Black QBs twice as likely to be benched than whites

Ray Rhodes got one year in GB and went 8-8 and was fired

I'm only posting in this thread so others here don't get their mind manipulated by an obviously fraudulent claim being made to make you angry, bitter, and put you in a powerless, non-responsibility taking, victim mindset.

That's all I'm here to say.

Yep that was the first and only time a head coach had an all black staff in the NFL.

Mike Tomlin is the most overrated coach probably since Buddy Ryan.

You're only here because you can't come to terms with the fact that whites are still racist towards blacks in this day in age.

You're here to deflect so you can keep your head in the sand.

Great article. They didn't even have to talk about benching. They could have just talked about the overall treatment of black QBs by the different teams.

I mean has any white QB been locked out of the team facility and treated the way the titans treated McNair? Even after years of restructuring his contract to free up money for the team.

Pretty sure Jeff George got that treatment I'm the 90s

He won a ring

Tomlin has a super bowl ring and has continued winning with a revamp d and steelers letting dudes like Emmanuel Sanders, mike Wallace walk

What?? So when McNabb was benched against the Ravens that wasn't some bull shyt.

It was so fukked up that Ray Lewis and Ed Reed both called out Andy Reid and the philly media and they were opposing players.

Lewis and Reed said how Andy was setting up McNabb to fail and called out how predictable the plays were.

Not to mention the Eagles trading McNabb (when he finally got some young weapons) so Kolb could start. Plus McNabb too the Eagles to the NFC Championship game and first round of the playoffs the two years before he was traded in the offseason.

The McNabb shyt in Philly was a fukking disgrace and I have taken joy in every fat Andy failure ever since.

the comments of this article got me

Why are we not focusing on the fact that whites are under-represented as players in the NFL?

It goes both ways. White athletes are not given an opportunity to prove themselves at certain positions. Cornerback, for example, there is not one white corner in the entire NFL.

If you think a coach or gm is more worried about preserving the white race at qb then keeping his job then you're a complete idiot

GMs and coaches without question listen to public outcries for change at the qb position. And that public is mostly white and views black qbs by a different measure.

Ignore it if you will, clown.

HARD EVIDENCE?! HA Take off the tinfoil hat.

If you don't see the flaw in this argument, then I don't know what to tell you. Ok, maybe I do...

Problems: Small sample sizes, disproportionate number of white to black QBs, black QBs benched for other black QBs (EJ Manuel), mixed race QBs (Is Russell Wilson considered "black"? He's also a white QB), number of black backup QBs, etc. The list goes on.

There's so many holes in this argument, it's just meant to get you upset. Don't care. Let's talk about why there are no black kickers and punters?

Also, black people can only screw up once? How about Mike Vick? He seems to still be making millions, including a $100M contract after his incarceration, while the average man is left to work himself to the bone for peanuts.

I'm from Philly so this article really gets to me. This "expert" had a preconceived notion and then went around skewing numbers and considering certain factors until he could "prove" his point. This is not science nor intelligence, this is something done to get a reaction from people and manipulate feelings.

Like I said, I'm from Philly where we had Randall Cunningham, a few crappy white interim QBs (plus Rodney Peete), and then Donovan McNabb. Nobody ever got benched because they were black here, only because they stopped being productive. In other words, gtfo you social engineering hack economist writer. RG3 got benched because he sucked and couldn't stay on the field in the first place because he runs like a wounded animal and any NFL-calibre hit will put him out of the game.

This is a non-problem.

Cam Newton > your favorite QB.

LMAO at this typical CaC response.

And yes, I know you're a CaC because you're trying to argue that a Black QB being replaced by another Black QB somehow makes unfair treatment of the first Black QB OK, That line of thinking clearly illustrates you're coming from a vantage point of ignorance having never faced this issue in any part of your life. TF, should I care if I get yanked on a short leash and replaced by another Black person whilst my white counterparts get breaks after breaks and are allowed to further their careers learning from those mistakes?

Dude Jeff George was known to have a shytty attitude with coaches and still got multiple chances. Plus he did not have the playoff success of McNair and wasn't overall considered as good as a QB as McNair. George was considered a pure potential type of dude. It was always if he only did this right or if he only committed himself. Folks were in love with dudes arm and throwing motion.

Steve McNair was arguably a border line HOF who carried that team for years. He also took that team to the Superbowl and two AFC championship games. There was no reason to lock him out of the work out facility.

The titans literally chained up the door of the workout facility to not let him in. Then they told him to go home and not come back. Only to trade him before the season started.

I don't know why folks think this shyt is hard to believe. For years the NFL had positions such as MLB and OL Center and Free Safety that were designated only for whites.

The NBA had an unwritten policy that you could not start more than two black players at home and 3 on the road. Years later they had a policy that the last two positions on the bench were dedicated to whites.
