I've never been into writing short stories on here to argue a point and I am not about to start now. That said, I don't see racists. I know they're out there but recognition is the first false step IMO. I try to follow a more positive thought process and, thus far, that has served me well.

If someone were to cross me they would get dealt with. I would like to think the power of positive thinking and making good choices has something to do with the fact that people don't cross that line.

Stats are often deconstructed in many many ways.

I don't really understand what your comments have to do with this discussion. But, okay. :confused:

Well spoken (the argument as a whole)...

One thing is for sure. I definitely don't want to get into an argument with you.

I think that in high school and college that teams are more interested in winning than teaching their players what it takes to perform at the next level. So these QBs who can extend the play with their legs open up big plays in high school and college and the defenses there can't combat that, so they're successful.

I'd add to this and say that athletic QBs from an early age will need to be taught by someone to just drop back, find the opened receiver and read defenses. Waiting until you're in College or worse yet, in the pros is a recipe for failure, that's for any QB any Ethnicity.

It all comes down to ability. It's no different than whites disappearing from the CB or RB position.

It all comes back to "substance", regardless of which or at what time something is "in-style". Black QBs were becoming "in-style" there for a moment, but once the "substance" wasn't following, that fad quickly faded and people started realizing it didn't really matter what color qb you had just as long as you had someone with something to offer your team in the form of "substance".

Really Tom Brady put an end to this speculation that black qb's had something more to offer over the typical unmobile white qb. He was out there winning super bowls doing nothing "special" all while the "special" qbs were sitting home in January and February. McNabb being literally the only one to show the special skill-set required to even get to the big dance, though that was mostly due to a watered-down NFC at the time, and not so much his "special skill-set".

It in the end all comes down to being a "special" QB and having nothing to do with the color of your skin. Just so happens that black QBs have stereo-typically fallen into the trap of thinking they have to play a certain way do to public perception that that's what they bring best to the table. Eventually though, I think it's only a matter of time until a black qb comes along and shatters this perception, showing full well that ones style of play has nothing to do with skin color.
