
