Every year they do this with Black QBs
Kaep is out of the league and yall still surprised by this? They don't respect athletic QB's as they believe it is a mental position and we already know how they view black folk intelligence. White QB's are viewed as easy to work with and hard working. Black QB's difficult, primadonna, unwilling to put in the time, unfocussed.
Why do we allow this blatant 'cism?

Most overrated GM in NFL history. Losing all of those Super Bowls couldn't have happened to a better person.
This BUM would cry to the NFL when Peyton Manning and the Colts were neutered by the Patriots defense. He cried to the league and got them to change the rules for DB's.

This same senile buffoon said he had a FIRST ROUND grade on Brady.

Can't stand him, the pill popping junkie, or that organization.

Bill Polian Says Lamar Jackson Is 'Short,' Should Move to WR in the NFL
SCOTT POLACEK
FEBRUARY 19, 2018
Quarterback Lamar Jackson is 6'3" and won the Heisman Trophy during his time at Louisville, but former Indianapolis Colts general manager Bill Polian thinks he is "short" and should switch positions.
According to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, Polian appeared on ESPN on Monday and pointed to what he sees as lackluster height and throwing accuracy when it comes to Jackson's NFL potential.
"Short and a little bit slight," Polian said of the Louisville product. "Clearly, clearly not the thrower that the other guys are. The accuracy isn't there."
Polian also felt that Jackson would be better off as a receiver: "I think wide receiver. Exceptional athelete, exceptional ability to make you miss, exceptional acceleration, exceptional instinct with the ball in his hand and that’s rare for wide receivers. That’s [Antonio Brown], and who else? Name me another one, Julio [Jones is] not even like that."
While Polian took issue with Jackson's accuracy, his 59.1 completion percentage was better than the 56.3 Wyoming's Josh Allen posted in 2017. Bleacher Report's Matt Miller projected Allen as the No. 5 overall pick to the Denver Broncos.
Jackson threw for 3,543 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2016 and 3,660 and 27 touchdowns in 2017, winning ACC Player of the Year both seasons and the Heisman, Maxwell and Walter Camp Player of the Year Awards in 2016.
His NFL.com draft profile calls him an "elite playmaker with rare ability to hit home runs with his arms or legs" and pointed to his prowess on deep passes and how he "destroys pursuit angles when he runs."
His elusiveness as a runner—50 touchdowns on the ground in three seasons at Louisville—would help him should he attempt to become a wide receiver, but it will also allow him to extend plays as a quarterback when the pocket breaks down and make an offense even more dangerous because he can take off at any time.
Polian doesn't see Jackson as a quarterback at the next level, but Miller projected him as a second-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The only QB that might be better than Jackson is Rosen
The only glaring flaw is his accuracy last year but he was propping up that awful squad last year try to win.
The only other flaw that I can really sink my teeth into is his frame. His career longevity while taking an absurd amount of hits if he don't transition to a safer style of play.
But fukk Polian. Jackson has more of right to be drafted as a QB than Josh fukking Allen.
