TSC Fantasy Football Champion 2016
I get the point and the pick is really a gamble (like every pick in the draft) but with these rules a midocre QB can thrive in the NFL now and we all know 90% of the time a QB is going to be taken first. Rules are different and the money is A LOT DIFFERENT so the QB's that show out the most in college are going to get picked like this.
He's looking at past drafts where if the quarterbacks were from "small schools" they wouldn't be picked this high and the teams would have just picked the better players at different positions of need but it's a different NFL now. What was looked at back in the day as being an issue (QB from a small school who didn't play against the top school) wouldn't get picked because of it.
If Ben Roethlisberger was in this draft he'd have been a top pick instead of falling to what I think was the 11th pick. Even when he was drafted people couldn't believe it because he wasn't from a top school.

I just don't understand (but I don't know how folks like to pretend) this guy went second and ole boy from OSU (who beat bama) went after him later in the draft LOL
All black QBs in college are better at the position than whites..and I can't understand why these black QBs don't put pressure on this racist ass league[/QUOTE]
Dashaun Watson will probably be the 1st QB taken in '17.

Stop focusing on Negatives there are more Black QBs than ever before in the league if you count Wilson and Kapernick together they both equal a full blooded negro man:
Cam Newton: Sixth black starting QB in Super Bowl
We are rising to prominence in leadership positions in the game there are several Black head coaches as well.

Sneaky athleticI hear his "footwork" is impeccable
That's exactly what it was. We always have to have qbs rated high as fukk. That's what generates hype. An olineman doesn't generate interest like a QB does. There are 2 slots at the top for qbs every year. Just change the names. Weak draft but they will still hype up 2 meh qbs
Prescott is going to be good if he can sit for a year. Brissett if he can sit for four years like Tyrod did.

Brad Kaaya barring a catastrophic injury will be a first rounder next year. Black quarterbacks are given plenty of opportunities to succeed. We've seen two teams in particular in Seattle and San Francisco tie their hopes to black qb's. SF changed their entire offense just suit Kap's needs.
Now if you want to talk black coaches not being given the same opportunity as their white peers.... That's conversation I'll have

Disagree on Prescott. For some strange reason QB's coming out of that Urban Meyer offense rarely do well at the next level. Alex Smith is the exception and it took him years before becoming a solid pro.
U do know both of those black QBs you've named had to "take" someone spot..
They had white QBs projected to start the upcoming season
Russell beat out Matt Flynn who was brought in to start for that season
Kap only got a look because of dude went down with an injury, trust me, if it was for Jim standing up for him when Alex came back, Kap will still be on the bench...
come again..
Vikings finally gave up on sad ass Ponder and gave Teddy his run...I think the QB before got hurt and Teddy came in...
Still not a fair call for black QBs who are wayyyyyy better at the position....

Tom Brady had to take someone's spot..... So I don't understand what your point is. Wilson won the qb battle fair and square as a rookie so that certainly doesn't help your argument. Alex Smith is a good NFL starter, so I'm not sure what your point is there either. Kap stepped and showed out, and Alex Smith was traded. These are all examples of players being given opportunities in different ways and being rewarded.
Rookie qb's are rarely just handed the offense when it comes to good teams like San Francisco and Seattle.
