For the first time in NFL history, a black quarterback could be named the sole MVP of the league this year. If Cam Newton can hold off Carson Palmer and Tom Brady, then Newton will become the first African-American quarterback to be named the sole winner of the award (Steve McNair was co-MVP in 2003).
One of the things that makes Newton so good is his ability to run. The 26-year-old has rushed for 626 yards in 2015, which leads all NFL quarterbacks. Newton's ability to run and the ability of other black quarterbacks -- like Tyrod Taylor and Russell Wilson -- to run led to an interesting comment from former Redskins defensive end Dexter Manley on Saturday.
During an NFL pregame show on WUSA-TV in Washington DC, Manley had an interesting theory on why black quarterbacks like to run the ball.
"Most of the black quarterbacks, they like running, because they're probably used to running from the law," Manley said.

Phew...wasn’t a white guy who said it. No riots tonight.

God,now we’ll probably be in for a weekend of protesting,burning,and holding up traffic.

Good thing Manley is black himself.
A football helmet has a higher IQ than Dexter Manley.
He can say it because he is black. But no rasis cracka white boy best not be sayin it. Yo, yo, yo!
Tom Brady is the best QB evah. He’s gonna win 5th ring and heads will explode.
They're right next to the camouflage tuxedos:

John Riggins hunting.
Running from the law? Yikes...how stupid!
Agreed...love watching a great player ,,,,loved watching Wayne Gretzky, Barry Sanders,,,,,etc
For crying out loud, when Cam Newton was QB at Auburn, he stole another students laptop.
When University police came knocking, he flung the laptop out his dorm room window. It was recovered. There were several attempted logins to the University computer system with the id C.Newton.
Anyone else other than their star QB would still be in Alabama prison making license plates.

Black quarterbacks may be seldom, but they are 68% of the rest of the population.
